As I get closer to completing my manuscript, I suddenly have an epiphany. We all like to know the ending BEFORE we finish the beginning! I haven’t even finished the book, let alone mapped out all the plans behind the book, and I am jumping to the endpoint. Worse, I’ve done this a million times […]
Sitting and thinking about all the different things to write for your Sunday morning read is such a gift. And it is a delight to carve out something that might cause you to pause. This week, someone paused ME. They asked me to tell them concretely what it means to change your thinking. For the […]
So you want to add some excitement to your brain cells? Lean in, okay? Did you know there is an organization called babyboomer.org? Chances are high; you don’t because it is barely a year old.

And I’ll also wager you were successful in only a handful. Ever wonder why? I ran across this quote from Thich Nhat Hahn, a recently […]
This week, I rediscovered an old forgotten technique and thought you might find it helpful. Behind the scenes, I am doing a bit of a rebrand and refreshing my website and all my marketing collateral.
