One of my favorite things to do on a relaxing day is go to a bookstore and peruse the newest fiction books, especially the thrillers and suspense novels. Typically I'll walk out with one new book, especially to support the local book retailers despite being able to buy online for cheaper. It would be a ...
Another year younger, another year wiser
When you're past your mid twenties, time just continues to fly faster and faster, with each passing year. It's both a blessing and a curse in my opinion. In your 30s, it's like lightning speed (at least it seems that way, so far). With my next birthday literally around the corner I can't but reflect ...
Is vacation a choice?
More and more often I see folks denying themselves their paid vacation time, especially the younger folks. And there are others who go on vacation but log on each day, and basically work, just from another location. Does this sound right? No, no, and no. Reasons I've heard and felt myself at times for not going ...
Too many decisions
Have your realized that the older (...wiser) we get, the more decisions we have to make on a regular basis. The more things that end up on our to do list. The busier our evenings become. And all of a sudden, it's Monday again. How did that happen? It was so much simpler when the decisions ...
Holding Space for Everyone
Written by contributing blogger, Daniela Forte. I have held space for everyone. Been doing it since I was a child. I didn’t realize this until recently when someone pointed it out. I thought, “Shit, I’ve let everyone in!” Were you a good person, you had a space, a bad person you had a space too. ...
Let yourself go…
Sometimes we need a breather. Even for 5 minutes to take a walk around the block. Sometimes we need a whole day or weekend. Whatever it may be, I've learned music helps me boost the emotions or mood I need or want just a little bit more. Next time you go to let go, try this ...
What makes you, you?
Each of us are unique...and it would be damn boring if we weren't. No one wants to be telling the same jokes or having the same level of intelligence...we would not get as far in life or in society if we were. Could you imagine not having Einstein? What makes you, you? I know I have some ...
It’s complicated…
Where do you start? Life is just plain complicated. We run around in circles sometimes, trying to get the result we want by doing the same thing over and over. Sounds a bit like insanity. We wish we could simplify our daily lives. Make our future clearer. Find a way to solve our issues with ...
Diet Starts on Monday
Written by Contributing Blogger, Sonia Sahota. “Diet starts on Monday..” How many of you have caught yourself saying these exact words? I’m sure many of you have your hands raised including myself. As summer is setting sail, we are all trying to be beach ready with clean eating during the week to fuel our bodies for ...
Spontaneity and Living
I've been known as someone who plans, and plans a lot. To do lists for work (weekly and daily), a google calendar which has my appointments and social plans, as well as daily personal to do's. Who plans reservations for friends, and the weekend when friends visit. My sister (insert rolling eyes here) once said, ...
