I write this post today as much for myself as for you–although, I suppose, that’s the truth on most days. As the the wisdom of the sages goes, we teach what me most need to learn. The lesson today: Don’t let money stand in the way of living fully. I say that humbly and with [...]

A Different View of Roadblocks

March 9, 2011 By Leave a Comment

It never fails. Just as I say commit to moving forward with one of my goals or dreams, I get bogged down with a work project. I should feel grateful for work (and I do on many levels). Work means I brings in money. My husband appreciates the fact that I can contribute to the [...]

It’s been over a month since I last blogged. I should be flogged! But I won’t dwell on the negatives of why I haven’t blogged. Suffice it to say, I’ve been busy. Too busy to write. Too busy to bicycle. Too busy to read. Too busy to relax. Too busy to garden. Too busy to [...]
