What Do You Love About YOU?

  • On February 14, 2019
What do I love about me? That’s the question we were asked to envision for our morning yoga practice. As I laid there on the mat, with my arms wrapped around my torso like I’m giving myself a big hug (a great stretch to warm up the thoracic spine), not a darn thing came to

Who Wants to Shovel Snow? I Do! I Do!

  • On January 17, 2019
I had a great time shoveling snow this weekend! Bet that’s not what you expected me to say. I found it very calming and energizing. So much in our life is complex, unsolvable, unfinished. Shoveling snow; I could see immediate results. I knew when I was done (at least until the weather decided a few

Do You Know Who’s Cleaning Your Office?

  • On October 16, 2018
Do you know who processes your travel reimbursements, cleans your floors, empties your trash, guards the building?

  • On September 6, 2018
I was so angry. Angrier than I can remember being in years. Something I thought was fixed, had unraveled again. It was important to me. And the person who I thought was taking care of it, wasn’t. This is not a feeling I’m used to, anger. I really try to approach things with an open

Fix the Drip!

  • On August 23, 2018
I had become immune to the drip.  For a while, the sprayer function on my kitchen faucet hasn’t worked. Then an annoying tiny spurt of water from the corner of the downspout. And then…water dripping down the neck and pooling at the base. I started keeping a rag near the counter, so I could wipe

Who’s on Your Team?

  • On August 7, 2018
“Teamwork makes the Dream Work” — John C. Maxwell How often do you try to ‘go it alone’? For many of us, we got to a position of responsibility by (at least looking like we…) have our act together. That we are the solution to all problems. Barbell squats was my painful reminder that my

It’s Not About You…It Really is About Me

  • On August 2, 2018
I am getting ready to plunk down a significant amount of money for a major purchase.  I need to feel confident this is a good fit for me. Distractingly, the sales person I am working with spent more time spinning their own tale about the purchase than with how well the purchase fit me. This
