Self-Care in the Middle of the Mess

Riding the Rollercoaster of Transformation This time of year always seems to bring transitions, but this season feels especially full. Downstairs, our basement is being renovated. Yup. Men are coming in and out, machines whirring, bangs echoing up the stairs. The cats are definitely irritated. Well, at least Jack is. Maeve is either playing or […]

Facing Fear — The Real Kind This past weekend, I took 2 of my grandchildren, Nightingale and Adalie, to my mom’s senior community at Elim Park for a costume parade and trick-or-treating. We had a lot of fun. The halls were filled with the residents’ great-grandchildren and the staff’s kids, in costume with their candy […]

Sacred Space, Clear Mind: A Lesson from Moving

Creating Sacred Space for Mental Health It’s been three weeks since Paul and I moved into our new condo, and little by small, it’s starting to feel like ours. It’s weird, but those first two weeks felt more like a vacation—like we were staying in someone else’s home. Everything felt unfamiliar. Our routines felt off. And […]

Slowing Down and Being Happy

I hadn’t planned to be slowing down at this point in my life but I’m loving it so much that I thought I would share. Since I went on that silent retreat 3 weeks ago I’ve been so incredibly relaxed. Almost too relaxed according to my mind. But I don’t much listen to that inner chatter anymore. […]

My Silent Retreat Experience

Meditation is the Way On the way up to the retreat center 2 weeks ago, I turned off my radio for the last half hour of the journey. I felt jumpy. All the noises of the car and the outside world that I don’t normally hear were jarring and strange. Maybe it was my nerves too. I […]

Squeeze out your sponge daily

EQ at Work One of the first leadership conferences I organized at work, was in 2001, and we had a full day booked with 5 speakers. The audience was about 500 corporate leaders across Technology, Legal, Finance & Human Resources departments. I remember the keynote speaker was talking about emotional resilience and said something like this: Think […]

What does it mean to surrender?

What does it mean to surrender? On Monday this week, Paul had surgery on his left hand. He had these cord like tendons pulling his pinky fingers on both hands in a downward motion. So the pinky couldn’t be stretched up straight anymore. It’s call Dupuytrens Disease and it’s hereditary. He got the right hand […]

What are your intentions?

What are your intentions? I got us 7 new puzzles for Christmas and we received a couple more from loved ones. Before Christmas, I borrowed 3 or 4 puzzles from a friend. Paul recently took an inventory and announced we have about 75 or more stored now, in the attic. Working on puzzles gives me […]

It’s that time of year . . .

It’s Self-Forgiveness Time Every year it’s important for me to take an inventory of what I’ve achieved and feel good about in regard to my accomplishments. But I also take stock of what goals I didn’t reach or what mistakes I may have made. I don’t like that part. So this year is no different. […]

Never give up

Managing stress in challenging times “Wisdom is understanding that you don’t have to hold your happiness for ransom until some future time when all your problems are solved. When your “to-do list” is finally empty. When your desires are fulfilled and your health is perfect. When all the news is good. Whatever your goals in […]
