Midday Break: In Need of Chocolate

No Comments 31 August 2010

I told someone I was craving chocolate. She immediately said, “Oh, you’re going to go off today? I had a day like that last week.” Hmm. Go off what? The deep end? The ledge? The merry-go-round? Of course, I knew what she meant. I’m a woman! But, I just smiled. There are no magic pills; [...]

I have been on every diet A-Z. You name it, I tried it. It got so bad that I had no clue what to eat. Should I have carbs? lowfat? the zone? deal-a-meal? lean cuisine? low calorie? Then one day it dawned on me that I didn’t even know what types of food were actually [...]

It is raining today. LuLu, Little Man, and I are on our front porch just watching it fall. The kids are calmer on the porch when it rains – it relaxes their energetic little bodies. And, it is such a wonder to witness the drops covering the blades of grass and Lu’s flower petals in [...]

What to Wear? A Smile is Our Best Accessory

No Comments 20 August 2010

The weekend is here, and you may have parties, dates, picnics, or just a trip to the supermarket planned. I often used to stress over just figuring out “what to wear”, what would “flatter my figure” best, and spent more time planning that than focusing on having fun and connecting with others.

My great-grandfather grew up with very little, but made a nice life for himself in the United States. He wasn’t rich; he lived well, and he did a lot with what he had. He shared with people.

The Martyr vs. the Mirror: The Balance of Self and Others

No Comments 18 August 2010

70% of women feel out of balance, even Oprah said it’s the one thing she “craves”. Balance, although the definition is different for every human being, is linked to where we place our focus  and what we value. When we are focused more on tasks for others, we can become a bit of a martyr. [...]
