Why You Need A Travel Bucket List

My friend Lois Alter Mark wrote an article for Forbes about travel bucket lists and quoted me about the importance of writing down your goals and how creating a bucket list can actually make you accomplish them. Here’s what she has to say on the topic – (To view the […]


What Are You Yearning For?

What is yearning? It is the call of our soul to lead us to our right path. Whenever we are following this yearning it leads to feeling good. When we feel good, more good happens. When we are on the right path we likely will find that we treat ourselves […]


Silence Is Golden

When I was young I felt the need to fill any quiet moment of time with my talking. I was a chatterbox. I would follow my mother around the house when I got home from school everywhere she went, telling her each detail of my day, moment by moment. The […]

Rushing. I have been recently reading the book, “The Artist’s Way” by Julia Cameron. In this book she helps people move beyond their blocks to either discover or rediscover their creativity. It gives the opportunity for some good self-reflection. I often find an overwhelming sense of rushing present. I have […]


Who’s Your “Everybody”?

I was walking yesterday, in the beautiful fall weather here in Vermont, and was thinking about the upcoming talk on stress that I am doing later this week at the Rutland Regional Medical Center. I was going through the list of stress factors for the presentation and got to our […]

Deeply Sweet

Turkeys

Don’t Be A Turkey! No, On Second Thought, Be A Turkey!

It is late in the year and something a bit different is occurring in nature in our area. We are seeing more wild animals than usual and it is because there is less of their natural food available in the woods. There are few acorns or beechnuts from the trees, […]
