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 […]

At the start of autumn, as I began to hear my clients and other folks express concern about the isolation of the winter months, I created a guide to help people learn to shift their mindset called, “5 Fun Ways to Make Your Own Sunshine!”  And not only did I offer this complimentary guide to […]

In last week’s blog post, I wrote about my family’s trip to Traverse City, Michigan, and I told the story of the fun we had hiking at Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes. In one part of my account, I mentioned that although my family members and I knew that it would take about three hours to […]

A short while ago, my family and I traveled to Traverse City, Michigan for some much-needed rest and relaxation.  We chose that location because there were so many opportunities to explore and have fun, while safely social distancing. The hiking trails, wineries/breweries and waterfront parks were simply gorgeous, especially as the fall colors peaked. And one […]
