Ladies, have you thought about leaving a legacy for your children? May I suggest a journal that you’ve hand written. I came across this idea a few years ago and I’ve been recording things about my life for awhile now. I think it’ll be treasured by my girls when I gift it to them. Why [...]
Be Beautiful

I’ve been thinking about what happens when a woman develops unhealthy narcissism. I’m sure you’ve seen this, just as I have. As women, if we give ourselves permission to be so self absorbed, we can become out of control and unattractive. To avoid this personality trait, I’m reminded that it’s important to look outside of [...]

When my friend Carolyn greets me, she always looks intently into my eyes and usually touches me on my arm. Her gaze is never broken by a noise or a passerby. It is like shes connected with my soul. At times, when I have walked with Carolyn, I’ve noticed that she’s really aware of her [...]

I was recently reminded of how important it is for me the pay attention to the urgent and non urgent activities I participate in.

This morning, I headed out to walk Beni, my daughter Erin’s dog. It was a crisp snowy morning for the third day of Spring. I was content listening to inspirational music on my MP3 and I was nice and warm in my parka. As I walked, a car approached from behind, hugging the curb and [...]
