When the holidays hit, we can find ourselves perhaps in overwhelm with too much stuff to do in addition to the busyness of our everyday lives. With our regular work schedules, family obligations, meetings, exercise, etc, we pile on holiday parties, shopping, decorating and more. It can feel rather daunting. The truth of the matter […]

I’ve heard it said that “if you fail to plan, you plan to fail”and there is great wisdom and truth in that saying. When we don’t know what our plans are, where we are headed, where we are going, we may very well doom ourselves to plans gone awry whether that’s in business, in creating […]

Our lives are filled with paths upon which we travel, literally and metaphorically. The path from childhood to adulthood; the path through various education levels; the path of marriage and creating a family; the path of healing from a serious illness; the path through a work career just to name a few. Our paths, sometimes […]

“Wash your dishes” sounds like something our mother would tell us, though it’s something I told a friend of mine who said he hadn’t washed his dishes in 3 months! Now there’s gotta be something growing on them by now, right? He announced he had left his dishes for this extended period in the sink […]

I recently helped a client who had boxes of things stored at her mother’s house, as did her sister. The garage was filled from front to back and top to bottom. There was one small path to walk through. The side yard held her and her husband’s boat and multiple boxes as well as multiple […]

Have you ever stopped and looked at your keyring and wondered what all the keys you have belong to? Maybe you aren’t one that collects keys, but for some reason, I am.
