What is Really Keeping You From Reaching Your Goals?

It’s ironic.  It’s only the beginning of the second week in January, and a post about following up on New Year’s resolutions almost seems irrelevant (at least according to the search engines).  But here’s how I see it… achieving goals isn’t a one-time declaration.  It’s an ongoing process of reminding yourself of your priorities, measuring [...]

5 Reasons to Make Your Health and Fitness a Priority in 2011

  Let’s face it ladies…we want to get fit, look great, and feel good, but when push comes to shove, our dreams and intentions of getting there often get stuck at the bottom of the pile.  2011 is the year to ditch the guilt, abandon the excuses and make your own fitness routine a priority.  [...]

Rock the New Year with a Little Heart and Soul and A Great Life Plan for 2011

I sit at my dining room table, writing furiously after an unintended absence last week.  I am glad to be back and looking forward to slamming the door on 2010.  To kick off the year, I feel compelled to document an event that has evolved into a requisite part of my life…the annual visit from [...]

The Sweet Sounds of Silence! Why we all need to turn down the volume.

I have visited three blogs recently in which the most recent post was devoted to the rare but coveted luxury of silence.  No doubt this has something to do with the overwhelming NOISE of the holidays.  It’s only Thanksgiving, and we’re all starting to feel it.  The stores are noisy, the relatives are noisy, the [...]

Let’s Kick it Off with a Crazy Impossible Dream Making Session!

Photo Credit: Football Player by Kovazg Last week, I wrote a post asking for people to join me to get in a pre-holiday crusade to get healthy down to the cellular level.  We have a sizable group of folks who expressed interest which will make it more fun and interesting. I wanted to open up [...]

3 Simple Steps to Create Lasting Change.

A few days ago, I declared my intentions to get in-shape although very few people seemed to care (woe is me). Maybe all my readers are already healthy, full of vitality and energy, at their ideal weight and looking hot.  Or, perhaps my “pre-holiday” timing is just all wrong and I underestimated folk’s willingness give up the [...]

Down on My Knees Begging for Grace.

Context for this post:    I recently joined the Shed Project over at one of my favorite blogs; www.binduwiles.com.    The goal of the project is to shed anything that is unwanted in your life, from excess weight, to bad habits or stuff.  About 200 people from all walks of life, have joined together in support of each [...]

Remembering 911 and How My Family was Given a Second Chance.

Friday night I walked into the family room and found my two children plopped in front of the TV.  They were not just watching.  They were glued–eyes large as ping pong balls.  They had chosen a documentary on the history channel about 911.  I entered at during the tragic scene in which victims were jumping [...]

90 Magic Minutes for Mom!

detect invisible I want to discuss something very important today—something that will make a huge difference in your life if you take it to heart and learn how to ritualize it.  I call it 90 Magic Minutes for Mom and I recommend it daily. Our primary job as mothers it to be there, ready and [...]

Learning to Strike a Balance Between our Ego and Soul.

As a home schooling mom, I spend a lot of time with my children. Some days I am dealing with tyrannical egos, and some days, their beautiful, innocent, perky souls are leading the way.  I find it fascinating getting to know each side of them.  I think about the world they are inheriting and how [...]
