Somewhat random thoughts - but, come on the journey.... Check out my blog post https://wix.to/rahxYDi

Age is a funny thing. Sometimes I think that I don’t feel much different than I did in my twenties. But, then I think about all the things I’ve done in my life, and I wonder, how the heck I got here. Different parts of my life feel like different chapters in a book – and sometimes they feel li...

Slightly out of my norm - but here is the latest. https://wix.to/pI0lrdI

I am texting with a friend. We used to live together in Boston many moons ago. She is one of my closest friends. Something she says reminds me of our former neighbor. I haven’t spoken to him in a long time. On a whim, I google his name and I find his obituary. Ours was a funny friendship. I was in...

Trying something new can be pretty challenging. Doing things differently is hard. Check out the new blogpost... https://wix.to/boicpeZ

I am sitting in frustration. Nothing is simple. I don’t get it. Maybe I’m too old to learn this. Maybe I can’t. Maybe I’m incapable. They say that trying new things is important for your brain. Our brain is a muscle. It’s important to stretch once in a while. I am stretching. I’m trying ...

Get outside! See what you see. Get outside of yourself. Check out my blog post https://wix.to/68mOMaA

I’m at a remote location in the middle of the pacific – on a tiny skiff. Our guide, Sebastien, is telling us the history of the island San Benedicto. It’s incredible. Built from volcanic ash and earth mixed over time. We had been at Punta Tosca the day before, and had a similar tour. I’m awe...

Here is the latest on simplicity and forgiveness. https://wix.to/YGWm9HC

I was down visiting my dad today. It was such a beautiful day, I decided to spend more time than I had planned – missing my evening appointment. I’m sure my client will forgive me – and it’s not every day I get to spend time with my dad. Plus – who knows how long these visits will continue...

Have you thought about wellness today? https://wix.to/5n0j3Jp

I was talking with a friend yesterday. He has me working on a program for his company, and I’m pretty excited about that – but, exploration of that is for another day. BUT, he said something which got me thinking about wellness. Is wellness a privileged thing? He reminded me about a mindset that...

The latest on the journey. https://wix.to/Uu424w8

Have you ever noticed that sometimes you have to get away to think clearly about something? It’s odd. I’ve been struggling with something. Thinking about it and turning it over and over in my head. Then, I was on a plane -and the answer appeared. It was SO obvious, but I had been missing it. So,...

Check out my blog post - life advice to my niece who is turning 18. What would you add? https://wix.to/3WjyQfW

My niece is about to turn eighteen and is in the process of making a decision about where she is going to college. She did not get into all the schools she applied to and is dealing with that disappointment. She is very stressed about not going to the right place. I was visiting with her and my sist...

New post on social wellness... https://wix.to/gkmlIHM

Social wellness has been on my mind. It’s a challenging subject for me. I won’t lie. I find that a little surprising to write. I don’t think I’ve ever really thought about it quite this way. If you’ve known me for any period of time, you may find that a little surprising. But, I am very mu...

New post, if you're interested. https://wix.to/ZR5GLEr

Last week, a friend posted a meme that said, “New approach to self care - start talking to myself the way I talk to my dog...” And – why do we talk to dogs (and cats) the way we do? Because they respond! Don’t believe me? Just look at these dogs who are told they are a “good boy.” https:...

Come check out my new blogpost where I explore relationships: https://wix.to/YOFi43y

I had a lovely lunch today with some friends. I was walking home from it and thinking about how lucky I am with relationships. I have some really amazing friends. Why? I’m not quite sure. Luck? Maybe. I like to think I’m a pretty good friend to have – but, I’m not always. Don’t get me wron...
