Motivational Monday!
On Saturday night, Doug and I confirmed that our plans for Sunday morning were twofold: we would drop Clare off at her yoga studio and head into NYC for church. I love a plan, and I hate when a plan gets foiled—and that's what happened overnight. Doug didn't sleep...

"Begin with the end in mind." Stephen Covey My business partner, and college roommate, repeats this quote from Covey all the time and it's never off the mark. You will never go wrong by thinking about the ending that you are looking for before you even begin. So...

This week is when about 99% of all New Year's resolutions start to unravel, so I can't think of a better day to check in with you than today. Soooo, how's it going? Are you still on track? Do you have your resolutions written down somewhere so you are regularly...
Motivational Tuesday?
This morning, I drove my daughter to Newark Liberty International Airport at 5:30 am. She was headed to a work trip in Florida with her new job and she had asked me earlier in the week if I could drive her. Without hesitation, I said, "Yes!" We had a few hiccups on...

Yesterday, Doug and I travelled into NYC to go to church. We arrived right at 11 am for the 11 am service. During the sermon, I saw a couple being seated by the usher along with their baby. I couldn't believe how late it was in the service for them to just be...

Everyday Doug and/or I walk our dog Ella around the park right in front of our apartment. As you come around the far side of the park, there is an inlet with a small beach (yes Hoboken has a beach, LOL). The beach is mainly used by dog owners because it's enclosed...

Does kindness matter? Even a small, "inconsequential" act? And do we avoid it because we get ahead of ourselves with thoughts like, "I should just mind my own business," or "This would be weird," or my favorite, "They will think I'm weird." So all of this happened in...
Motivational Monday!
For as long as I can remember, I have been afraid of heights. I stood on the high dive at Princeton Pool for what seemed like an hour until I finally found the courage to jump into the pool. I cried, yes cried, when I realized my husband had made dinner reservations...
