I can see myself doing it. I’m procrastinating again! I have a work project I had intended to work on today, but I keep getting up from my desk. “Just a little snack . . . a couple of nuts . . . then back to work.” Who am I fooling?! I’m just not going[…]
Today at around 9am EST, my first-born turned 30. He lives in Seattle, but this momentous day will be spent near New York City, close to his birthplace, while on tour with Allen Stone; my son plays bass. We toss around the word “awesome” these days like we used to use the word “wonderful.” Break[…]
We’ve all heard the expression “Hindsight is 20/20.” But what does that kind of expert vision accomplish if it just manifests as regret. Absolutely NO good! In order to be valuable, hindsight has to give us a little foresight. In other words, it must be combined with learning to have any benefit in the future. My husband[…]
I’m now getting ready to start development of an Android version of my phone app, In the Moment – Mindful Eating, which is already available for iPhone in the App Store. It never hurts to carry a good luck charm around with me . . .

It’s called In the Moment – Mindful Eating, and it’s available at the App Store. Here’s a preview: I apologize for my poor filming skills! If you would like a clearer view of the examples above, just go to the App Store. I am grateful for your feedback.
It has been over 2 weeks since my last post, quite unusual for me! My son got married in Seattle on Sunday, October 6, and I decided to give myself a break from technology during my 2 weeks on the West Coast. Congratulations to Brent and Marina! May they be this happy for the rest[…]
My poor body! It has tried many times over the last week and a half to gently remind me, with subtle yet increasing muscle tenderness and joint aches, that I am pushing too hard. You see, I have been testing my physical limits lately: “Let’s just see what I can do if I give it[…]
I went for a run this morning, my usual 3 miler. I have been enjoying this lately, as long as I keep the distance short and the frequency low (about once a week). It feels like a celebration of my no-longer-strained hamstring muscle. This morning, however, I just wasn’t feeling the good “mojo” as I[…]
