I know it’s hard, but isn’t it nice to slow down? Why do we need vacations? Vacations are wonderful, but you can also take a mini-vacation every day in the comfort of your own home. I’m not talking about zoning out to Netflix, but actually take a break from all stimulation. Call it meditation,...

Habit changes do not need to be big, showy alterations to your daily life. They can be small, incremental changes that produce big changes over time. The key… consistency. How do you stay consistent? You make yourself accountable to a person or group of people. Changes happen faster in a group set...

Winter is coming. Do you get excited about scraping the ice off your windshield or walking through a bitter wind? My guess is no. Why not? Maybe it’s time to change your frame of mind? Yes, we all enjoy getting cozy by the fire, but would we enjoy it as much if we didn’t also endure the opposite...

Snacks, snacks, snacks. Snacks are everywhere. I feel like snacks were something special when I was a kid, not an assumption. Now, you’re the bad mom if you don’t always have snacks on hand. I guess I’m a bad mom. I’m the mean mom who makes my kids wait 30 minutes while I make a meal instead...

It’s sad for one thing. How do we mend the broken ties? Is that even realistic? I feel like our world is di...

This thought came to me as I was headed home from a play that got out at 10pm. That was the same time that the rodeo had also ended in our one horse town. The thing that jumped out at me at that hour was how many people were in line at Wendy’s. In the 20 years I’ve lived here, I’ve never seen ...

Do you feel exhausted just from making decisions all day? You are not alone. Decision fatigue is a real thing. I know that after a busy day of working, taking care of kids and making decisions all day, the last thing I want to think about it what’s for dinner. What if that wasn’t the case? What ...

 In the past few days, I have had three people on my mind.  These three people are in the prime of their lives, yet between the three of them, they have seven diagnosed diseases. You wouldn’t guess that by looking at them.  They all are active, have a normal body weight, a

Have you ever looked at your energy as a form of currency?  You may not be able to put your hands on your energy and give it a numerical value such as we do with money, but that doesn’t mean it’s worth less.  You may have excess energy or not enough.  We are all familiar w
