Think Well

  • Your Daily Allowance

    Hey! Are you allowing your life to simply happen? Like not even an auto-pilot life, but more like a ricocheting life–ping-ponging around as things hit. How’s that working for you? Not too swell, right? It sure the heck wasn’t working for me! I mean, I wanted to be moving forward, making improvements, not writing the same…

  • Muscle Memory

    Muscle Memory

    Have you ever noticed how, when you stop doing something good, like: writing, drawing, dancing, exercising, meditating, delivering a baby,* even if you start to want to do it again, your “this is so good for my soul” muscle says, “um… sorry, no.” *Of course I have to tell you the story of the interruption…

  • Life is Like a Handful of Magic Beans

    Magic Beans: Everyone else thinks they’re crap and nothing happens until you plant them! I am the queen, nay empress, of handfuls of magic beans: hey, look at these beans, aren’t they cool?

  • I wondered about my inability to write a blog post…okay, inability is wrong, I’ll do anything but write–paint the bathroom, rearrange my office (although, this might have actually helped me*), vacuum, wash the kitchen floor–my resistance to writing a blog post. Why was I actively avoiding it? I’ve read The War of Art, I’ve listened…

  • Dress Your Super Power

    Dress Your Super Power

    Say whaaaaat? Dress your super power, maybe it’s a side of your personality that is dying to get out, maybe it’s a feeling you get when you see someone emulating what you wish you were. Maybe it’s just being able to dress a part, like Halloween but for real life. #innergoddess #innerbikerchick #innerCEO #innerwitch #innermermaid…

  • Has this happened to you? You’re strolling along–actually, not strolling, you’re rushing along through your life–get up, get kid up, off to school, get to work, EMAILS, drama, EMAILS, more drama, plus emergencies, rush home, dinner, dishes, drama, dog for walk, treadmill (because, uh, the walk wasn’t really enough)…PHEW! By this time all you’re ready…

  • THERE ARE NO RULES

    The following is a post from my old blog, but I like it and actually I needed to relearn it! So, here it is: Twice yesterday I received the message, “there are no rules.” Once from *The Universe (I am not even kidding, we’ll talk more on that later!) and once from a newsletter I…

  • Re-Mind. Also, my goals for A Round of Words in 80 Days

    Small adorable child looking at my locket, opening it and seeing the words inside: Why do you have this in here? Me: Well, I have the word “attention” because I need to pay attention. Mother of small adorable child: You?! Really?! (said in a far too sarcastic voice!) Hmmm. Perhaps I need to do more…

  • Unregrettable.

    Unregrettable.

    Regret is a four letter word dressed up as a 6 letter word for a non-stop bad Halloween party. Remember that party, where that guy kept following you around? And you did everything to not talk to him, but there he was. Yeah, that one. I’m here to tell you that regrets are not necessities.…
