It has now been a couple weeks since I read The Happiness Project for the first time. While I can recognize that I have, in […]
another goodbye.
Today’s goodbye is being said to soda. Diet coke and Fresca, I will miss you. I think I had the equivalent of FOUR (or was […]
goodbye gold stars
I’ve never been a fan of gold stars or constantly saying “great job!” to the kids. If you’ve read any Alfie Kohn, you’ll understand this. […]
“Happiness Project” setbacks
Setback is a bit premature, I suppose, as I haven’t even figured out how I want to approach this project other than to know that […]
being authentic – step 2
my first step in “being authentic” was to give up saying that I don’t have time. I’m not ready to declare success on this yet, […]
the grass is greener

weathering the weather
Today, despite being it being Thursday, I am surprisingly content and relaxed; the Thursday run-a-round isn’t bringing me down for a change. Perhaps this is […]

I’ve never been much of a procrastinator. I’ve generally had everything I needed to get done done and way before it needed to get done. […]
Thursday, Thursday
As I’ve mentioned about a million times to anyone who will listen, I hate Thursdays. I admit, it is partly a monster of my own […]
clean slate
As I remarked on facebook, I’ve decided that my midlife crisis has given me license to throw out all the “I’ll never”s and “I can’t”s […]
One Small Step
A bunch of my friends on Facebook have started to post simple thing they do each day that bring them an “incremental step” towards being […]

What’s the most important thing you’re putting off?
What’s the most important thing you’re putting off? And why haven’t you done it yet? What do you need to make it happen? I’m putting […]
