Flickr is flickering and fluttering like a struggling flame to upload my photos and I feel a tightness in my stomach. I have the photos all ready and I’ve promised to talk more of the Bali cooking school. But I can’t because I am depending on a program that isn’t functioning right. Or at least [...]

Back from Bali just a week now. To say that I needed a vacation is like saying I needed water or food. It was obvious and not a fact to be quibbled over except of course to me. You see running around with frenetic energy is what I do. I’ve perfected it. Even when my [...]

It’s my Friday and  I’ve declared Fridays my anti-procrastination day! I first got this idea from Flylady (seriously check out this site if you are at all interested in becoming organized). She suggested Wednesdays but that’s a busy day for me at the office and I needed to have a whole day where I can [...]

Have you ever thought you were witnessing the beginning of something big? I feel this now. My friend Laura Roppe is living her dream and this week that dream took another step forward! I remember meeting Laura a few years ago when we all huddled around a couch and listened to her speak of finishing a [...]

How often do you sit in silence? How often do you give eye contact? How often do you sit in silence and make eye contact? Lance posted Shhh…at his blog The Jungle of Life yesterday. He discussed silence and how it important it is to have in our life.  Silence gives us the opportunity to [...]

Shilpan of Success Soul recently wrote a great post compiling some ways to supercharge your brain. This sparked some debate at the notion that hugging a stranger would help your brain.  He was called a “Tree-Hugging Hippie” for this radical idea that touch can be helpful for our well being. Well Shilpan, you were right [...]

Isn’t it interesting what things we are afraid of? I find the more time I have on my hands the more I succumb to my fears. Before I went to medical school I thought I had it tough. But once I was immersed in the day to day stress of critical illness- shoot- It made [...]

After 8 years of marriage my husband and I did the unthinkable. The unimaginable. We took a week off. Together. At the same time. And put the kids in their regularly scheduled programs. We learned to dive. We held hands and shared air and a kiss under water. We went to breakfast. Twice. We saw [...]
