I recently gained a new perspective for Kim Kardashian, one of the Key Note Speakers at BlogHer16. Her two mantras were universal and useful. “Be the best you – do what is within your comfort zone and what makes you feel confident!” “More Love, No Hate.” We all have a right to define our personal…
Am I the only one who was glad to not be harshly yanked from my dream of driving down a scenic cliff side road in a vintage convertible with sun on my face, breeze in my hair only to find cinnamon toast showering her sheets as the kids get ready to rumble? Even as youngsters, holidays never started…
Julia Cameron calls this an Artist Date, I prefer Work Field Trip. I’ve already mentioned how the invitation to attend the Premiere Event for Cavalia’s Odysseo in Irvine this weekend already fulfilled my dreams! This show, and this assignment, took me on a creative journey magically stirring something awake in my soul. When I received…
10,000 ways to leave your lovin’ lard ass – or something like that. At work, we’re doing a 10,000 steps per day challenge. While losing weight could be a side-effect, the goal is simply to get our bums up out of chairs, take some time to quiet our minds and get those creative juices flowing!…
Since none of my high school girlfriends, nor I, had the opportunity to fly to Chicago to see Oprah’s show before it ended, today my friends (that I’ve known for almost 25 years!) and I attended the next best thing! Oprah’s O You 2012 in Los Angeles! I learned many gems and will share them…
“A river cuts through rock not because of its strength but because of its persistence!” –Jim Watkins “Obstacles are those frightening things that become visible when we take our eyes off our goals.” –Henry Ford (thanks Karina Saenz-Gutierrez for dropping these two gems in my pathway today!)
Whenever I walk through my front door, the first thing I do is kick off my shoes. How many of us can’t wait to get our shoes off because they feel constricting or uncomfortable? What if the next time you left your front door you had no shoes on? What if not having shoes restricted…
My name is Sarah and I am a blogger! I no longer have to hide my dirty habit! After celebrating my 100th day blogging by attending a blogging seminar I am validated and energized that one can follow many realistic paths to various careers that didn’t exist 5 years ago or even 5 days ago!…
Back then, I prepared to downsize homes for the 2nd time in 2 years. I LOVED moving a lot when younger – exploring new neighborhoods and setting up a new home. While married, I accumulated a household and dragged around our baggage. Feeling the divorce “forced” the downsize, I stubbornly held onto stuff thinking when…
Everyone’s said “If I knew then what I know now…” While one can’t “refresh” life’s events, life often presents second chances! So, again, I seized the silent moment – between the finish line of the weekend, and the starting line for the next one – to reflect on the gifts thrown in my path. TOP…
…you go to a coffee shop, grab a lemon bar and latte and write about the *&^%#@!! With most of my life, I am even-keeled. I dance through life, roll with it – Hakuna Matata! On occasion, a zinger gets through and under my skin. Recently a missile compromised the boundary of my personal dancing…
I boldly committed to writing 365 words a day for 365 days, and leapt onto the page, typing enthusiastically until the screeching realization about 10 days into it, that 2012 actually has 366 days! Dang it! I could write 366 words for 366 days, or write 366 words every 4th posting. Perhaps I should blaze…
