How Gratitude Puts Life in Perspective
Snow day in St. Louis yesterday = a practice in gratitude. I will confess that gratitude was not my first instinct upon hearing the news. No, Step One was resisting the urge to scream into my pillow. Step Two was to post something kinda snotty in a FB group for fellow…

You So Got This
I was working earlier on a big project, one that’s taking me out of my comfort zone. The deadline is charging fast and I’m freaking out more than a little. Sitting at my desk, I noticed that my left leg was bouncing like one of those old-school paddle board balls…

Courage or the Comfort Zone – What’ll It Be?
I bought a computer yesterday. Brand spankin’ new, for the first time ever, because I’d always had either a work-issued model or a hand-me-down. (Also, because I’m a notorious tightwad, not to mention a Luddite.) I had a long debate with the voices in my head before deciding what to…

What’s Your Amazing Talent?
Just wrapped up a week of housesitting for a friend while he took his family to Disney World. He thought I was doing him a favor by staying there, when the truth was that I got five nights alone in a Tempur-Pedic bed – not to mention the world’s largest…

Leaping Into Your New Reality
I don’t know when this happened, but here it is Oct. 18. Last time I checked, it was July… and, the time before that, January. Time feels like it’s moving at an unfathomable speed; weeks seem to flutter by before I’ve even had the chance to greet them. I used…
