New Year’s Resolution?
It’s that time of the year when the self-help writers tackle the topic of New Year’s Resolutions. How to make them and keep them. A couple of decades back someone thought of something new to add and wrote about the value of NOT making a resolution. claiming that making the resolution was a setup for failure. I suppose I fall into the camp of not making resolution, not so much out of a worry about failure, but rather, it’s a safe way to be a nonconformist, and for all my mild-mannered sweetness, there is a...

My friend, Sandy, asked if I’d agree to be interviewed for a project she’s working on. The subject: money and abundance. I trust Sandy and believe in the project, so I agreed, but money isn’t something I’m used to talking about.

I did it! I picked up a dead mouse. Gross, yes, I know. Forgive the disgusting subject. But this is pretty exciting for me! I have my therapist, Laura Huss, to thank! I met Laura in Virginia Beach at the Master Certification course at the A.R.E.. Before I tell you about the mouse, let me tell you about meeting Laura. She sat next to me the first full day of the class. “I wanted to introduce myself,” she said to me. “First of all, I have the same sweater you wore last night,” she smiled. We’d had an...
