Each Monday I spend a little time looking at the week that just ended. This is to make sure I'm using my time to cultivate habits that support my overarching goals and values.

I especially love it when you, dear friends, chime in with your own observations. "In the shapeliness of a life, habit plays its... Continue Reading →
Happy Wednesday! I usually publish this post on Mondays, but this week’s blog schedule is going to be off-kilter. Something happened to our internet on Saturday afternoon and our provider was able to send someone out to fix it on Tuesday morning. Well - we had a quite detox period, let me tell you! We...
