Learning to love myself
When I first realized that I was sabotaging my own happiness, it was disappointing and shocking. It all started around the first of the new year. I was on Facebook and saw an invitation to lose 10 pounds in 10 days. All I had to do was follow a specific diet plan for 10 days.…

You may be asking “How can I get ahead?” Let’s look at the question to make sure we are talking about the same thing. In terms of work, there will always be more to do. In my mind, getting ahead means being able to meet deadlines and still balance both roles for work and home.…
You Can Lead A Horse
There are so many horse references in our society. For example, you may have heard the cliche “You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink.” (If so, you may have also heard ways to force the horse to drink. We’re not going to take that class today.) So, how do…
Parenting is the hardest thing I’ve ever done
There are so many times I’ve thought my parents did it wrong. I was right. But I was also wrong. I’ve become a parent. And that has been the biggest growing experience I’ve ever had. The hardest thing that I’ve learned is that I need to allow my children to experience life on their own.…

A Small Idea

Ice Skating and Other Fun Things
As I write this, I’m thinking about what will be happening soon. I have ice skating on my calendar. I’m so excited to go ice skating. It feels like it has been a while since I’ve done something “fun.” While I was thinking about ice skating, I was reminded about balance. In my opinion, the…
They Don’t Pay Me For That
As you may know by my recent posts, I’ve been thinking about The Go Giver. (This book was part of my homework assignment for the Partnership To Success coaching program.)
