Expand Your Comfort Zone

  Since my last blog came out about having B.A.L.L.S. I’ve been bombarded with comments, questions and lots of fun presents. (including my friend Laura who brought me “chocolate balls” from her travels!) YUMMMMMM! One of the questions was “What does it feel like to “expand your comfort zone” when you’re practicing B.A.L.L.S.?“ - which... Read More

What’s In Your Closet?

We moved. Two adults, two fabulous little girls, one little doggie named Lily Madonna and one very big doggie named Mojo. Wow, do we have a lot of ‘stuff’! (Lily Madonna only had one box, so she’s really not the problem here). It reminded me of a really funny bit George Carlin had about humans and their stuff. “Our houses are really just piles of our stuff with little... Read More

What’s Stopping You from Your Delicious-ness?

Last week my mom was visiting and I decided to take some time off to spend with her and the girls. Toward the end of the week, I realized that I had slipped into a state of overwhelm. Sitting at dinner with my family, staring off into space, not really listening to the conversation and thinking of all the things that were piling up in my office I realized that overwhelm is what... Read More

Are You Pregnant?

Did my subject line get your attention? I was referring to the consistent, exciting and yet sometimes frustrating state of feeling ‘pregnant with possibility’. Have you been laboring for a long time? Are you just stopping by the drugstore to pick up the pregnancy test? Are you in your 1st trimester? Or are you long over due? No matter where you are in your process, today’s... Read More

Stop Procrastinating

I’m just back from filming in New York for Grandparents.com. If you’re not already a member, sign up now (if you are a Grandparent or if you have a grandparent), there’s tons of cool stuff there and this Fall we’re launching this faaaabulous video journaling project – it’s going to be amazing! Can’t wait for you to see. If you absolutely can not wait one more minute... Read More

Are You Avoiding It?

I’ve done absolutely everything I can today to avoid writing this blog. I’ve balanced all of my bank accounts (even though I recently hired someone to do that for me), I’ve done laundry, returned emails, baked banana bread with my daughter… You name it. The funny thing is, there is no greater sense of freedom and accomplishment than when I press ‘send’ after the... Read More

Can You See It? Can You Feel It?

I’m back from Vancouver and my looooooong travel days.  I stopped off for a quick layover in Los Angeles and spent 12 faaaabulous hours with my lil’ sister- we had so much fun. I definitely needed a break after that – so me & the fam hung out at the beach all weekend… here’s a pic of Em & me… check out that beautiful lighting ~ it looks like... Read More

A Perfect Moment

A Perfect Moment… I just tested my mobile upload by snapping a quick photo of my amazing daughter’s banana bread (with CHOCOLATE CHIPS!) and my morning coffee. yuummmmmmm. It worked! So I guess that means I can officially take this blog on the road.  The road to fabulous, that is. The funky plate is from a set I kept that belonged to my grandmother, I love the retro... Read More

Morning

It’s very dark and rainy this morning, so I lit the candles by my bed and just watched them for a little while. The white roses are making me happy this week. Having a special candle on my nightstand is one way I celebrate every day.  It fills my room with a scent I love and I always know that the simple meditation of lighting a candle and watching it burn is just an arm’s... Read More

Energetic Mojo Cleansing

Here’s my special “mojo-cleansing ceremony” for your work and living spaces. It’s not based on any feng shui master’s secrets or ancient rituals, I can’t even really remember the books I consulted at the time I came up with this, but I will tell you the funny story that goes along with this cleansing ceremony and then I’ll break it down so you can rock some good... Read More
