Do It Afraid – A Lesson in Courage
Have you been living fearless? Are you venturing down new roads? Do you live life without reservation? One of my favorite movie quotes is "A life lived in fear is a life half-lived." It's from Strictly Ballroom, a movie my husband introduced me to years ago. We even mentioned it in our latest book because of the strong implication for how to live a courageous, full life. So if we've got metaphors and quotes and movies for... [Read More...]
Are You Keeping Up?
I'm sad to admit that I've fallen behind in this month's challenge. What about you? Are you keeping up? I know that at least a few of you have emailed me to say you're working on it, but a bit behind. With each new email, I send a sincere reply saying that's it's okay and to give yourself permission to get it done as you can. I've decided to give myself the same grace since I've been traveling on business. For... [Read More...]

Join the Clean Air Club
When we moved to Atlanta, we knew we'd get hit by heat and humidity. We didn't know we would get hit by allergies from all of the pollen in the air. I have never seen so much pollen. At times it literally looks like it is raining! My kids who have never had allergy problems are starting to complain about itchy eyes and sneezing. What's a busy mom to do? Keep them indoors all summer? Not likely. Years ago... [Read More...]
Take Action for Freedom
I was recently sent the following press release regarding healthcare workers. While I don't know the whole story, I think it's wise for all of us to do our research and check in on things like this. It's so easy to have freedoms removed before we even realize what we're missing. On April 9, 2009, the government will close the debate on an issue that could be important to many of your friends, family and local physician’s careers.... [Read More...]
I’m Living Au Naturale
Not the urban dictionary definition, but the living green, Whole Foods, organic definition. I'm participating in 30 Days to Natural sponsored by GreenWorks. I started slow by sampling their products, testing how they worked and then moved up to replacing the chemically laden cleansers in my cupboard with fresh smelling natural cleaners. Now it's 30 Days to Natural and I'm getting daily tips for how to shape up my house and my life to... [Read More...]
Join the Qlubb (pronounced like Club!)
Found a great new site for busy women and moms. It's an online "club" that lets you post photos, make plans, and even arrange family reunions. It can help you remember birthdays and anniversaries! I definitely need help there! Enter Qlubb.com. It took me about a week to figure out it wasn't Q–lubb, but pronounced like "Club." So I can be a little slow at times. Qlubb.com makes organizing playgroups, book clubs,... [Read More...]
