Are you using ALL your Smarts?

On August 25, 2020

Have you ever had a big decision to make? How did you go about it? At some point did you make a list of pros and cons, or some other logical analysis, that tipped you towards the answer the numbers pointed to?

What’s Your Thread Count?

On April 22, 2020

Have you ever held a finely woven piece of silk in your hands? It is soft, fluid, with a natural luster that reflects the light in color-shifting ways. Delicate, and strong. One of the most precious fabrics in the world.

A Reckoning at the Slimy Rock

On August 22, 2019

I don’t think I can do it. It’s too high. The rock is too slippery. “Here, give me your arm, I’ll pull you up.” No, I’m too heavy. You’ll pull your shoulder out. (…trying again for a foot hold on the slimy rock) I don’t think I can do this. (Sobbing) “Just give me your

Who’s on Your Fire Team?

On August 15, 2019

Last week I had the immense pleasure of serving as a team leader for a diverse group of Army and Marine veterans at Semper Fi Odyssey Leadership camp. The program re-energizes their warrior spirit and helps them create a plan to move their life forward through rebuilding family relationships, going back to school, pursuing a

What Makes You Feel Alive?

On August 2, 2019

While on vacation in Maine last week, my husband and I took a hike on the coast trail in Acadia National Park from Otter Point to Sand Beach and back. The trail winds through the trees and over rocks, fairly easy but with its share of ups and downs, roots and rocks that beg for

Does your work “Spark Joy”?

On April 25, 2019

A last-minute opportunity to nab a couple of the long sold out tickets to Kenny Chesney came up. While not a close follower of his music, I thought—it’s a beautiful spring night, at a venue I haven’t been to before, and I know I’ll be totally refreshed by fan energy. Well, consider me a

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

Want More Happiness in Your Life? Make Your Own

On November 6, 2018

With mid-term elections upon us, are you as tired as I am about the overwhelming amount of anxiety, frustration, anger, disappointment, blame, fear (and fear-mongering), and hopelessness and desperation in our country? Whatever happens on Nov 6th, some part of our community will likely continue to feel that way. When I read about the idea

Where Did Your Wings Take You?

On September 20, 2018

Jump, and you will find out how to unfold your wings as you fall. –Ray Bradbury, author I don’t really think of myself as a ‘jump off the cliff’ type, more a ‘calculated risk’ taker. I prefer to travel off the beaten path, yet I can’t see myself hacking a new trail through unexplored

Is it OK to Get Angry?

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
