The Power of “No”
A moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips. I’ve always hated this saying. It’s absolutely no fun especially for a girl who doesn’t like to say “no”. I say yes to dessert, shoes, wine, whatever. I don’t like to deprive myself. As soon as I do, I’m very sad about it. My dad…

Finding quiet
Sunny Sunday morning and I was sitting down to meditate. I was feeling anxious and my brain was cluttered and I needed to calm myself before I attempted to sit down and write. As I sat in my chair and began breathing my dog started barking. Some other dog, probably nowhere near my house, was…

Once in a Blue Moon
Today is a blue moon, which means it’s the 2nd full moon in the calendar month of August. Normally, we have only one full moon per calendar month. The old saying “once in a blue moon” comes from this occurrence and came to be a saying for things that didn’t happen very often. It was…

Finding the Perfect in the Imperfect

Making a Change
I recently took a tennis lesson. I’ve played tennis for about twenty-eight years. I know how to play tennis but I’m always looking for ways to improve things and I’ve got a pretty inconsistent forehand. I had a great instructor.

“No matter where you are in life, no matter what you’ve contributed to creating, no matter what’s happening, you are always doing the best you can with the understanding and awareness and knowledge that you have.” –Louise L. Hay. I love Louise Hay. An inspirational and incredibly intelligent woman.

Happy Summer Solstice
Today is the summer solstice. The word solstice comes from the Latin words sol (sun) and sistere (to stand still). Today, the Sun comes to a stop. How can you honor yourself today in this same way? Where in your life do you need to come to a stop? Breathe. To pause and consider, what…

Getting Into Alignment
Recently, I had the most interesting synchronistic week. The week started out a little against my beliefs as I was working on Memorial Day. I don’t like to work on holidays but I had just taken on a marketing consulting project the week prior and we had a fast turnaround. I still do some marketing…
