Oh goodness, I can’t begin to tell you how many times as a child I fell, got a little scratch, shed a tear, ok maybe two and waited for a band-aid. Usually, my mom would blow me a kiss and put a bandage on it a […]

Dear Reader,

Maybe it’s because I turn 49 this year. Perhaps it’s because I’m celebrating 20 years since launching my first business this month. Or maybe there’s just Something In The Air. Whatever it is, it’ […]

“What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” 

Whether you’ve read this quote in Nietzsche, heard it sung by Kelly Clarkson, or watched it parodied by the Joker in “The Dark Knight”, no one can deny the impact i […]

Geckos scamper across my porch every day. They are champions at adapting. On the tree trunk they’re tan, on the bush green. Rapidly they adapt to their environment. Even when they lose their tail due to a quick e […]

A Google search led me to an interesting survey which stated that most Americans are “comfortable with their abilities to cope with information flows in their day-to-day lives.”  I’m surprised by this findin […]

When it comes to nutrition, balance can mean many things. Let’s start with the main components of your plate.

Eating healthy is actually pretty simple if you use the “plate method” recommended by USDA and the A […]

You’ve always been an achiever. When you’re at the top of your game, you radiate confidence and determination; you’re in control of your world, accustomed to managing everything life throws at you. And to every […]

How many times have we been told that “balance” is the best way to live, work and yes, even play? How many of us succeed?  I can tell you that I am an habitual goal setter for getting balanced and I seem to alwa […]

Everything in life takes balance. Absolutely everything. Without balance, any situation becomes chaos. Emotions take over or legalism squashes you. It is like a swinging pendulum, once it swings to one side or the […]

Our instructor’s name was John, and the topic was tokenized real estate.  My response: “What on earth is that?”  John’s background and credentials were impressive.  He had over 30 years of real estate experience […]

Last month my adventurous niece drove her three children from Kentucky to Texas for spring break. Our great exploration was touring the Natural Bridge Caverns in San Antonio. Our great challenge was conquering all […]

How do you respond to stimulus? Is your brain most capable, most flipped on in quiet? Or is your brain at it’s best when there is noise, people, movement? Our schools and workplaces are designed to provide large d […]

The different meanings for “balance” intrigue me as I have grappled for many years for that elusive “balance” in my own life. The Oxford dictionary says that “Balance is an even distribution of weight enabling […]

When I decided to retire at age 50 and thought that I wanted to be a full-time mom, I was not quite right.  I needed more activity in my daily life (not to say that being a mom is not a lot of work) beyond home […]

It’s Sunday afternoon and Monday is trying to make eye contact with me. I’ve tried to stay present through the weekend and now my husband’s mumblings about the workload lurking in the week ahead have my mind tryin […]

Oh, happy days, spring is here! Hopefully, no more bulky coats and boots. For this very Southern gal that means sandals. It means sweet iced tea not hot tea or hot chocolate. For me, it also means time to plant my […]

This year marks seven years since I began hosting Virtual Tea Parties for our Community. 

SEVEN YEARS! 

Seven Years of hosting monthly gatherings of 4-8 business owners whom I adore.

Seven Years of i […]

The journey of a caterpillar becoming a butterfly has become an important life lesson for me. Observing this process has taught me much about living my own life mindfully.

After the butterfly has traveled its […]
