This morning I received a random email which prompted me to review a college course catalog for some classes that might intrigue me. I found nothing. Which made me wonder why, after so many years, the course descriptions looked remarkably the same way they did when I headed off for college in the 80′s. Aside [...]
Yesterday my friend mentioned something about waiting and allowing people to show you what role they want to play in your life and accepting their decision to play this role. (This was almost the reverse perspective from issuing an ultimatum so I decided to explore this idea a bit.) I’ve found that people usually have [...]
There seem to be two general camps for my married friends: Blissfully happy and wonderfully paired and working as a team to meet challenges, or Seeking attention, affection and that missing something, somewhere outside their marriages And there seem to be two camps for my single friends: Those who are blissfully happy and content being [...]
Oh how I have enjoyed the many experiences I’ve had this week. Hard to believe I’d be saying that after attending a very unpleasant meeting on Tuesday with a man who felt the need to boast, criticize and attempt to belittle others. A man who by all outward appearances had made his mark on the [...]
“It’s me or her. Choose.” “Either you marry me, or I’m going to break it off. What will it be?” “It’s my way or the highway.” “I’m not going to do X, until you do Y.” So many times without realizing it, we issue ultimatums to our own detriment. We can get so caught up in [...]

Continue Reading →If someone wants to be a part of your life…
Continue Reading →You have a choice in all matters. To consciously choose what you want is to create your life from a powerful position – but your want comes from a place of neediness – think of it like “begging the universe”. Not ideal. So today, I encourage you to make some choices. Good ones… Here are [...]
Continue Reading →I have a very strong feeling that the opposite of love is not hate – it’s apathy. It’s not giving a damn.~Leo Buscaglia If you ask 20 people what romantic love means to them you’re likely to get 20 different answers. Such is the case about this commonly sought yet somewhat elusive feeling. When [...]
Continue Reading →Here are a few reminders to help you think in a bold way, even when you’re feeling kind of blah. Preface each of these with “OF COURSE….” He or she is going to love me. Why wouldn’t they? I can’t fail! I can figure this out! I am open to love! I can wear it [...]
Continue Reading →I often use the the image to the left (yep, that’s me as a child) in my Twitter and Facebook profile. I switch back and forth between the child and adult images as a personal reminder of the childlike spirit that remains in me despite my adult experiences. I look at this picture and remind [...]
Continue Reading →I had a few ideas floating through my head after my meditation session this morning. I realized that for the last few weeks I’ve been worried needlessly about stuff, when in fact, my life is pretty damn good. So today’s daily affirmation is short and sweet. Use this when it’s time to reset, refocus and [...]
Continue Reading →“Nothing is so fatiguing as the eternal hanging on of an uncompleted task.” ~William James Are you in a rut because you refuse to acknowledge that you are procrastinating about a few things in your life? Maybe you just don’t want to deal with those unwanted calls, the junk mail/email that piles up, or figuring [...]
Continue Reading →You’ve scrolled through Google looking for the best dating advice out there… You’ve even Googled the exact phrases s/he’s said. You’ve read countless wikis, fake advice sites, and you’ve also considered forking over $297 (or have already paid) for some sage advice from a dating expert. Still you’re mystified – you want someone to look [...]

Continue Reading →I love affirmations. I even have a daily calendar reminder that pops up and reminds me to re-center and re-focus with my affirmations – but lately I’ve done everything but. Instead I’ve just dismissed my reminder and gone on with my stressful days. Yeah so I’m working on major issues mind you, but I feel [...]
Continue Reading →Amore è paziente e gentile. Amore non è geloso o vanitoso o orgoglioso. Amore non è male educato, egoistica o irritabile. Amore non tenere un record di dei offese, l’amore non è felice con il male, ma è contento con la la verità. Don’t know Italian? Click here to translate.

Oh and it smells really good in here… I have a delightful page of tiny pre-fab houses to dive into thanks to House Beautiful magazine this month The artwork [...]
Continue Reading →The antics currently going on in the government have me thinking about accumulation, hoarding, debt and stagnation. These are the words I would use to describe a mentality of constantly seeking more. More stuff, more things. It’s that instant gratification mentality – I see it, I deserve it, and so I must have it. The [...]
Continue Reading →Over the past few weeks (some would say as a result of the series of eclipses that have recently occurred) a huge amount of truth has come to light in ways that have been amazing to me. What I’ve been able to discern from these revelations is that *most* people don’t lie to you simply [...]
Continue Reading →At one time or another we’ve all attracted drama and nonsense into our lives. Of course we have it. We can’t get through life without this balance of what we perceive as good and bad. Because without sorrow, what would we know of bliss? Whatever the cause for our anger, it is a life lesson [...]
Continue Reading →I have always leaned towards giving to others unselfishly, though lately I’m becoming more aware of how not always following this principle leads to despair. Over the years, I have been criticized for giving, and I have also had people come and go from my life who have benefited from my generosity. Some of these [...]

Continue Reading →Are you continually saying “I need help” or “I can’t do this by myself”? When you continually rely on others to do things for you when you are fully capable of doing things for yourself, you give control of your life to someone else. They can’t live your life for you, and they rarely know [...]
