I’d get excited, and I am excited. Today I leave for a week long meditation and writing retreat at Kripalu. The retreat will be lead by author and meditation instructor Susan Piver. I am very much looking forward to returning to this peaceful center in the Berkshires for some time to just focus [...]
I was going to post something entirely different today and then I read the inspirational quote that gets delivered to my inbox daily.
A day without laughter is a day wasted. - Charlie Chaplin (1889-1977) English-born Comedic Actor and Director

I had a conversation this morning with a someone I network with regularly (In the spirit of privacy, I’ll call her Sally). Last summer Sally was diagnosed with diabetes and since that diagnosis has lost 47lbs, by making major lifestyle changes including eating habits and exercise. Sally did not want to take [...]
