Starting your day right

September 2nd, 2010 · No Comments · happiness, inspiration, mindfulness, mindset, self care, spirituality

A beautiful sun rises over the running track early in the morning. I took this photo in early summer. Now that we’re turning toward autumn, the sun is rising around the same time as when I snapped this. I like running in the morning, but I know many people who can’t fathom working out so [...]

Are your sleep habits healthy or harmful?

August 30th, 2010 · 2 Comments · news, self care

Are your sleep habits hurting your health? And how much sleep do you really need to be healthy? When I was a child, I was legendary for not wanting to go to sleep. I am pretty sure that I drove my parents to the brink of insanity. As a teenager, I still liked staying up [...]

How plants can heal you

July 7th, 2010 · No Comments · cleanse, environment, news, self care

I’ve been on a healing journey over the past two weeks. The funny thing is that I didn’t realize that was what I was going on when I started out. It’s also part of why I have inadvertently been mostly offline for the past two weeks. Let me explain… The weekend before our Independence Day [...]

Be perfectly imperfect

May 14th, 2010 · No Comments · diet, happiness, inspiration, self care

I always wanted to do everything perfectly when I was a kid. I studied so that I would excel at school and practiced piano every day. I pushed myself hard and almost always achieved whatever I set out to accomplish. But I have news for you: perfection is a myth. Everyone who works with me [...]

Out with the old

May 6th, 2010 · 1 Comment · cleanse, diet, environment, inspiration, mindset, self care

Recently I realized that my desk files needed a good purging, so I got a cross-cut shredder to get rid of those papers that I didn’t want and couldn’t just throw out. I spent a couple of hours happily shredding documents and recycling the bits that were taking up so much precious space in our [...]

Taking some time to breathe

March 26th, 2010 · 1 Comment · inspiration, self care

I’ve been busy. And tired. And working too much. And, ok, I’ll just say it – I’ve had a little bit of writer’s block. I have lots of ideas, but haven’t been able to get myself to write them down. Or I’ve been too much of a perfectionist to write lately. Because I haven’t been [...]

Get into the rhythm of winter

December 22nd, 2009 · No Comments · career, fun, happiness, inspiration, self care

Yesterday was the Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year in the northern hemisphere. The Solstice marks the start of the winter season. It’s time to get cozy and rest. Many animals are going into hibernation during this time of year. Us crazy humans, though, are running around, going to holiday parties, staying up [...]

Get moving

December 10th, 2009 · No Comments · exercise, fun, inspiration, self care

Feeling a little tired and sluggish but don’t want to do your usual workout? Doing any sort of movement can help. Even if you’re just taking a walk, cleaning the house or stretching, it’s better than if you just sit there feeling gross. Or do something totally out of your ordinary routine. Last night I [...]
