After two of my amazing clients lost a considerable amount of weight last year on the Weight Watchers program, I was inspired to try it myself.  (Shout-out to Laura and Patricia!!!) So, in November, just before the holiday season, I committed to going all in and I did just that.  I’m proud to say that […]

This month marks five years since I began my life coaching business, and I have been spending time in gratitude and reflection about this during my morning walks. In some ways, it feels like a whirlwind and I can hardly believe five years have already passed. Yet in other ways, it seems like a lifetime […]

Many of us have grown up with messages like: Life is hard or Life is a struggle, and so we don’t even question the negative energy that this thought might create. We accept this notion as a “fact” because that’s what our brain does: find “evidence” to support our thoughts. Then over time, these thoughts […]

Have you ever stood next to a swimming pool on a hot day, wanting to jump in, but hesitating because you knew the water would be chilly at first? This has happened to me a zillion times and has become noticeably worse the older I get! My husband, Jerry, and I took a walk on […]

I love when the trees begin to blossom at the beginning of May and bursts of color pop up along the trails that I walk in the morning. However, we had a cold and rainy start to spring this year and the bluffs were late to bloom. When I mentioned to my husband how much […]

One evening last summer, we spent some time strolling the beach at Fairport Harbor, and then decided to go out onto the fishing pier for an expansive view of the sunset. As we climbed onto the pier, […]

I love the way the snow glistens in the sunlight when I take a walk on a crisp winter morning. This beautiful scenery combined with the sound of the waves hitting the shore and the birds chirping their morning songs fills me with a feeling of peace. Recently, on one particularly beautiful morning like this, […]

I did not grow up in the country and so when we moved to a rural area several years ago, I was often amazed by the sights and sounds of our new environment. The horses playing in the field across the street delighted me when I looked out my kitchen window. And the vast sky […]

The people close to me know that the best way to get me to do something is to tell me Ican’t. Sometimes this has worked to my advantage, but other times, not so much. When you read the following account of an experience I had a few months ago, you will see just how ridiculous […]
