It’s probably not the first word that comes to mind, what with all the diapers, spit up and crumb-filled car seats. The general messiness doesn’t lend well to an idea of romance.

Scary Things
I used to hate scary things. Not scary movies or books (like Helter Skelter, that one messed with me for a while), but things that took me outside of my comfort zone. Scary things like quitting my job, starting my own private practice, writing blogs, buying a house, having a baby. Have you ever heardContinue reading “Scary Things”
Three Bites
I teach my clients about mental gymnastics; the short cuts and double loop-de-loops you do in order to overcome obstacles in your mind. For example, you know that chore or that work task you really don’t want to do? Here’s a trick. Tell yourself you will only work on this task for 5 minutes. SetContinue reading “Three Bites”
A Not So Great Start
I knew there was a reason I wanted to devote an entire month to focusing on feeding and loving my body well… because it’s tough! We are not off to a great start. I’m going to be kind to myself because of my four month old. Something about cute babies and sleep deprivation makes meContinue reading “A Not So Great Start”
…Is A Temple…
I call this week’s resolution “…Is a Temple”, a short biblical saying, taken out of context to remind myself to treat my body with respect. Meaning giving it good food, the exercise it needs, and other things it needs to be the healthiest it can be. This month is going to be tough for me.Continue reading “…Is A Temple…”
Mediocre Meditation
I think some people are scared of meditation. “You mean sit and do nothing except be mindful of my thoughts for a long period of time? I don’t think so! I spend most of my day trying to ignore the thoughts that go through my head!” That is usually somewhere along the lines of theContinue reading “Mediocre Meditation”

And my husband learned the Sun Salutations A and B and basics of trauma therapy. At the end of the week, weContinue reading “Growth Plan Week 4”

Teach Me Something Good
As the week comes to a close, I am getting ready for next week’s resolution, which I’m calling, “teach me something”. Before I explain next week’s resolution, let me recap last week: Read a book a month. I already finished one book and am on to my second book this month. Yes, I am anContinue reading “Teach Me Something Good”
