I’m moving next month—leaving a 3-bedroom house on a cove in Rhode Island and headed for a small apartment smack in the middle of a university town in New Jersey. It’s transition time. As they say, “Transitions ain’t easy.” I don’t know who “they” is, but “they” are right! I’ve been in this land before, […]
With the publication of Midlife Magic: The 7 Day Self-Care Plan to Boost Your Energy and Make You Smile, I received many questions about what led up to writing it—especially how I came to include my own midlife journey around the world.

Do you know January is hot tea month? Wondering why I’m calling this to your attention? Good question! I’ll answer it with another one. What happens when you sit down for a hot cup of tea? That’s right; you stop what you’re doing. And that’s a good thing. To echo an old CocaCola slogan: “it’s […]
During the pre-holiday rush, I woke up one morning to a bad start. I had overslept. I washed up quickly, dressed, grabbed a fast breakfast and hustled out the door to reach an appointment on time. Oh no! For the first time this winter, a hard layer of frost encrusted all the windows of my […]
Your to-do list is undoubtedly expanding with the upcoming holidays. Maybe you already feel flummoxed every morning about where to start with the items on that list. If you’re like a client of mine, you wonder whether you should make the bed, load the dishwasher, order holiday gifts, head for the elliptical in the basement, […]
