April Intentions Update: Action and Avoidance
April, rather than being “the cruelest month,” as T.S. Eliot proclaimed, was a pendulum of action and avoidance. In some areas of my life, I made great progress and growth.

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

Intentions Blueprint for 2022
Last week, I shared in my post, Mind, Body, Spirit, that intentions for the new year began stirring and forming in my mind. Today, on the last day of 2021, I made a blueprint of those intentions.
