In a perfect world we would have only the “A” players of family in for the holidays and only hold or attend the “A” meetings that we scheduled or deemed important. So many articles on the lack of holiday gatherings and the abundance of video gatherings this year got me to thinking. All of this can be just too much. I reminisce of just a year ago when the articles were full of rantings about Read More

Small Changes for Maximum Results
Where are you today and where do you see yourself in the future? If you start with one small change to redirect your course you will get there! It’s called a lifestyle change and it works when you take it one day at a time so that you create a new “habit”. If you would like to lose weight to stun your old classmates at the reunion, look fab in your swimsuit or just have Read More
Time Management and the Holidays
Just say no, seems easy enough doesn’t it. Here we are with a few weeks left in 2018 and the meetings, parties, lunch and dinner invitations keep coming. Are you being asked to attend more events and outings then you have time for? How are you going to get it all done at this time of year? Tis the season but with so many events and so little time how will you satisfy EVERYONE. You start Read More
Chocolate Edges and Mindful Decisions
The other day I found myself backtracking into bad habits. Yes, I was innocently doing some catch up binging on a favorite TV show with a friend when before I knew it, my hand was reaching for the chocolate covered caramels. We made good dinner choices, salad with a touch of light dressing, a few pieces of sushi and ok, yes a glass of nice wine (good for the heart). Anyway, as we finished our Read More
One Mindful, Manageable Change at a Time
One mindful, manageable change at a time for success. Yes, one change at a time so you can make it a healthy habitl. Before moving to another mindful change take the time to celebrate and recognize the success you achieved. After all you spend so much time wishing you could live a healthier lifestyle, feel better today then you did yesterday that when you achieve you should CELEBRATE the achievement. You want to leave an Read More
Choose Today, One Small Change at a Time
Happy belated Easter treat, at least that is what I thought when I went to open up that special Cadbury Egg I had such great memories of. Yes I had them in the past (way in the past) and yes I saw them on TV commercials prior to the official Easter holiday (several months prior) and yes I had waited until April 15 to let myself have this special treat. You see I had been Read More

Take a walk toward emotional wellness and grab a pen and paper, doesn’t have to be anything fancy, and begin writing a note to someone special to you. This is the next best thing to being there with your special friend or family member by putting your thoughts in writing and giving them a gift to read over and over Read More
Connect and Be Present
I was on a short vacation with my husband and as we were walking along the beach boulevard I noticed a man pushing a young one in a stroller. As we approached I was thinking how wonderful he was taking one on one time to connect with this child and create some memories or perhaps teach this little one about nature. The closer we got I could see that the man was pushing the stroller Read More
Well Being Is Heart and Soul-Make Time
I was watching the Grammy’s tonight and as with most shows they close by showing snippets of the lives of those we lost this past year. It always breaks my heart as I think of the impact they made when they were with us regardless of their age at passing and how we take things for granted, expect someone to always be there. I love the music these people created even thought I didn’t know Read More
