So let’s just have a little fun today. I found this quote and made the graphic to go along with it. And then I was writing a post about age … and how we celebrate our age early on in life and then we deny how old we are later on in life. And then I deleted all of that. …
So here’s the question: Who do you show up for? Another question: How do you show up for the people you love? One more question for today: Who taught you the importance of showing up? And that’s all I’ve got for today. As my friend, Mary, said this morning when I told her I’d pushed SEND on my manuscript: “You …
It’s almost impossible to get through the day without being told at least one way to take care of yourself. Eat more fruits and veggies. Drink more water. Exercise more. Sleep more. Work smarter. Be kinder. Watch less TV. You could probably make your own list of ways you are taking care of yourself — or ways you want to …
I believe that being courageous happens at the same time you are fear-filled. You don’t wait for the fear to vanish, gather courage in your fists, and advance. No, true bravery manifests when someone whispers, “I’m scared” and then doesn’t back down from whatever enemy stands before them. I also know that winning the day doesn’t always mean total victory. …
I live in Colorado — a landlocked state of mountains. And yes, I love it here. I remind myself on an almost daily basis to look up and see the beauty around me. The sunrises. The sunsets. The Front Range. Pikes Peak. But oh, how I savor a walk along the beach. The sand shifting beneath my bare feet. The …

Another way to say that: Winning isn’t everything … and sometimes winning is nothing, except the ability to boast that you won. A hollow victory that echoes back at you with no lasting effect …
I didn’t play team sports much growing up. Oh sure, I played kickball during recess. I always envied the kids who could kick a “creeker” — kicking the ball hard enough so that it soared over the ravine at the end of the playground and into the woods beyond. And I participated in the mandatory team sports in gym — …
It’s been a week where my emotions have teetered-tottered back and forth — up, down, up down. I never quite hit the ground hard … I always found a way to push myself back up into the air again — up, up, up. But then I’d get that sinking-back-down sensation again. I never was a fan of teeter-totters. This week …
Every time I read Leo Buscaglia’s quote “Change is the end result of true learning,” my response is always the same. I read it and I think, “He’s right.” You learn something, you change. And then I start mulling over the words. And I ask questions like: Have I learned a good lesson … or a bad one? Have I learned …
You should see me trying to get out the door. I slip on my shoes, gather my bottle of Sobe Lifewater, grab my purse, and head for the garage. Once I get to my car, I remember something I forgot to bring with me — my car keys maybe, or a manuscript I need to read, or my checkbook. So …
