A New Year – A Challenge to Lobsters Everywhere
What the heck? I’m starting to read the book 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos to kick off this year. And I’m thinking of using the book as a month-by-month guide. One chapter each month. One rule to set into place. One new mind-set to focus on. The first chapter is titled “Stand…

Happy 2017
I have a confession to make. I love that New Years Day falls in the dead of winter. Sure it can make travel difficult and outdoor New Year’s celebrations are a bit of a crapshoot. But the theme of the day is fresh starts. Giving thanks for the blessings of the past, saying goodbye to…

Pushing the Reset Button
It’s July 1. How did that even happen? I blinked, and suddenly we are half way through a year that feels like it just began. Wasn’t it just Valentines Day? Since Easter, I feel like I’ve been out of balance. Too much work. Not enough exercise. Not enough time with friends. Too many foods that…
