Live: Singing the first part of ‘Old MacDonald Had a Farm’ and LuLu and Little Man singing the part with the animal, then finishing in chorus “E-I-E-I-O”…and I know, we sing ALOT!! Love: Tim Gunn on Oprah. Enough said. Learn: Sometimes you have to look at something from a different angle. When Man was emptying [...]

Being Thankful Through It All

2 Comments 25 August 2010

Everything we go through serves a purpose, and we can definitely learn from each experience. We are all both students throughout life and teachers. I know it can be hard to realize this, especially when we’re going through a rough patch. But we can release the weight on our minds by being thankful through it [...]

What to Watch Tonight: The Raw but Hopeful Story of “Precious”

No Comments 19 August 2010

My husband and I saw “Precious” when it first hit the theaters. I was talking to someone today about the movie, and she still hadn’t seen it yet. If you haven’t either- get the DVD, download it on iTunes, find it on Amazon – just watch it. I cried when I saw the commercial, not [...]

Dinner With an Unsupportive Friend: A Tale of Two Sides

Years ago, I wanted to begin a new venture. Not just with work, that was part of it, of course, but with my whole life. And, there was this little voice inside my head telling me: Just do it. Take the darn leap and don’t look back, just spread your arms out, and believe that [...]

Finding Peace Within the Storm

No Comments 17 August 2010

“Serenity is not freedom from the storm, but peace within the storm.” I love this quote; it has meant so much in my life. A simple American Indian proverb that I have posted on my refrigerator serves as a way to keep me grounded during turbulent times. After all, life can not be free from [...]

Permission to Just “Be”

No Comments 14 August 2010

While the end of the week is a very popular time for everyone to think about resolutions, what they want to change, what they want to accomplish, I am taking a stand against the “mad rush” to “start” (the  phenomenon that happens every Monday), and instead, asking you to consider how awesome you are right [...]

How Clothes Can Affect Our Mood

No Comments 13 August 2010

I went to 7-11 just to pick up a gallon of milk. I was in old sweatpants and my hubby’s oversized sweatshirt, hair in a half-knot. As I stepped out of the car, I looked down at my awful attire, and pictured Stacey and Clinton (from “What Not to Wear”) attacking me, throwing me into [...]

The Art of Saying “No”

I was working with a client who was frustrated about having no time. We did a Day Dump exercise, and we could plainly see why. Her daughter was involved in nine extra-curricular activities. Yes, nine. Every night, my client drove her daughter from activity to activity. With the activities came the volunteering, donating, buying. She [...]

Message from a Friend at Just the Right Moment

A friend contacted me the other day and told me after 2 years of fighting it, she gave up her resistance to contact lenses. She said while her eyes dry up pretty quickly and sometimes they’re hard to put in, she loves the end result.

Seeing Things for the First Time

“A blimp! A blimp, mommy!! I can’t believe it’s flying above our house!! It’s SOOOO cool!!!” Millana sang and danced around the yard with EJ jumping and following behind, chiming in with “Whoa! Wow! A blimp!!” It was genuine excitement for the Verizon advertisement that flew above our house, and it was absolutely priceless.
