I’m starting this on Monday, March 1st. I’m so excited.
This is something I recently was told about and talked on my show this past weekend. Many listeners and Facebook friends are starting it with me.
Dr Emmet Fox, who was a lecturer, teacher, author and minister, developed this many years ago.
Here’s [...]

Last week, I explored the current trends in “overparenting” for younger children, and how many of the best intentions can backfire big time. A small wildfire of commentary followed! Thanks to everyone who shared a wide range of viewpoints. Certainly nothing can be closer to the heart than the fate of our offspring – besides [...]

Here’s a tip to help with your confidence level when you’re not really feeling it…simply, act it. That’s right, research says that if you can fake it, act confidently, for even just a few minutes, your brain will quickly catch up with your behavior and you’ll begin to FEEL confident.
So, next [...]

With the rise of stay at home dads, Einstein babies and hyper competition, being a kid today is radically different than it was a generation ago. As a parent, I have to say that I find the controlled environments and high expectations surrounding how to raise our children to be so different from when I [...]

All those pretzel-twisty yoga postures were designed by the ancient Vedic scholars to develop . . . the mind?
Maybe that’s a bit of a stretch (no pun intended). So, just for now, please set aside your ideas about what yoga is.
Now, grab a mental pen and write the number “1” on a fresh, blank [...]

I asked on my show this weekend…since it was Valentine’s Day…”do you remember your 1st kiss?” Interesting responses.

I actually don’t remember mine- guess it wasn’t very memorable. But, it would be nice if whoever was my first kiss found it to be more memorable than I did!

A woman phoned in and told of the [...]

This time of year, our thoughts turn to those that we hold dearest, yet sometimes we think more in the present, and less about the future. Unfortunately, that kind of thinking creates inaction, which could jeopardize those that we love most.  By taking a few critical estate planning steps, we might better protect our loved [...]

“Yeah, Pilates and Yoga, they’re pretty much the same. Great for tightening the flab!”
Is there really any difference? This is part one of a series about what yoga really is – – and what it isn’t.
Let’s start at the beginning, with a dialog with a fictitious new student:
“A lot about yoga seems contrived. [...]

Valentine’s Day pushes a hot button for many people. For women, expectations can run very high in their hopes to find romance and professions of love. The stakes are high for men too, as they feel the pressure to please their partner and meet these expectations.
Whether your single or part of a couple, resist the [...]

This month, let’s practice the upside of selfishness by remembering to put ourselves first! I’m sure when you were young, your mother undoubtedly taught you that being selfish was not a good thing. But..as in most things in life..there is an upside and a downside. The downside to selfish behavior is [...]

Ahhh Valentine’s Day, Love will be in the air.  I have to admit, I used to hate Valentine’s day, I used to wear black in protest calling it stupid.  However, I’ve softened in my old age and now look at the day of “love” a little differently.
For those of you with a hot date…on to [...]

Here’s something to ponder, “What is the best or worst advice you ever received?” That’s my Question of the Week. What comes first to your mind? For me, the very first thought I had…which doesn’t totally apply to this question, I realize, but I’m a believer in following your initial reaction…is [...]
