We’ve made it through February. Time to check up on those New Year’s Resolutions you reluctantly made. Most people have long ago lost that piece of paper.
I go to a fitness club. I have for over 20 years. So I know this little graph to the right to be absolutely true.
I curse [...]

My 5-year-old was balancing on one foot on the edge of the bed frame last night. She fell off and immediately said, “watch, I’ll do it better next time.” (And she did).
Being the ever-conscious parent that I am, I tried to seize the moment for a “life lesson.” I told her that she was right, [...]

I missed my favorite class at the gym last week because I had a meeting. When I returned to class this week, people asked me where I’d gone and assumed I’d been on vacation. Unfortunately, it was far from vacation, but it was clear why they’d made this assumption. I never miss class, and I [...]

I confess that I had so much to do and so much fun over the holiday weekend that I just got to reading my emails from the weekend. And naturally, every internet marketer whose list I’m on had an Independence Day email for me.
Most of them had the typical “find your financial [...]

What exactly does mindfulness mean? To be mindful is to be present in the moment without passing judgment on the moment. Just being. Mindfulness has its roots in Zen Buddhism. So who better than Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh to define mindfulness for us:

For most of us, multi-tasking is not at all an option. Entrepreneurs, it seems to me, are born multi-taskers. Not only do we accept it as a part of life, we demand it.
I’m incapable of sitting on the couch and watching tv. It may occupy my eyes, but it’s mindless. And [...]

I have had a rough week. I lost my cell phone. I never imagined how inconvenient that would be. And I’m double mad about it because I’m 99% sure it’s somewhere in my house.
I’ve been trying to feel grateful for the fact that my house is big enough that I [...]
