I’ve been grieving. My marriage of more than 15 years is over. I am learning what it is to fall apart and face a blank slate with choices and fears and dreams. It is miserable and magical. (credit T Swizzle ;)) And I’m doing it with my kids. So many lessons are being learned, about… Continue reading Day After Year

RULES SCHMULES!!
I am so sick of all the ‘rules’ that we think we must live by. Eat this. Don’t eat that. Do this to be happy. You must be thin. You must be popular. You must be smart, sexy, important, wealthy, NORMAL, happy, strong, successful, understanding, nice to others, at peace, on time, clean, polite, and… Continue reading RULES SCHMULES!!
5 Tips On Getting The Best Education For Your Kids
Let me warn you! My ideas about school and education are anything but conventional… How are your kids doing in school? Do they excel in their studies?

Goodbye 2012! Hello 2013 :)

I have always held a belief that New Year’s Resolutions were a way to set ourselves up for failure. I hadn’t heard stories of people telling… Continue reading Goodbye 2012! Hello 2013 🙂

It was the most beautiful place! I wanted to sit on the edge of the path and stay there all day. As I… Continue reading O Graceful Teachers

However, depending on the number of bodies in the class, and the time of day, the room can even be hotter. Bikram Yoga is one of… Continue reading Are You In The Moment?
What Is Wrong With Me?
This same question has popped up in more than one of my client sessions recently. “What is wrong with me?” Usually this is asked in the context of “I am not doing as much as the other guy” or “Why can’t I get it all done?” I mean why is it that I see women… Continue reading What Is Wrong With Me?

Have you ever sat still by yourself and done nothing? I mean nothing. No TV, no reading, no talking, no sleeping, no crossword puzzles, really, nothing? If you have, then you know that place where time is irrelevant. Maybe you have heard a quiet voice whisper to you in that place. Is it God? … Continue reading Sit Still Much?
