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 [...]

Break out the Sandals!

February 18, 2011

You are probably wondering about the heading of this particular post on this Full Moon day in the brrrr of February. Well, I couldn’t help it. It is an unusual day, sunny and 61 degrees, and as I sit here at my computer watching the ice on my deck slowly melt and disappear, the birds are signing, the [...]

Tweet Nanny Needed – Inquire Within

January 25, 2011

Remember the days when you had to mail out invitations and write letters to far away family if you wanted them to know what was going on in your life? I was never the best at all that social correspondence so it should come as no surprise that I am also not very on top [...]

Table For One

January 11, 2011

If, like me, you often eat alone then you probably know the lure of the TV table, the couch, the “standing-at-the-sink-while-eating” pose and all the other ways someone who lives alone eats her meals. Rarely do I set the table and sit myself down for a proper meal; but, give me just one other person, [...]

Getting Off Overwhelm and Back on Track!

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. Now it’s important to note that I really HATE filing and paperwork. So this annual binge of paper, files [...]

Three Choices, Three Actions!

December 22, 2010

Last year I decided to follow the advice of a friend and not do resolutions. Instead I just focused in on one word for the year (my word was SIMPLIFY) and that decision allowed me to continue to reflect on ways I could simplify my life, my work, my health routines throughout the year. It [...]

Snow White Envy

November 30, 2010

Remember the fairy tale where the evil sorceress puts Snow White into a deep sleep out of which she can only be awakened with her true love’s kiss? If only! And I do mean the deep sleep part not the fairy tale prince. Am I the only woman who fantasizes about being with a man [...]

When the Universe Taps you on the Shoulder!

November 15, 2010

As some of you who read my blog may know, I moved in mid-September to a lovely little apartment with a big redwood deck overlooking a flowing brook. It’s a serene spot in which I can focus on my writing, see clients and watch the birds at the bird feeder. Like all moves in life, [...]

October 26, 2010

I’ve been doing a lot of empowerment circles these days while promoting my book, Harriet Takes the Wheel, and finding there are three keys that most people miss when they think about empowerment in their lives. So, if you are wanting to empower yourself in your relationships, your work, your health and even in your [...]

Is your new phone way SMARTER than you are?

September 30, 2010

It’s finally happened. I have been brought low by technology – “SMART” technology in fact. There should be a test – some sort of qualification to make sure you are as SMART as the latest SMART device you purchase. It all began innocently enough in early September when I was getting ready to move and [...]
