Find the right herd
Good friends are good self-care. That’s the thought I’m left with this morning as I watch a friend and colleague walk to his car after spending a few days here at our home. Or what we affectionately like to call “self-care rehab” . There are few things more nourishing to me than concentrated time with someone […]

Handling the Bully
Sometimes the voice of the inner bully is deafening. It screams so loud that I can’t hear myself think, let alone receive the creative inspiration I need when I’m writing. On those days I take my inner artist by the hand, walk her to our writing desk, and stand behind her as she gets started. […]

The world outside your window
Yesterday I saw a whitetail doe playing with a red fox in our backyard. I was folding laundry when, out of the corner of my eye, I caught something move outside the bedroom window. As I stepped closer to check it out, I found the doe leaping in place, and wondered what the heck was going […]

The only New Year’s resolution you need to make.
Every year on New Year’s Day I post the following message on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter: It’s a popular message and I believe it’s because on a fundamental level, we all know that loving ourselves – appreciating who we are and valuing our own company – is the key to everything. After all, we limit the good we […]

Sipping from the reservoir of experience
I sit here staring out my office window at the bare trees swaying in the cold wind that foretells winter. Rather than fret about the upcoming snow and ice and down-to-the-bone bitterness, I’m surprised at how peaceful I feel with the changing season. After all, I’ve never been a big fan of winter. But this […]
