Habits. We all have them. In fact, we probably engage in dozens, if not more, of our habits before we even get dressed in the morning! Habits can be anything from brushing your teeth first thing in the morning to the way you put on your pants or the way you apply make-up. […]
So many of us are acutely aware of our health these days, especially considering our current climate over the past 1 1/2 years. (Has it really been that long??). And many of us have succumbed to stressful situations with less-than-ideal actions (like me in last week’s article!). However, there is a way to give […]
I had a bad week last week. I was very disappointed with some news from a family member (not health-wise thankfully!) and then a few other things I was working on seemed to go down the wrong path. So, honestly, I felt down in the dumps. And even while usually staying at my happy […]
I learned a such a profound lesson the other day when I just about killed my beautiful new hydrangeas. Do you have a green thumb? I love love love my plants and flowers, but I’m ashamed to say that sometimes I struggle with keeping them healthy (and sometimes even alive!). I am […]

It starts in mid March and runs […]
It’s time for a New year. However, so many of us have good intentions with resolutions that last for… maybe a few weeks. Do something that you can really take ownership in. Mahatma Gandhi said, “A person is but the product of their thoughts, what they think they become.” We have so much power to turn our […]
It was a rough week. Heaven’s gain was our loss for a great lady who seemed to always know exactly what to say to make anyone feel good. The loss of my sister’s mother-in-law inspired me to reflect on how I may be perceived and how much it may help others. Of course, there are […]
Welcome in 2016 with some folks who put it much better than I could: “For Last year’s words belong to last year’s language And next year’s words await another voice. And to make an end is to make a beginning.” -T. S. Elliott Tomorrow, is the first blank page of a 365 page book. […]
