Today and Everyday
The other day, someone asked me how school was going and my answer was, “I still can’t seem to get my feet under me.” My stress level is high — unfortunately, high stress levels are all to common for so many of us. Frequently, when we feel stressed, our happiness suffers and so do […]
“Live as if you are going to die tomorrow. Learn as if you are going to live forever.” — Mahatma Gandhi Are you a lifelong learner? When was the last time you read a book for a reason other than pleasure? Reading or listening to personal or professional development (PD) materials is invaluable. It keeps […]
Summer….a great time to take a walk. I treasure my morning walks. There is just something about being outside and the rhythm of walking that is relaxing and energizing to me. I listen to podcasts or to the birds. Some days it is just the dogs and me; other days, my husband, daughter or friends […]
A few weeks ago, Mark and I were out walking the dogs. I was looking at the neighbor’s garden instead of where I was going and I didn’t see the dog stop in front of me. I tripped over her and after multiple lunging steps, managed to keep myself upright. Meanwhile, Mark is laughing saying he […]

If we set goals and create a plan of action, we can accomplish great things. Have you ever created […]
When we are born, we have an abundance of self-confidence. We love life and we love ourselves. Unfortunately, over time we begin to compare ourselves to others or others tell us we aren’t good enough and we believe them. Self–love, one of the most important aspects of our well-being, disappears. Self-love isn’t arrogance or conceit. […]
What if today you only had what you were grateful for yesterday? Good question to ponder. So often, we get caught up in what isn’t working or what isn’t right that we forget the good things we have in our life. Taking a few minutes each day to find something that we are grateful for […]
