The Days Are Long
I guess the economy is taking it’s toll on all of us. I got fired this week, by my four-year-old. I made the mistake of stopping to talk with a friend I hadn’t seen in a long time, while we were on our way to the toy store. The good news is that he re-hired […]
A Story About Attitude
With a challenging year behind us, and a promising new year on the doorstep, I thought it would be a good time to share one of my favorite stories. I hope that we can all adopt some of the lessons of “Jerry”. Happy 2009 to you! Jerry is the manager of a restaurant in South […]

Three Times A Lady
I recently experienced one of the most heart-breaking days of my life. We made the unbelievably difficult decision to put our 17-year-old Lady-Dog down. We adopted her 8 years ago, and I know we gave her the best years of her life, but still I am so sad. A few years ago, we learned that […]

Love Your Body
Love Your Body. Easier said than done, for an estimated 80% of women in America who report being dissatisfied with their physical appearance. Currently in the U.S we spend over $40 Billion a year on diet related products. With that kind of money on the table, the marketers of diet products are not going to […]
Hot, Hot, Hot!
Summer is quickly coming to an end. My boys are all-too aware that only three weeks remain before they start school again. It almost doesn’t seem fair. My oldest wants to know why the fun times go so fast, and the “boring” times go so slow. I don’t have an answer for that one, but […]
Blog Talk Radio Interview
On July 24, while everyone in the state of Utah was out celebrating our pioneer heritage, I had the opportunity to participate in a live one-hour Blog Talk Radio interview with Darlene Braden. Isn’t technology cool? Darlene Braden B.S. is the author of “What Stops You? Overcome Self Sabotage Personal and Professional” and “What Stops […]
“Oh ,Honey”
I played music in my yoga class today that had fetal heartbeat sounds mixed with the music. The first sound we ever hear is our Mother’s heart and it is believed to be the most soothing sound we can hear as an adult. I realize that not everyone has fond feelings or memories of their […]
