Get your fabulous life and great love after the storm.
If you’ve read my toe story, you know that my brain can go off on a tangent of worry and anxiety. And based on the responses I got – so can yours. But how do you turn off the crazy brain? Anyone that has ever had a kid, pet or younger sibling can tell you [...]
Step 5 to an ignited life: Just say no The volunteer coordinator sent me an e-mail asking if I could come over around 10:00am the next day to work on the project that I had been asking to schedule for weeks. Less than 24 hours notice? You want me to be there mid-morning on a [...]
I had just finished up several days of morning hearings and I felt like crap. I had a constant upset stomach, I was tired and feeling like I had brain fog. I knew I hadn’t been taking care of myself but it suddenly hit me that I had been grabbing a coffee and Egg McMuffin [...]

I discovered something disturbing about myself recently. My knees have started to wrinkle. I only noticed this because I was trying to apply lip stuff while driving to a business meeting. I say “stuff” because I would like to say that I was gliding on Urban Decay’s hip new shade of “Hobo Vomit” pink but I [...]
There is a better than decent chance that you have to pee right now. I know, it’s a weird thing for me to know about you. I promise I’m not a “bladder psychic” (that would be a really gross superpower, wouldn’t it?). What I know is that if you are reading this, you are probably [...]
