Women know better than anyone what it feels like to carry around a big, heavy purse for any length of time. And if you're like me, such a bag is usually necessary to bring along all the things I need for my children and my own indulgences. Though physically we can handle extra weight (for awhile), we are not meant to carry around emotional baggage. What am I talking about? You know....really, you do. That job crisis you had last year; the fight you had with your husband; the breast cancer scare from three years ago; the rejection from sixth grade...

OK, just so we get this straight, I never promised you a rose garden. Redoing or using a second chance to make something right isn't always full-proof. It could take several.

It's one thing to come up with a great plan to lead you to victory, but it's another to work that plan and keep it a priority. Being accountable to another person or group of people is one way to increase your chances of success.

I remember my mom dragging me into a building that might as well have been hell itself, as far as I was concerned. It was just pre-school, however. I screamed all the way to my seat

New Year = New You...Right? Spring-boarding off of yesterday's post about self-renewal, let's talk about some physical things you can do to truly create a better, healthier you in the upcoming months.

Well, today I want to look at one of the best wellness tips you are ever going to read on this site:

Today's world bombards us with pictures of the perfect life. Most of which are not even fair to be promoted as ideals - illusions at best.

Perspective; oh, so important, yet so hard to achieve! We can become so ego-centric, as we get busy with life, to-do-lists, and so forth. I am someone who can put herself in other people's shoes. Most of the time.

There is a word that many women tend to avoid when it comes to their health endeavors: Accountability. What exactly does it mean, anyway? It means that you don't get to slack off privately.

A woman's day is filled with opportunities. We give, receive, love, hate; we choose in which direction our lives go; we seek truth or we settle for less. It's up to us to find true joy and fulfillment.

“The future is not a result of choices among alternative paths offered by the present, but a place that is created--created first in the mind and will, created next in activity. The future is not some place we are going to, but one we are creating.”

This week has been one of soul-searching and self-examination...no, not the breast kind. I've been seeking to understand myself in a greater way- the inside person who drives the bus, so to speak. It's not all glory and gum drops you see. It's been a tough journey of realizing that I have a ton of work to do.

Recently, I have noticed as I give more attention to the needs of my internal systems, some of the aches and pains I thought to be "normal" aging have disappeared; you bet, I'm grateful. Oh, Happy Day!

I wanted to start sharing some of my favorite blogs with you on a weekly basis. It's likely that I spend way too much time on the Internet these days, but I can't stop exploring for the best women's blogs out there. This week's favorite is my friend Suzanne's blog, Without Dash.

Your cruising along on the highway; suddenly, you realize that you left your laptop on the kitchen table. "You, dumb ass!" slips from your lips and you veer off at the next exit to retrieve the Power Point presentation that would surely land you favor (even a promotion) at work.
