The point
If you lose your cool because traffic made you late for yoga, you’ve missed the point, don’t you think? If you stand on the sidelines hurling obscenities at a coach’s conduct, you’ve missed the point, don’t you think? If you swear and sulk because family commitments made you tardy to prayer group, you’ve missed the point, [...]
Walking distance
I work near someone whose personality grates on my nerves. There’s no conflict; I make the effort to get along because that’s the right thing to do. Having said that, her voice is the last thing I want to hear on a busy day, a quiet day, an aggravating day or, for that matter, any [...]
T-h-i-n-k
I learned a new acronym and just have to share it with you all … before we speak – THINK: T – Is it true? H – Is it helpful? I – Is it inspiring? N – Is it necessary? K – Is it kind? ..::.. T – Is it true? Is what you’re about [...]
Price-point
If you really put a small value upon yourself, rest assured that the world will not raise your price. ~Author Unknown Lately, I’ve evaluated how I “spend” my time vs. how I want to. Isn’t it odd that we measure time in units of value? How did you spend your day off? Oh man, I [...]
Signs, signs everywhere signs
Driving to a workshop a few weeks ago, I enjoyed the morning sunshine and some Elvis tunes – it was his birthday that day, after all. Nothing like a little “Burning Love” to get me ramped up for a new adventure! Introducing the course materials, the instructor explained how she does her work (she’s a [...]

“When someone comes to me with a problem, I don’t care what it is: poor health, lack of money, unfulfilling relationships, or self esteem issues… there is only one thing that I ever work on, and that is LOVING THE SELF. I find that when we really love, accept and approve of ourselves exactly as [...]
On Releasing
A recent article I read made me think and, in turn, inspired me to write this post. Picture yourself standing on a dock and everything you want to release from your life has been placed into a small boat; picture yourself untying the boat from its moors and giving it a gentle push. Picture the [...]
On goodness
“The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow, do good anyway. Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough, give your best anyway. For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.” —Mother Teresa * * * Today [...]
Because sometimes I just know
Have you ever found yourself in a situation where what you feel doesn’t match what’s being presented to you? I have and I experienced it again this summer. We’d been introduced to a new couple via mutual friends when I experienced something that gave me pause: A feeling of unease. Butterflies. A sudden upset stomach. [...]
It doesn’t serve me anymore
When the hubbs and I decided to relocate our family from Texas to Michigan (his birth place) eleven years ago, I was on board with the move. In fact, it was my idea. But … I did have fears. After all, this is his home. His family. His friends. His stomping grounds. Home to his [...]
