June 30, 2011

It’s summertime and the living may or may not be so easy. Certainly it is a time of year when things naturally seem to slow down and you get to catch up on those books you haven’t read, dip your toes in the water and breathe a bit more deeply. You may tend, like most [...]

Expecting?

February 28, 2011

Recently someone told me that they had just read an article that said that the main source of stress in today’s modern American woman was UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS!  And that got me thinking about a conversation I had recently with a friend who I hadn’t seen for several years.  Over a nice vanilla chai latte (hold [...]

January 11, 2011

January 6, 2011

It’s official! 2011 has arrived – ready or not! And for me that has meant my yearly ritual of cleaning out my files, getting all my tax receipts together and setting intentions for the year ahead.
