As you know, we conducted a little contest for our first challenge, which was to incorporate 16oz of water into your daily diet. It took a little getting used to, but I must say that now, there is nothing more satisfying than a glass of ice cold water! Delicious! I will write a post with [...]
There’s something that you’ve been meaning to do. You know that it will help you with your [insert your goal, dream, plan, idea here]. But you just haven’t done it yet. Maybe you had a great idea in the shower to earn some extra income—you just have to remember to call Suzy’s friend Ryan to [...]
This morning, I was out walking my monster, Max. As soon as we got outside, Max started to pull. I decided right then and there that I would have to keep Mr. Max on a very short leash during our walk. The sidewalks were still slippery and there was “black ice” all over the ground. [...]

The other day, I was having brunch with my friend and one of her good friends. Let’s call her Marta. Anyway, Marta is a beautiful older woman who has lived a robust life and continues to. She travels to several different countries every year, is a deep well of spiritual knowledge and guidance and has [...]
Well, I’m on Day 4 of becoming an ex. Today was my first day of separation, which was a little bit difficult, but I survived.
