“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and…

One Commitment at a Time
How many times have you committed to more than one goal, project or objective and then ended up feeling overwhelmed and pulled in too many directions? Did you keep plugging along? Or, did you end up quitting and not accomplishing a whole lot? I usually take on too much. I underestimate the amount of time,…
Writers Write
“I learned that you sit down at the same time every day. I learned that you do it even if you’re in a bad mood or if you’re a little sick or you don’t know what you’re doing – especially of you don’t know what you are doing. I learned that you don’t wait for…
21 Secrets
Connie Hozvicka introduced me to art journaling when I attended her Dirty Footprints Studio Creative Dig workshop in Cleveland in 2009. It was a powerful experience and I fell in love with art journaling that weekend. Since then art journaling has become a way for me to relax, to express myself, a way to lose…
Not Enough

New Years Eve 2012
This week as 2012 was approaching I decided that I wanted to end the year in ways I wanted the New Year to flow. I started by cleaning the house, clearing clutter, and organizing files. The time I spent doing this was well worth it. Tonight it feels wonderful to have the house and my…
Best Book of 2011
I read a lot and I have quite a few favorite books. Favorite books are ones I refer to and read again and again for the message they share or the practical information they teach me. Every once in a while I come across a book that goes beyond being just a favorite book. These…
52 Weeks One Day at a Time
How do you close out the year? Is it a flurry of activity, get-togethers and parties with family and friends? Do you take time to reflect on the year that is coming to a close and plan for the New Year? I like to take time throughout the month of December to reflect on where…
