Health, Wealth, Relationships & Happiness

Tuesdays with Morrie, Wednesdays with Oscar

My daughter and her friend started a book club on Facebook that I joined and the past 2 weeks we discussed the book Tuesdays with Morrie subtitled an old man, a young man and life’s greatest lesson.  The book is a true story about Morrie a very special college professor who touched Mitch’s life in [...]

Time and its relationship to health, wealth and love

Time is a concept that I’ve been a bit focused on since my mother was in the hospital in April.  I guess I’ve been a little bit tuned in to the mortality of all of us.  Although I do know that we are timeless spirits temporarily inhabiting a human body it is still a bit [...]

Enjoying the summer

Now that I live in England rather than Florida I’ve come to appreciate the warmth that I certainly took for granted when it was there year round.  We don’t get a very long summer in England but we do get many months where it is still light outside when I go to bed!  I have [...]

Heart vs head, intuition vs logic, do vs think about it

I made the choice almost 10 years ago to follow my heart and move 4000 miles away from my family and friends to start a new life in England where I had made a heart connection.  I have never once regretting the decision to be with David who is indeed my soul mate.  There are [...]

The cycle of life

My thoughts this weekend were drawn to the cycle of life as I read the tweet of one of the people I follow on Twitter, Stephen Parker ‘parkstepp’.  He includes photos in his tweets and he showed this very soulful photo of what he called ‘one coming in and one going out’. This link is [...]

The art of allowing

I’d like to share my thoughts on an article on Oprah.com by Mike Robbins and then post the entire article here so anybody, including myself, can read it anytime.  It is about the art of allowing. In 1989 (wow that is a long time ago) after my first divorce, I attended a week long personal [...]

The peace of a baby

I babysat for my three month old grandson yesterday on my day off while his mother, my stepdaughter, went to work to talk about when she will return from maternity leave.  It is her desire to return only 3 days a week.  I’m so happy for her that she has made that decision as this [...]

Mother’s Day 2010

I’m  in a bit of an odd space today and debated with myself about whether I should blog today or not.  I will try not to be down but feel like as my book shows all of me both good and bad, this blog should also be an honest portrait of my life and my [...]

10 Life Lessons You Should Unlearn

This is an article written by Martha Beck – Life Coach on Oprah.com.  I shared it on facebook yesterday and decided it was worthy of being a permanent edition to my blog.  I particularly like the ending: “Live your truth, losses be damned. Just like that, your heart and soul will return home.”  I believe that [...]
