My fellow Sex and the City fans know exactly what I mean by that, but for those of you who don’t, here’s a quick recap. In the movie, Carrie pulls out the article about her (at the time) upcoming wedding with all the pictures of her in designer wedding gowns, looking so happy…on Valentine's Day, … Continue reading Being an emotional cutter

Alignment…or the lack thereof.
Lately I’ve been thinking a great deal about what it means to be in alignment. Everywhere I turn there is an article, or a webinar, or some other forum discussing this very topic, and somehow I leave those situations no better off than I started. It seems like the consistent message for getting into alignment … Continue reading Alignment…or the lack thereof.
Life in perspective
Yesterday I attended yet another memorial service for a friend who has left us way too soon, and since the moment I learned of his passing, my mind has been going 90 miles a minute. As I sat among so many others who were there to say their goodbyes, I realized how far I’ve come … Continue reading Life in perspective
The Winds of Change…
There’s a hard lesson that I’ve had to learn over the years about people. The saying is that people never change and I really don’t agree with that. I’m living proof that it isn’t true. What IS true, however, is that people only change…if THEY want to. Changing takes a great deal of effort, intention, … Continue reading The Winds of Change…
To be or not to be…extraordinary.
Maybe it’s the fact that my birthday is coming up, but I seem to be living in a deep state of reflection this week. It dawned on me recently that part of what I have been struggling with is the fact that I’m not really special. Now hold on and let me explain- this isn’t … Continue reading To be or not to be…extraordinary.
It’s not “just another day”
As I get older, I more often hear people describe their birthdays as “just another day”- like it’s not a big deal. They don’t care if anyone knows, don’t care if they do anything for it, and just really don’t pay it much attention. For those of you who fall in this category, shame on … Continue reading It’s not “just another day”
Saying “yes” to life…F.A.F. part 3
In part 1, forgiveness, we worked on forgiving not just others, but more importantly ourselves. Part 2, acceptance, had us learning to accept not just who we are, but where we are on our journey so that we can move forward. Finally, we get to the good stuff. In part 3, we learn to have … Continue reading Saying “yes” to life…F.A.F. part 3
Saying “yes” to life…and allowing yourself to.
I feel that it is important to talk about what I find is the hardest part of self-improvement, self-discovery, and growth, in the hope that it will help, as I’m sure some of you are dealing with this right now. I started really making self-improvement a priority about ten years ago, and have repeatedly hit … Continue reading Saying “yes” to life…and allowing yourself to.
The “Self-Esteem Curriculum” and the truth about education
We interrupt our regular programming for a little truth... As it happens, I started working on this piece weeks ago, but wasn’t ready to publish it for a couple reasons. I wasn’t really ready to upset everyone right after beginning this blog site, and it still needed some kinks worked out. But in light of … Continue reading The “Self-Esteem Curriculum” and the truth about education
A life without social media (GASP!)
I have never had an Instagram account, SnapChat, Twitter, or any others that exist outside of Facebook. I had a Facebook account and currently have a LinkedIn profile, which I don’t consider social media as it is meant to be a professional networking site and truthfully, I still never really use it. Anyway, in 2016 … Continue reading A life without social media (GASP!)
