Valentine’s Day was pretty special this year. Not only did I launch my new blog and web site, but I made sure to do something nice for myself . When I found out that Deepak Chopra was presenting on the Path to Love at ABC Carpet & Home, I couldn’t miss it. I don’t think I’ve ever been this close… Read More
A Healthy Treat for Valentine’s Day: Peppermint Patties
I have BIG news today, but first, in the interest of Valentine’s Day, a super-simple, healthy treat for all you chocolate and mint lovers out there (and I know there are lots!) Chocolate and mint is hands-down my favorite flavor combination and I used to swear by York Peppermint Patties. So when I tasted the vegan Peppermint Patties by Rockin’… Read More
Fifteen Ways to Fall in Love
Happy Valentine’s Day! Today is the day many of us celebrate love. So often, that love is focused externally, on a relationship with someone else. I remember a time, not so long ago, when I was running around trying to find that perfect love to celebrate on February 14. Little did I know, I was searching too far. That love… Read More

Make Like a Turtle and …
Miss me? If you’re wondering where I’ve been, I was on a beautiful, restful vacation! Hence my blogging took a short hiatus. I admit it — I used to be one of those people who never shut down. Every vacation away from the office meant I was still tied to my Blackberry and even though my out of office responder… Read More
Jailing Judgment: Judging My Own Health
I’m on the homestretch of the Inner Mean Girl (IMG) Cleanse and this week was all about jailing judgment. I’ll admit, I got off to a slow start with this one. Judgment comes naturally to me. Like breathing, it just feels right. The truth is, I judge myself all the time and recent life events have really tested this toxin…. Read More
Parking the Perfectionist
Week 4 of the Inner Mean Girl Cleanse was a no-brainer for me. I’m a recovering perfectionist and although agreeing with myself not to be perfect often gnaws at me, I live a fulfilling life knowing I’m working smarter and getting more of the things I love accomplished rather than working harder at being perfect. Sure, there are those things… Read More
Obligation in Overdrive: Puttin’ the Brakes On
Fall is in full swing and life has been busy lately causing me to neglect this blog more than I care to admit. I wish I could say the same about my Inner Mean Girl (IMG)! Now way! She’s been out in full force this week challenging me to feel snowed under in obligation. If you missed my summary posts… Read More
Kickin’ Comparison to the Curb
Week two of the Inner Mean Girl (IMG) Cleanse has come and gone. I’ll be the first to admit, the past week has been a busy one for me and I wasn’t as present to the cleanse this week as I had been during Week 1 when gossip was the goner (I’m still working this one by the way). But… Read More
