I’m not sure how to explain it exactly. I mean, I couldn’t see it or hear it.  And there was no evidence to support my belief.  Really, the evidence was to the contrary.  My husband tried to point this out and encouraged me to give it up. Yet still, I knew. Here’s the story of […]

Obsessed. That’s the only way I can describe how I’ve been feeling about the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy who will be joining our family in a few months. And I should confess, the adorable dog in this picture is not my dog. It’s actually one of the pictures from my vision board, and I […]

I’m Italian and I love food. In November 2018, I signed up for Weight Watchers in hopes of losing ten pounds before my daughter’s wedding that was coming up that July.  I had never tried a structured diet before, and I honestly wasn’t very hopeful.  From the start, I wasn’t sure I had it in […]

SH*T! That was the very first word that came out of my mouth last Thursday morning. And then, other unsavory words and phrases followed as I jumped up out of my bed and pulled the covers off the mattress. You see, I had spilled more than half of my cup of hot coffee down the […]

Jerry and I have been hiking at different spots on the weekends these days, and last Sunday we visited a site we used to go many years ago when our kids were little.  It’s a beautiful place with expansive views, high on top of rolling hills that overlook a curvy river.   Well, as you […]

Have you ever thought about choosing a special word to help you define your focus as you begin the new year? I have done this for the past few years now, and I’ve found it to be such a powerful practice that I’ve encouraged my clients to do the same. Each year, I choose one […]

A few weeks ago, I noticed a sweet, little black cat hanging out near the front entrance to the park where I walk each morning.  He was skittish but would sometimes meow at me from a distance.  The park is quite isolated with no homes for miles, and so I could reasonably assume that he […]

The weather was gorgeous here in Northeast Ohio towards the end of the week, and my morning walks were delightful.  It was a wonderful mid-December treat! The wildlife seemed to enjoy the mild temperatures too, with everyone out and about, socializing and getting a bite to eat.  It’s my guess that the birds started the […]

I love my office. When I am there, I feel warm and light and inspired. And my clients tell me the same thing. This makes me happy, because they are the number one reasons I created this space! The walls in my office are painted a brilliant yellow, and inspiring wall art in bright accent […]
