    Dad's Best Advice

    June 19, 2015

    I have always been a Daddy’s girl. My father was and still is my ultimate hero. He’s passionate about his work, he lives an authentic life and is the most generous person I know.

     

    But there is a piece of advice he often gave me as a child and as an adult that I wasn’t a...

    How to Move Beyond Fear

    January 30, 2015

    When I was a little girl one of the biggest fears I had was the fear that I would end up being normal. I was scared I would blend in and I would be nothing special or significant.  So I became an over achiever and eventually a perfectionist.

     

    Fast-forward to my twenties...

    Have You Tried Green Eggs and Ham?

    January 9, 2015

     

    My son is really into green eggs and ham.  No- not eating it, he loves the Dr. Suess story.  For the past few weeks he has had me read it to him every night at bedtime.  As a refresher for those not familiar with the story it goes like this;

    Tis the Season of Disappointment?

    December 12, 2014

    As a child, there were many Christmas mornings when I would wake up filled with excitement and anticipation.  I would run out to my family’s living room bursting at the seams to see what presents were awaiting me.  There were many years I was in luck and got what I had...

    Grateful For Pain

    November 27, 2014

    I love when my son cooks with me.  Against all of the recommendations of the multitude of parenting websites, I allow my 2-and-a-half-year-old son to stand on a dining room chair at the counter with me as I sauté and chop, stir and fry.  One of the first times I let h...

    My Parents Were Wrong. Life is Fair.

    November 7, 2014

     

    It’s not fair!

     

    How many times has this desperate phrase escaped your lips?  For most of us adults, we remember being a kid, whining to our parents about the unfairness we would experience. 

     

    “It’s not fair!  Why does Suzy get that toy and not me?”

    The Dangerous New Status Symbol

    September 26, 2014

     

    The body is an amazing thing. Just like a car, our check engine light comes on when things are not right.  Instead of a nagging little light, the human check engine light can appear in the form of a headache, heartburn, indigestion, insomnia, ect.  It shows up in m...
