The Happiness & Continuous Learning Connection
I recently was reading an article about values, what they are, how we acquire them and how they may change over time, too. (Stay tuned for this great topic in a future article.) It got me thinking what my values are. It’s not always an easy assessment, but when we look at what’s important to us, where we put our priorities, we can start to discern what those values are. I realized one of my values is personal growth and learning. From the time I was a teenager, I was curious about our connection to…
A Simple Exercise for Reflection and Renewal
Here’s a simple exercise you can do for yourself to bring more expansion, joy and love into your heart. Take 10 minutes-longer if you choose. Ask yourself: What am I most grateful for the year behind me? Write down whatever pops into your mind. I highly suggest you write it down-it will imprint onto your subconscious mind at a deeper level. Now, ask: What am I most grateful for about myself? Again, write it down. Could be your kindness you expressed to someone…or just in general…how you are a kind person. Could be your wisdom,…
It’s That Time of the Year Again to Reflect & Renew
I hope your holidays were a time that was meaningful to you. Even though we may not all celebrate the same holidays or find them challenging for a variety of reasons, they do mark a time when we’re conscious that it is the last month of the year.

A few weeks ago, when I attended a Tapping Solution event on “Reflect, Learn & Renew: Closing the Year with Insight and Growth” with Jessica…
Embracing a Fresh Start this Fall
In a previous blogpost, I wrote how I was finding myself out of balance even though I was suppose to be in summertime mode. By the way, I did take my own recommendations on Life Balance, (smiles), and did find more balance as summer moved along. I hope the articles on Life Balance supported you in finding more balance as well. It’s time for a Refresh! Well, here we are now moving right along into Fall. Even though Fall doesn’t officially begin until September 22nd, it’s common in the US to get into the…
7 Ways to Carve Out Relaxation Time
National Relaxation Day is a wonderful opportunity to unwind and take a break from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Here are 7 ways or things you can play around with to take a nice relaxing time today…and anytime! Spa Day at Home: Why not create a spa-like atmosphere at home where you can relax easily and comfortably?

It’s National Relaxation Day 2023!
Happy National Relaxation Day! Over the last few blogposts, the theme has been all about Life Balance. National Relaxation Day is the perfect opportunity to add more balance in your life if you typically find it hard to make relaxation a priority in your life. Of course, just one day out of a year of relaxation time doesn’t make for a balanced life, but it can shine the light on ways you can add more “down time” to your schedule on a regular basis. Personally, I need this day, as I’ve been in the midst…
