I need a new word…

March 22, 2010

Yes, I need  a new word to describe my new thrust.  I am in training to be a coach, yet that word has acquired a negative connotation.  So many well-intentioned people who have no true skills have chosen to take the human race’s natural inclination to help others and try to make a living at [...]

Some Days it’s Tough

March 16, 2010

to be positive. This morning is gray and wet and the news about our incredible deficit is so defeating. Even more defeating is that so many of our elected officials are more concerned about re-election than they are about the future of our nation and our children.

Getting in my Own Way

March 4, 2010

Yep.  Don’t you do that too?  Set goals, feel wonderful about them, then slowly let them sink into the pool of unexecuted plans? My coach Barbara has given me an assignment.  I made a confession to her.  I feel quilty about taking money for coaching other people.  That is sort of crazy, because I have [...]

Surfing the Internet is

March 3, 2010

good for your brain.  No kidding.  Maybe some of the content is doubtful, but the activity stimulates your brain cells. I fell in love with the Internet in 1995 when there really was nothing there to see.  I was interested in doing a magazine and somehow distributing it through the computer, a pretty innovative concept [...]

Creating Order out of Chaos

March 2, 2010

All these changes, positive though they may be, have resulted in a degree of chaos in my life. The flat belly diet is rewarding me each day as I get into my favorite jeans without a fight.  Interestingly enough, because I can SEE the results, I don’t have a need to jump on the scale. [...]

The Common Thread of Writing

March 1, 2010

Yesterday, I went to the Home Depot to purchase a new dishwasher.  My last dishwasher had the electronic touch-pad controls and they wore out in less than three years.  Still, there is almost no alternative on the new machines. After making my selection, the salesgirl and I were chatting as we went through the payment [...]
