With this being the last day of the month, I wanted to give you an update on the Intentions I initiated at the beginning of January. Initially, I thought I may be focusing on too much, with intentions in three different areas (mind, body and spirit). However, I find that even if I don’t do Read More
Month: January 2022
Hello, Anger, My Old Friend
That old familiar feeling grips my stomach, and my breathing turns shallow. Thoughts fly through my mind and words hurl out of my mouth. I feel my blood pressure rising… And afterwards, the “cool down” when my mind and body refused to leg go, and the thought of a drink to make it disappear appeared Read More
January’s Word of the Month: Less
As a response to the lack of structure in my life at the close of 2021, I started this year with a makeover. I set intentions for my mind, body and spirit. I came up with a meal matrix, no joke, to rid myself of the weekly conundrum of what to make for dinner. And Read More
