Just for Fun?!

I grew up in an overachiever family. And, as the oldest of seven kids, it was not easy to refuse the Kool-Aid. As my husband, son and I were out bike riding around the beautiful lake in the center of our city Saturday morning, we stumbled…

Self-Care, My Best Friend

Last night I spoke to a wonderful group of about fifty women in their 30s-50s from the National Charity League about the Power of Self-Care. It’s a really cool group of mothers and daughters who work together to support their communities through…

Simplicity

One of our favorite family activities is to visit the Sunset Valley Farmer’s Market each Saturday morning, choose some yummy things to eat for the day/week and come home and enjoy a wonderful leisurely lunch together. This past Saturday,…

Trusting

Last night I had the opportunity to have dinner with a dear friend who just celebrated her 49th birthday. We ate at one of my favorite restaurants located in an old house in East Austin, surrounded by two acres of beautiful gardens filled with…

Summer of ……

Summer always signifies or beckons a slowing down for me (even though I'm still working). I often choose a theme for the months of June, July and August, moving into this season in a relaxed manner, yet intentionally, so I don't wake up on August…

Mothering

I attended a really wonderful "active art" event last night in Austin in honor of Mother's Day, called Mothering: The Act Of. The evening was the brainchild of my creative friends Lynn and Aimee. We were asked to reflect on Mothering as an act…

Spirit Food

Isn’t it interesting how your mood or state of mind can swing from such extremes in the course of just a week? This week I juggled numerous work, staffing, personal and technical challenges and felt, many times, like I just wanted to get…
