Last January, I made a New Year’s Resolution to stay on top of my household chores by using a weekly cleaning schedule. I printed the schedule out, stuck it on a bulletin board in the bathroom, and promptly forgot all about it. By January 2, I had already failed. Resolutions are like that sometimes. Good intentions falling flat. As a women’s fitness specialist, I see this most often with diet…
As I ponder a few goals for this year and try to decide on my One Word, I started working on a “More and Less” list. Things I want to do more of and things I want to let go of a little. It seems like a non-threatening way to tiptoe my way into 2016. Here’s what I have so far… – More tea, less wine. – More grace, less…
We’re halfway through February, so I thought it would be a good time to see how I’m doing on my 2015 goals. I would love to hear how you’re doing with yours too. Any goal worth working towards requires periodic reevaluation. What am I doing well? What am I completely avoiding? Where can I improve? Here’s where I stand so far this year. 1.

I’ve never been much for New Year’s Resolutions. Mostly because they are usually about trying to stop doing something. And when I tell myself to stop doing something, I just want to do that thing.

I think the reason for that is I tend to go overboard on the whole thing. I dream big dreams, make grand plans and then a few weeks later I feel like a failure. So this year, I’m going…
I feel like I have a million ideas running through my head at any given minute of the day, so I have started to write them down in my journal. Getting ideas on paper quiets my mind (for the moment at least), and gets me motivated toward acting on them. Here are 5 things that I want to do this year… 1. Continue to improve my food photography. As I…
It’s that time of year again. Christmas is over, a new year is coming, and everyone is talking about making resolutions. I’m sure you will read many posts this week about how to make the right resolutions and how not to break them. I’m here to tell you not to make any resolutions at all. That’s right, no resolutions. No, “I will eat healthier this year!” No, “I’m going to…
