A Throwback to Conscious Coupling: How does your relationship stack up?
Ah, relationships. We tend to long for them when we don’t have them, but complain about them when we do. Ok, that’s not an entirely fair statement. But you have to admit, it holds a lot of truth. And the truth is, relationships are work. Even if you find your most perfect match, you still […]
Are you giving up yourself for your to-do list? Here’s how to stop it today.
When was the last time you did something for yourself? I’m talking about getting a massage. Taking yourself out to dinner. Buying yourself something you really wanted. Going for a walk instead of cleaning the dishes after dinner. Celebrating yourself and all of your awesomeness just because (oh, I’m sorry, did you think you needed […]
Beauty in Breakdown: How Your Emotions can Guide you to Make Better Choices
I don’t cry a lot. I’m not sure why. It just doesn’t happen that often. Don’t get me wrong – I get upset when I hear sad stories, or when bad things happen to good people. But most of the time I just get quiet and pensive rather than let the tears fall. I retreat […]
Always in a rush? This technique will help to slow things down
Stop me if you’ve been in this situation before: You’re in the car. You’ve left your house later than you were supposed to.

Post Valentine’s Day Blues: The Single Greatest Thing to do for Your Relationship
How did you spend Valentine’s Day? Were you crying over a tub of ice cream? Giving couples the finger? Or were you sharing some pasta with your loved one, Lady and the Tramp styles?

Special Announcement & Quick Favor
It’s been happening for a while now. I’ve been collecting information. Information about life, how to set goals while not getting so carried away with them that you forget to enjoy the present moment, how to cultivate healthy relationships (I’m still happily married, so that has to count for something….right husband, Ted?…..Ted?….), how to eat […]
The One Question to Ask Yourself This New Year’s Eve
If you’ve been reading my posts for a while, or if you know me personally, then you know I am a big goal setter. I talk about goals, I write them down, I make plans to make them happen, and then, miraculously – they do! Remarkably, I’ve been able to achieve most of the goals […]
How I Helped my Cousin Lose 10 Pounds in 3 Weeks
Despite the title, you should know that this post isn’t about weight loss. It’s not about getting lean. It’s not about building muscle. Heck, it’s not even about getting healthy. In the end, all of these things will be accomplished, but that is not the point of this post. This post is about bravery. It’s […]
A Simple Trick to Turn “I Can’t” into “I Can”
It started out like any typical Saturday. The alarm went off at 6:30am. I rolled out of bed. Put on my trail running clothes. Grunted a good morning to my handsome husband. Laced up my muddy trail running shoes (will I ever remember to clean them in between runs?), and headed out the door. It […]
