Are you tricking or treating yourself?
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?

Change is in the Air!

Your Daily Appreciation List
Your Daily Appreciation List by Jackie Foskett, CH Ready to take the first step toward greater happiness? It starts with a daily appreciation list. It’s simple, really. Grab a notebook, or treat yourself to one of those “pretty” writing journals and dedicate it to this purpose. Set the mood for this daily practice with some “quiet time” (see my May-June 2007 issue for tips). Allow just 10 minutes–morning, evening or whenever is convenient. I like to do mine in the morning. It sets the tone for the day. It opens me up to allow more…
