Break Out of Comfort
A few days of below-zero temps, ice and snow made me realize how lazy I had become. It was horrible. It was way past mid-January, and I hadn't even started on my New Year's goals. I realized I was bored because I was comfortable. And to me comfortable meant lazy....
The Old Ball and Chain…
Alarm beeps. Snooze hit. Moan exhales. Dread sets in. Another day. Apparently an early day if the alarm wakes you and you hit snooze. I do it every morning. Some mornings I hit snooze to turn the annoying thing off and then allow myself 90 seconds to wake up and...
How Tight Is Your Blindfold?
Five friends. A van. And a blindfold. What a great adventure that was! Our friend was turning 50 and we took her on a scavenger hunt. The first few stops were visible. But the last one....blindfolded. Laughing and pulling the blindfold tight, we had a blast leading...

Goal Setter or Resister?
Happy New Year! A new year brings opportunities for resolutions or goals or starting a bucket list. Blah, blah, blah.....scoff, laugh, puke. I imagine some of you are rolling your eyes and laughing at just the thought of resolutions and goals and bucket lists as well...
A New Captain On My Ship!
I'm going to be really open today with raw emotions on this post. It's like I've been sailing on a ship that has just been floating with anchor down. The anchor can be defined as my procrastination and feelings of unworthiness. That anchor was being held down by the...
