DON’T Follow Your Passion – What?

November 18th, 2012

Follow your passion, follow your passion, follow your passion. Repeat. Follow your passion.

That mantra has been the cornerstone of career advice for the last twenty years. In fact, I myself gave out that very same advice to my daughter, who is now a graphic designer in Boston. When she was in tenth grade in . . . → Read More: DON’T Follow Your Passion – What?

All’s Good In The Sandbox

November 16th, 2012

Today I'm not talking about the sandbox that my Bikram yoga and Koko fit club play around in – namely, my body. These two nemesis, with the exception of Tuesday, have played rather nicely all week and I'm hoping this is the beginning of a peaceful coexistence. Unlike the holiday dinners so rapidly approaching. . . . → Read More: All’s Good In The Sandbox

Time Change Changed Me

November 5th, 2012

Both yesterday and today I was up and out of bed at 5 am due to the time change. This is not so unusual. It's happens to a lot of us, but today, for me, it was as if someone flipped a switch when they pushed that daylight savings time button. I started in on . . . → Read More: Time Change Changed Me

Leaf Tales

November 3rd, 2012

The recent weather escapades left my half acre with about four inches of leaves covering a big part of it. Today was going to be Leaves Day. That's the day every fall my husband and I team up, rake the leaves into piles all over the yard, then rake each pile onto a huge tarp . . . → Read More: Leaf Tales

Simply…Happy Friday!

November 2nd, 2012

Long week. I’m sure some of you can relate. Closing out the season at Seafood Sam’s tonight with the love of my life. Baked seafood platter for two, a Pino Grigio to start and a chocolate martini for dessert…..the BEST way to end a rough and tumble week!

Sometimes we need to kick back, relax, . . . → Read More: Simply…Happy Friday!

Hurrycanes

October 29th, 2012

Today I had to drive home from NY to Cape Cod. I had been watching hurricane Sandy creep closer to my beach home all weekend, trying to determine the best time to make my getaway. According to the Boston news things weren't supposed to get rough until late afternoon. My best bet was to leave . . . → Read More: Hurrycanes

That’s Me! That’s Me!

October 27th, 2012

Today a great concept smacked me in the brain bright and early this morning. That probably meant that I shouldn’t dismiss it’s message so easily. I was reading Unglued: Making Wise Choices in the Midst of Raw Emotions by Lysa TerKeurst. This was an interesting little book I picked up on Amazon this week for . . . → Read More: That’s Me! That’s Me!

October Night

October 26th, 2012

Today I drove to NY to spend the weekend with family. A certain little one is having a first birthday. Some are having a difficult time right now. I hadn’t seen my dad since Father’s Day – June 17 – and here it was October. My sister just got two tiny lab puppies. Shopping centers . . . → Read More: October Night

You ARE Your Thoughts

October 18th, 2012

Today in yoga the instructor was trying to help new people stay in the room by encouraging them not to buy into the things their mind was telling them. He said, "You are not your thoughts." That sounded a little out of sync to me, even though I understood his intentions.

In effect, I . . . → Read More: You ARE Your Thoughts
