Happy New Year! I love how the change of one day suddenly gives us permission to begin anew, create new goals or just feel “now is the time”. Of course we can always create new goals and beginnings at any time during the year, but somehow when the clock strikes 12 midnight, and it’s a new year, it opens up a whole new slate of opportunities. I find it very freeing and refreshing. With all the excitement of the possibilities that we can create for our new year, it can often be too easy to…
Happy Holidays to you and your family! My husband and I just had a wonderful spontaneous holiday open house party this past Sunday. It was something we decided to do just a few days before the event. We knew not everyone would be available on such short notice, but it felt good to be able to open up and share the holiday spirit with some friends and neighbors who were able to attend. That to me is the Spirit of the Season…to gather with people and share stories, food and some wine. My house…
Positive Affirmations to De-Stress & Enjoy Your Holidays: I am now choosing what I want to do for the holidays. As I plan for my holidays, I create more ease in my life.

I can enjoy small tastes of especially rich food. When I’m eating, I am focused on feeling satisfied, instead…
Welcome to November! Ahh! It’s that time of the year now when things really start moving quickly, if they weren’t already! Clocks were just turned back on Sunday and it’s getting darker earlier and earlier as we get closer to the winter solstice.

This is a time, more than ever, when it is so…

Trick or Treat? Happy Halloween! Remember how fun it was “once upon a time” to get all dressed up as some character, ring doorbells and sing “Trick or Treat”? I always loved dressing up, getting bags of candy, smiles from the neighbors and just having a good time. Where is that little kid now? Does she or he still get to have time to come out and play? Or, is there too much to do and no time for much fun anymore? Unfortunately, that is what I hear so often from my…
