Maybe exhaustion is not a curse but a kind of evidence. Proof that I have shown up. Proof that I have poured out effort, love, energy, and presence. Proof that I have lived.

Fabulous to 40 PlanÂ
I have a big birthday this fall and of course aging gracefully is something we all don't think about really until age becomes a thing. Then we ALL strive to do it well. I am not in the camp where I want to Not Age. I know some are. they will do everything they can [...]
Balance
As a life coach the term balance comes up often and it can be daunting to try and comprehend fully and to create for a client. Everyone's idea of balance is different. I have said before that I do not believe in "work/life balance". This phrase implies work is actually not apart of life! I [...]
Dear Gen Alpha,
Let's just start here. You have the most technical shills at any of us, you've been through a Pandemic, Your smarter than me. Honestly. "Mini millennials" is a term used to describe you because of your link to very end of the Gen X and millennial parents. Your ability to tic. toc, online date, debate politics, care for world issues, and not worry about the traditions that died out during your time astounds me. You are the first generation to be born entirely in the 21st century! Give yourself a pat on the back. Seriously. I hope you always carry the zeal and energy that you have now. You will change the world for the better. I'm sure it. I'm sorry we haven't done better for you.

NYC with Kids
NYC has a vibe all its own. If Paris is "lovely" and California is "cool", then NYC is full of Moxie. You must be prepared for it. And good luck, if you plan to bring children to the Big Apple. We did, and it was epic Joy. Planning ahead is your friend and being ready [...]
Routines that Fail
Americans statically take less vacation than our European counterparts and yet are not more active. But thats not what I'm talking about here.. What are the routines that anyone no matter how much yoga or $$ you have will burn you out and cause relationship sabotage? On the flip side of a chaotic routine you have the mundane. The automatic and even boring. This is where you fall asleep at the wheel of life, and dare I say, the spark of passion dies. Think Covid-19. with zero shifts of routine, schedule or even scenery for months on end. People were going psychologically nuts from it. there is data to prove it. so what do you do?
Lazy Laundry
I personally do between 9-11 loads of Laundry depending on the week. This is for a family of four! The average American household does between 8-10 loads of laundry a week according to a google search, so I am right there in the zone as I am sure you are too. This translates to about [...]
