Thriving In Fresh Air

Fresh air is necessary.  It delivers oxygen and new thoughts to our souls and helps us begin again.

It’s that feeling that you get when you have been working inside for awhile and then you go outside, take a really deep breath and feel renewed.

Yes.  I think I can go on.

Fresh air.  Open the windows and let old frustrations escape and fly away while welcoming the new fresh spring air.

We need it for our well being to grow and thrive.

Fresh air gives us strength and resolve to stay on track.

I came upon this uplifting … Read More

Sweating For The Wedding

Jelly beans.  Cookies.  Cakes.  They are all calling out. Especially the jelly beans.  They are like crack for me.  There is a guy in my office who gave up chocolate for Lent and now he has a bowl of jelly beans on his desk which he continues to constantly refresh when the contents get low.  Ugh!  To me, that is just replacing one kind of sugar for another but oh well; each to his own. Anyway, I can’t tell you the amount of self control it takes for me to deny myself the jelly beans as I walk past his… Read More

A Renewing Morning Intention

November 2nd, 2015
Posted By:

Every day I choose to begin the day with a healing intention. I promise it doesn’t take much time. Often before we even open our eyes after a night’s sleep, our minds are taking in conflicting thoughts. Maybe we have an early morning appointment.  Maybe we don’t feel well.  Maybe we need to get the kids off to school.  Maybe we need to get to work.  Maybe we have all of these things going on and the morning has already slipped into an crazy example of life in the fast lane. Instead of trying to keep up with the snowballing… Read More

Serenity – Fresh & Green

August 24th, 2015

  I’m thinking this morning about quiet on this new Monday morning. Quiet while I gather my thoughts and remember my goals. Quiet while I center myself, hoping that my soul finds harmony. Quiet while I breath deeply and calm my thoughts. For today is a new day and I can choose to release within myself the power to become healthier; mentally and physically.. As today begins to unfold, I think about this inspirational thought from Thoreau that takes me to a peaceful green space:   “A single gentle rain makes the grass many shades greener. So our prospect brighten… Read More

A big shout out today goes to the multi-talented singer songwriter Owen Danoff for exceeding his Kickstarter goal of $15,000!!!

Crying & Healing

July 8th, 2013
Posted By:

This post is for anyone, and in particular someone who is close to me, who is currently going through an anxious time in their life and is unsure how it will turn out. Anxiety may be dogging you and causing sleepless nights, loss of appetite, an increase in appetite, a need to abuse alcohol or drugs (please don’t!!!!), crankiness or sadness and crying.  As in crying constantly.  Like every day.  At any time. This person close to me was talking recently about how crying really does make her feel better but she’s also aware that it doesn’t make others around… Read More

Renewing Friendships

Academy of the Holy Cross Yearbook 1972 Making friends for the world to see Let the people know you got what you need            ~ Elton John Over the weekend, I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to catch up and renew friendships with two women who went to high school with me. Both women are incredibly talented and very smart: one is an internationally respected sculptor and the other is a retired teacher/photographer. They both look great and we easily fell back into conversation about our lives since high school graduation which was (unbelievably!) many decades ago. We lost… Read More
