Recipe for a Peace of Mind
04 Dec 2015We all have an appetite for a peace of mind. Unfortunately, too often it seems it’s come to this – people are divided, though we are more alike than we are different. We blame, finger point, cave to fears…and the truth is…most of it may not even be real. This Ted Talk brought to light […]

Lightening the Load
06 Nov 2015There’s been something on my mind lately. It has to do with lightening the load, letting the past go, forgiveness. Basically, it’s about not dragging your baggage behind you…forever. I’ve wanted to write about it, but realized I’ve written something similar before and I don’t want to be redundant. Let me repeat that, I don’t […]

You’re Cracked – The Kintsugi of You
10 Apr 2015I love the look of Kintsugi. You know, the Japanese pottery with the intentionally decorated crack in it?

Don’t Push, Folks!
10 Jan 2014I don’t like pushy people. And, I don’t think it’s just me that feels that way. Last week someone struck me as “pushy” and it set off a chain reaction. I’m not a spineless wimp…people who know me well will attest that I have a “mind of my own.” I’ve scrimmaged in the corporate shark […]

The Pebble
13 Sep 2013“You can be walking on the most beautiful beach you’ve ever seen and if there’s a pebble in your shoe, that’s all you can think about.” ~ Jim Hardy We all have our pebbles. Small, sharp sticking points that demand our attention. As a friend told me, we can have the most incredible, full lives […]

We’re Getting the Dog Finger Again!
05 Apr 2013Some of you have traveled the journey of “My Dog’s Life” and shed some tears reading my last blog post about my terrier who, at the time, was dying. You’ll recall my acceptance of a failed relationship and witnessing me swimming in a pool of guilt and angst. Like most things in life, that has […]
