I quit my job this week which is one of the best decisions I have made in a long time- long overdue as well since I pretty much knew three months into this job that it was not a fit. After over 30 years into this game of work and careers, I have clarity as… Continue reading Breaking Work Ties (and it feels so good!)

If I Had One Word…
If I had one word to describe how it felt last night to be tucked under his arm while sharing stories, drinking beers and watching the sky turn from dusky blue to darkness, I would say kismet. If I had one word to share what it means to have all three of my kids surrounding… Continue reading If I Had One Word…
Hygge Me
So I was perusing Pinterest, looking for a crock pot lemon chicken recipe that I swore I pinned but apparently didn’t and I come across an image on my feed which drew me in. It was this beautiful, warm bedroom, decorated in muted neutral tones of gray and beige. The bedcover looked soft. The lighting… Continue reading Hygge Me
My Mountain Part 2
The other day, four girlfriends and I took to the trail up to the top of my mountain. I have reached the summit on two other occasions. The last time was 5 years ago. The trail is more than a leisurely hike. It is rated “moderate” however it takes time and patience to scale up… Continue reading My Mountain Part 2
Friendship Foursomes
There are so many types of friendships. Some are reliant on the past while some are built on the future. Some friendships challenge us to be better people and some drag us through the mud, making us wonder time and time again why we hang around. Some friendships are transitory and others last a lifetime… Continue reading Friendship Foursomes

Some days it is easy to identify why you are happy. Some days you have to stretch your mind to find the happiness and other days you are happy just because. Today was a “just because” happy day for me. Buddhism calls this a mind of virtue and indeed we can have a virtuous mind even when… Continue reading The Cause for Happy
Gray Days
It’s been raining for days. I need some sunshine to clear away the clouds in my mind which has been a murky mess since the first storm rolled in this week. The irony of it all. A mind of gray can be poison to creativity. It can turn the most colorful into drab; robbing the… Continue reading Gray Days
Nighttime Bedfellows
2:15 It is my witching hour. I don’t even have to look at the clock anymore. I know what time it is. Every night, night after night. The result of a heavy mind. Lately, words like “uncertainty” and “patience” have been part of my daily vocabulary- lots of change pending for me and for my… Continue reading Nighttime Bedfellows
One Decision Away
For me, change is exhilarating. It’s my fuel. My drug of choice. When I was younger, getting my fix was simple. Change jobs, change gyms, change apartments, change boyfriends. I wouldn’t say I was flighty or flaky. I just liked what change gave me- a fresh perspective, an alternative view, all senses working on overload,… Continue reading One Decision Away
Beautiful Truth
On the way to work today, I listened to a TED Talk by Julian Treasure. He spoke not about the importance of content in communication, but about the foundation from which to build your content. Since I am in the profession of sales, I found it particularly interesting as one of the biggest challenges in… Continue reading Beautiful Truth
