5 Minutes to a more Positive Year

On January 30, 2020

What is one small action I can take today to feel more joy in my life?  What is one tiny step I can take to move forward on my goals?  These are the two questions I ask myself every morning in 2020. The idea comes from a book I have started my year with, The Joy of Appreciative Living by Jacqueline Kelm. 2019 was a rough year for me, lots

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

Who’d You Bring to the Dance?

On October 4, 2018

I’m a bit of a Dancing With the Stars junkie and this season features its first blind competitor, paralympian Danelle Umstead. She is paired with professional dancer Artem Chigvintse. The job of Artem and the other pros on the show is to train non-dancers to dance. Their role is to design an experience which stretches their partner’s

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

Does This Room Come With Creativity; Or Is That An Up-Charge?

On June 26, 2018

My husband came to ‘visit’ me in Lisbon for a week and we took a little side trip to the island of Madeira, a Portuguese island located about 400 miles off the Moroccan coast and a 90+ minute flight from Lisbon. Because it was my birthday, I splurged on the hotel, opting for The Vine.

Which Lens Are You Looking Through?

On April 13, 2018

Have you ever been to the optometrist to get fitted for new glasses? Staring at the eye chart, you strain to assess magnification acuity. “Which one is better? Lens A?” Click. “or B?” Click. “A?” Click. “or B?” What if we used this idea and looked at the world through a different lens every day?

Sometimes, You Get What You Need…

On March 22, 2018

“You can’t always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you just might find, you get what you need.” –The Rolling Stones, 1969 “I did it again. Tried to jam 20 pounds of ‘stuff*%*’ in a 10 pound bag.” As I looked at my upcoming week on Sunday night, I thought, “how
