My daughter and I were talking about my going to biofeedback appointments. My daughter drove me to some of the appointments and attended them with me. I have decided to hold off on the appointments for awhile. So, I have put them on hold. (Biofeedback can help with migraine headaches.) My daughter confirmed a thought [...]

So–what about now?  Do you ever spend a few moments in self-evaluation?  Where are you now?  Are you where you want to be?  If you are, congratulations!!!!  If not, what can you do to empower yourself to be where you want to be? I have been thinking a bunch about inter-generational connections lately.  We are [...]

In the 1970s, a movie came out called Lost Horizon. Never heard of it? You’re in good company; it flopped in the box office, and was never released on VHS or DVD. (Fun fact: Burt Bacharach and Hal David did the music.) I know the movie because my mother knew the music, and I learned [...]

I once heard a coach give a closing speech at practice which has been among the most inspiring things I have reflected on lately. He told every one of his players, the ones who had been drug through 2 a days, the ones who had run and kicked and tackled and kept working through heat [...]

School is back in session. The summer seemed to pass so quickly. So many things were left undone or unfinished. So many people I wanted to visit; so many lists of tasks to complete. Now, we are back in the middle of school and schedules and extra activities. I have figured out that I have [...]

During our lives, we go through many changes. As a child, we grow, go to school and learn many of the important lessons of life, such as gratitude, accepting our differences and how to love one another. As an adult, we also go through growth, schooling (although not always in a formal setting) and learning [...]

We condition our hair in preparation for styling; we condition our bodies for races. Do we condition our personalities for motherhood? In preparation for times when I would need to take care of my children on a more full-time basis (like when they were newborns or now like during the summer or a road trip), [...]

Our guest blog today is by Abby. Abby volunteers in her community and is a mother and grandmother. She is a great friend and prolific writer. Today, she shares her insights about a child growing up and going to college. Saying goodbye is often difficult. I was talking with my dear friend tonight about our [...]

Growing up, I’ve lived in a very, very hot and humid place. I also place a great deal of importance on my physical appearance. So, often, I will wake up in the morning and work very hard on my hairstyle, in order to achieve the ever-desirable smooth, sleek, brunette bombshell look. Since I’ve somehow managed [...]
