Status. An invisible force underlying all of our human interactions. I was struck recently as I realized the ease with which I interacted with another human. As a new business owner I generally feel shy and overwhelmed interacting with others in my business capacity because there is so much that I don't know. The lack [...]
I am hijacking my own blog (can I do that???) to tell you about the book that I just published. If you read my blog regularly, I allude occasionally to what I'm up to these days. To fill in the gaps, since June I have been filling my time with all sorts of different tasks [...]
Worry: "To torment oneself with or suffer from disturbing thoughts; fret." ~ Dictionary.com. If you can take action to fix the problem, worrying may be worthwhile. If it has already happened and you cannot do anything differently, why torment yourself with worry? Learn from it and move on.
I have been making this egg nog occasionally around the holidays for a few years now. It's a nice treat, whether you are avoiding dairy or not. The recipe (linked) includes cloves, but doesn't say when to add them. I put them in while heating the milk and it works fine.

Many decisions could be made. Or not. You don't have to decide what your next race will be. (You just will not do one if you don't). You don't have to decide how much to offer on a home. You can stay where you are or find another place to rent. You don't have to [...]
I go to a weight lifting class called Group Power. It is just like Body Pump, and both appear in different gyms throughout the country. I love it! It's an hour long class, and each workout has the same sequence through 10 choreographed songs. It starts with a warm up, then a squat track, then [...]
I recently had the opportunity to volunteer at a local ski sale. This is a community event for anyone to drop off their outdoor gear that they would like to sell. They set the price, and if it sells, they receive 75% of the profit. The remaining 25% is split between the ski club and [...]
I am fortunate in that I haven't had problems with cramping (probably because I don't work hard enough for cramps), but someone asked me recently about tips to avoid cramping. I didn't have a good answer, but of course once it was on my mind I have noticed different articles and tips about cramping. There [...]
