Another note-worthy book on the bedside pile that I got to finish last week was Rework by Jason Fried and David Hansson. It’s a collection of essays around business and productivity.
Â
The page I dog-eared included this quote:Â
Â
“When you are high on inspiration, you can get two weeks of ...
Â
My body is doing a great job of fighting off a cold.Â
Â
I’ve helped by taking it very easy this week.Â
Â
That meant one thing—time to devote to finishing the books piled up on my bedside table.
Â
Being in the middle of several books at once is relatively new for me. I used to be of the m...
Â
This week marks a milestone.Â
Â
It’s the first time, since we moved over 2 years ago, that I parked my car in the garage.Â
Â
Yay!
Â
I (finally) spent the long weekend opening, moving, tossing, recycling, donating, organizing and placing all the things that have been living in the boxes in...
Â
If someone asked me to name what I teach in one word, the answer might surprise you.
Â
It’s not “Maintenance” or “Prevention” or even “Weight Loss” (ok, that’s two words).Â
Â
What I ultimately teach is Compassion.Â
Â
Self-compassion, more specifically.Â
Â
In the almost 2 decades I’ve be...

Â
January 1st can be a great time for reflection and goal setting.Â
Â
Really anytime can be.Â
Â
Birthdays are a good one. Beginning of any month. The start of a season. Monday.
Â
No matter the day, the feeling is the same—renewal and hope.
Â
I love those feelings. Clean slate. The wh...
Â
Is it just me, or is this year’s Holiday Season particularly egregious when it comes to the amount of refined sugary treats around?
Â
I know Holiday time is bound to have sweets, but really . . .
Â
Here’s what I’ve been reminded about concerning the white, processed, powdery substance:

...Â
This time of year always reminds me of a story:
Â
There was a wise, kind King, beloved by his subjects, who was about to retire.
Â
(OK, so when I first heard this in the late 1970’s, the King wanted to marry off his daughter to the suitor of his choice. I’ve tweaked the story a bit to keep ...
Â
It’s gift-giving season. And I have a confession to make.
Â
I’m a terrible gift giver.Â
Â
I was born this way.
Â
I’m just not the best shopper. If it can’t be found on Amazon, I’m not finding it.Â
Â
I’m ecstatic when someone tells me what they want. I’m great at getting things done. ...
Â
How did your Thanksgiving go?Â
Â
I know for many of you, planning worked—congratulations! You discovered that it’s possible to have a meaningful, memorable time without regretting food choices.Â
Â
Nice job.
Â
For the rest of us—we can love ourselves anyway and learn from the things we co...
Â
Just a quickie this Thanksgiving to say I am grateful for you, your friendship and following.
May you and your whole family enjoy health, happiness and peace this season and always.
And laughter too . . .
Â
(couldn't find the clever creator's name--thank you, Funny!)
Â
I leave you with ...
Â
. . . many things—family, warmth, love, friends, gratitude, service and food.
Â
But it’s just one meal.Â
Â
One meal.
Â
Lots can happen in that one meal, but if it stops there—no major problem.
Â
The bigger issue is the long weekend associated with Thanksgiving and the potential for a sl...
