Are You a ‘Slow and Steady’ or a ‘Better Get Ready’?
After a minor meltdown the other day, I was talking to my husband and described him as more "slow and steady" with his emotions, and myself as being more up and down. I am not talking about Bipolar Disorder here. It is more of a general way that I have observed people...
Adults Don’t Have to Explain Themselves
My teacher in life coaching school, Kathlyn Hendricks, used to say "adults don't have to explain themselves." I think it was some good advice. And, I'd add that there are exceptions. In this case, I haven't reached out to all of you for about two and a half years. I...

What If You Were A Newborn?
I’m still a bit obsessed with our new kitten — in a very good way. 😉 The other day, during a work break, I held him in my lap, noticing the faint “cat food breath,” which strangely smells like fish even though his food is poultry flavored. Despite that, it didn’t...
