Why is Embracing Self-care Such a Big Deal?

Many of you know I recently crossed a milestone birthday—I entered the decade of 60. Somehow in my world view it is an accomplishment not a setback or something to hide. Actually I am grateful. Grateful to be alive considering all the ridiculous things I did in my mis-spent youth. Grateful to have family & friends that have enriched my life so much. And grateful most of all for the ongoing relationships that enhance my moments whether I am with someone or thinking of someone.

30 Day Challenge of Embracing Self-care

I want to do something counter cultural. I want to focus on embracing self-care for the next 30 Days. I want to see if there are ways I can slow down, look around, acknowledge and appreciate creation, books, food and most of all people.

What’s in The Power of Habit

Did you know that not everyone spends time thinking about habits they want to change? I was shocked to find this out! I thought, ‘maybe these people are in denial’. Or ‘maybe they’ve already arrived at perfection’. Then the thought ‘what’s wrong with me?’ began to surface. Why do I care so much about my

High stress job? Busy? Kids, work, relationships, aging parents? Do you feel

Navigating Changes in Life–Lean In

Have you given yourself permission to explore your dreams? You know the ones that you’ve had since you were a child? Flying an airplane, hiking Mt Everest, running a marathon, learning how to ________ ? So often we let go of those childhood dreams labeling them as childish and diminishing that part of ourselves.

Lean Into Change: Write 31 Days Series

  Food, Health & Wellness is the category I’m linking to for the 31 days challenge. It seems most appropriate as I want to focus my writing by connecting the 3 most important aspects of one’s life: personal, vocational and spiritual.  Author Glennon Doyle Melton said we’re all mini Trinities: body, mind and soul. I

A Great Habit is Hard to Start

Are you a daydreamer? I am. I’m not quite as into my daydreams as Walter Mitty, but I do find myself deep in thought about the “if this…then this” kind of daydream. Circumstances with work. Circumstances with finances. Favorite places to visit. People I want to spend significant time with. You name it, I have
