Okay, so, I have to admit it. The other day someone told me I am a procrastinator. And I had to admit that he was right. We procrastinate for many reasons. Fear. Laziness. Self-worth issues. Lack of passion. What about you? Are you procrastinating? Why aren’t you doing what you say you want to do?

Do you feel like you have lost your mojo? Do you no longer have that special something that makes you glow, feel electric, energized, happy, turned on, and in the flow? Is your magic gone? I’ve been feeling like that for a while now. As I spoke to a friend she mentioned that she thought

Today I read a story (and wrote one) about a group of Amish people who went to Israel to seek forgiveness for their ancestors doing nothing to help the Jews during the Holocaust. They also told the Rabbi of the Western Wall that from this time forward they would support the Jews. While all of

Over the last two weeks I’ve spent a lot of time with my daughter preparing her for college and helping her deal with leaving behind a boyfriend she cares about deeply. These two teens maturely choose to end the relationship to allow each other freedom while they live on opposite coasts and experience life in

I once participated in a ropes course where I was asked to climb tall poles, walk across a wire strung between two tall trees (another narrow bridge…), and repel down a cliff.

Recently my mother had to put her dog to sleep. This week she was offered a new dog, but she turned down the opportunity. She said she wasn’t sure she wanted a new dog. “I’m too old,” she reasoned. “I may not be able to handle another dog.” Her perception of being “too old” totally

I’m spending the summer again in New York City with my son. Here, amidst the constant noise and motion, I find it difficult to focus. More than that I see how I am torn in too many directions each day. Because of that, nothing gets accomplished. Let me rephrase that last sentence. Things get accomplished…little
