Sarah Ban Breathnach: Affirmations & Gratitude

I found myself nodding as I spoke with Sarah Ban Breathnach. As she told me about her “vision board” back in the early 1990’s, after Simple Abundance had been rejected over thirty times (or was it by thirty publishers). How she kept going, never giving up, making the hard choices. I felt this–with all of my […]

You Ain’t Broke

“It’s not about the WEIGHT. It’s about the weight of LIFE, and how you COPE with it.” – Something apparently I said

Sobriety at the Holidays

A great chat with Laura McKowen on the podcast today (episode coming in January!). Her new book, We are the Luckiest, is hitting the world January 7th. We will be doing an event together on April 16th in Boston. So stay tuned for that. But I thought I would share THIS POST from her. For […]

In the Rumbles of Uncertainty: Three Weeks to Everything (or Absolutely Nothing)

My book, The Year of No Nonsense, slams into publication in three weeks. It’s also hitting shelves in stores that I never imagined possible: amazing indy stores across the country, Target, Wal-Mart, Barnes & Noble. I can’t imagine what it will be like to be buying my carrots and hummus in Target, and rolling down […]

Empire of Dirt

What To Do When You Hate Someone So Much What happens when someone you hate is constantly on your mind? This is a question I found online recently, and I thought about how to answer this.

Upside Down

Someone asked me recently how much money I make blogging, podcasting… a weird question, right? I mean does anyone ask someone in a normal “job” how much money they make? But I am always glad to answer this question. Because the answer is ZERO. I don’t make a dime. I don’t sell ads. I don’t […]

Childhood – BLECK.

ACK! Like my psychotherapist and trauma expert @brittfrank reminds us, we don’t have to KNOW what happened to us, we just have to know that SOMETHING did. (And maybe you didn’t have any issues in childhood. Or maybe you DID, but have buried that shiz –and rightly so–deeper than the Titantic. Or maybe you don’t […]
