Before you think I’ve transitioned to offering landscaping advice, first, know that will never happen. Second, while this gem of advice can be taken literally, today we’re thinking more about metaphorical efforts. You’ve heard me say before that “energy flows where intention goes.” Whether it’s your lawn, or your life, you’re going to see changes […]

A few weeks ago, I was out for a run on one of my favorite routes, and this little gem caught my eye. I was super stressed that morning, as I’ve had a habit this summer of asking for seconds before finishing my first plate, if you get my drift. All for the good, but

The MBA world is nothing if not solution-oriented. It’s full of past, present and future consultants, and even those of us who don’t fit that mold are all about fixing what’s broken, or at least could be better (and what can’t be better, right??), in most of what we do. When diagnosing a problem –
A little more inspiration from summer before it finds its way out…simply, put, it’s not what happens to you, but how you respond to it. Control what you can, which usually means yourself, and not much more than that. It’s easy to forget that, though, and to believe that our thoughts and emotions are in

If you kept up with us this week, you know we talked about both the challenge and the liberation of learning to say “no” to people, projects and even “opportunities” that your intuition tells you aren’t right, or are just aren’t right for right now. Everyone’s different, but for some of us, it’s easier to

You all know that the topics I write about here aren’t coming from a place of high-and-mightiness, right? I’m usually writing about things that I’m in the process of learning, or learning again, myself. Rumi said that “When setting out on a journey, do not seek advice from one who has never left home.” So,

Hey there! Hoping you’ve had a great week, and are as excited as I am to welcome in the weekend ahead. This week, we talked about distractions, and ways that mindfulness can help you to manage your attention span, especially when it comes to the pull of the screen. Now, I do realize the irony

Summer chill feel like it’s wearing off lately? Eh, don’t worry. It happens — every year in fact. The shine wears off of everything new (because it was an illusion to begin with…convo for another day…), and we’re left with, well, what we actually feel. Check out this post I wrote this time last year,
There are so many wonderful tricks of the trade out there for finding calm, many of which you hear me talk about here on this site, and elsewhere. What I love about mindfulness, though, is most of our options involve tuning in to yourself, and connecting with the peace that is always right there at
