Step away from the keyboard!
Last week my husband Michael saved me. He happened to walk by my office while I was pounding away on my laptop, responding to an email from someone who pushed my buttons. “What are you doing?” he asked in a casual tone. I’m writing back to someone to set him straight, I replied. “Are you […]

A miracle story

How to get a masters in the school of life
This weekend I’m hosting my spring “Self Care by the Sea” retreat and I thought I’d share a commencement address I delivered several years ago in honor of graduation time here in the states.

A bracelet, a vacation, and a lesson from beyond
Last week, while packing for a family vacation, I decided to take a favorite pearl bracelet – a gift left to me by my friend Lucy more than twenty-five years ago. This bracelet is one of the few meaningful keepsakes I wear on special occasions and I wanted to have it with me when I […]

How I got out of jail.
This morning I woke from an insightful dream. I was driving somewhere in the country through a beautiful pastoral setting filled with green fields, sheep grazing in the distance, and birds sailing overhead. As I gazed out the window at the peaceful scene, I suddenly heard a voice telling me how to drive. “Keep your […]

Finding hope when you least expect it
This week I’m sharing a replay of my favorite spring story. Enjoy! ~*~ Finding Hope When You Least Expect It ~*~ A month ago, Michael and I had thirty trees planted in our yard and as soon as they were in the ground, birds began to build nests. I was so excited to find a […]

One work/life hack that changed everything
Two months ago my friend Beth and I started working at a café together one day a week. We bring our laptops and our to-do lists and we spend a few hours doing all kinds of tasks – responding to emails and texts, working on writing projects, doing research, etc. Now and then we stop […]

Who haven’t you been yet?
New York City in the dead of winter turns out to be a fun place to visit! The crowds are more manageable, the hotels offer upgrades, and the shows on Broadway seem more accessible and spacious. As someone who tends to be a homebody during winter, I’m happy to be changing things up at midlife. […]

Making new neural pathways at midlife
I’m heading to New York this week to do a segment on NBC’s Today Show (Thursday, the 28th in the 10 o’clock hour). I’ll be talking about the gifts and challenges of midlife and to prepare, I asked my social media community to tell me about the joys, frustrations, and desires they experience at midlife. One result, in particular, […]
