creative sharings for new perspectives
When you are a kid, where do you learn about life? Your childhood BFF (coined in 5th grade by girls at sleepovers world-wide: best friend forever), of course! The one you try things with, lay by the pool with for hours and think has all the answers. In my case, Carolyn (aka Lynnie) did. I… Continue reading To Good Friends and Good Health
"Be of Ease" is the quote my mom uses when signing off her emails. With the Holidays upon us, we hear a lot about giving gifts. While I want for little in the “Stuff” department, there is something I pray to receive. Perspective. For me, Perspective is the greatest gift. It’s free. I can give… Continue reading Be of Ease
Do you ever step out of the shower and catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror? What’s the first thought that goes through your mind? Gotta confess, mine isn’t pretty. When I was little, I was "chubby". Sometimes, I still look in the mirror and see that little girl. Other times, I notice my… Continue reading MindFULL Selfies and Mannequins
If you look closely at my picture, you’ll see it’s of a bundt cake. I made it yesterday to celebrate the safe return of my friend’s son. He and four friends were camping in the mountains of Utah last weekend, when weather blew in and they found themselves stranded. Long story short, parents alerted the… Continue reading Great-FULL
They say that our darkest hours are our hardest. But, I say, it depends on the dark. Every so often, I duck out of life and take myself to the movies. I love to sit in the dark, turn off the real world and enter the one on the screen. “Don’t you feel guilty?” asked… Continue reading LIghts, Camera, Action
Last week, as I was walking my laps around the park, I was talking on the phone with my wonderful stepsister, Lisa. The reception was sketchy, so you can imagine my surprise when all I heard was “Get your &^%$ together!” “What?” I cringed back. “It’s the name of a web-site geared toward Life and… Continue reading Get Your *&^% Together
My friend, Joy, sent this to me last week. I thought for this MindFULL Monday, I'd share it with you, since this past weekend I posted a bonus blog on repainting my bathroom and all the thoughts it brought up. Love another way to look at decorating, not just our homes, but ourselves! Each day… Continue reading Another MindFull Perspective
Many years ago when we lived in Boston, I had a fabulous pair of black snakeskin Kenneth Cole sandals. I loved them. I bought them for a great price and wore them everywhere. However, after several wearings, I was dismayed to notice how they started to hurt my feet. I ignored the rubbing along the… Continue reading A MindFULL Fit
Ya know the old adage, "Hear it three times, pay attention?" Well, last week, three different encounters reminded me of an old ritual I learned years ago: If you have a worry to let go of, dream to manifest or intention to hold, simply write it on a piece of paper and place it in… Continue reading Thinking Inside The Box
I know I have been writing a lot about clothes lately. I don’t normally pay this much Mind to them, but as I clean out my closet and switch seasons, I am becoming more MindFULL of what I buy and how it fits. The bummer is that I am not a great shopper. Luckily, two… Continue reading MindFULL Fashionistas
