Spring Cleaning
We have all heard about “spring cleaning” – our homes; our yards etc. The process of refreshing one’s home décor; clothes; gardens and getting rid of old things and welcoming new is typical of the change of season from winter to spring. I am challenging myself this year to “spring clean” professionally. I am realigning… Continue reading Spring Cleaning
Spring Blog
Spring. A season of new beginnings and living in gratitude. As we enter the season of spring (finally for those of us in New England!) I find myself thinking back over the past two seasons (winter and fall) and understanding more the journey of life I have travelled. Today I am grateful....for so many things:… Continue reading Spring Blog
My Fears
It’s not the fear of the firsts anymore…..it’s the what-if’s. The what-if’s have made the journey of life….a day; a week; a trip; an event – terrifying. Because as time moves on, and the fog lifts ever so slightly and clarity enters my life, these are the things that haunt me now. And, I still… Continue reading My Fears
#5. Start Each Day with Goals
Goal setting is a practice. Starting each day with a goal (or goals) is a good place to begin. I have been trying to work on setting a goal each day in four areas – a goal for my mind; a goal for my soul; a goal for my physical being; and a goal for… Continue reading #5. Start Each Day with Goals

#3. Create Good Habits
Creating good habits...so much easier to say than to do, but it certainly depends on one’s definition of good habits. From last week’s blog I would share that for me a priority good habit is being kind to myself. Taking it easy and letting go of angst, anger, and drama. Balancing my time and being… Continue reading #3. Create Good Habits
#2. Let Kindness Rule
Being kind is an important way of bringing meaning to our lives and the lives of others. Being kind allows us to communicate better, be more compassionate, and also be a positive force in people's lives. Kindness has its source of truth within each of us. Some people are innately kind and yet it's something… Continue reading #2. Let Kindness Rule
#1. Guard Your Time
Sounds easy enough right? How many of us overcommit? Say yes to things when we want really want to say no? Feel pressure to join a board? Attend an event? Volunteer? Meet for lunch? Squeeze in one more meeting? One more conference call? Guard your time - what a concept. Time is so precious and… Continue reading #1. Guard Your Time
