Merry Christmas from these two characters. Apparently, they’re just getting started; because love is way over the top. They’re resolved, though. Love and hugs … and the Merriest Christmas ever! … More
It’s important to come “home” again …
I’ve exercised religiously for almost 35 years; but on rare occasions, I’ve interrupted my habit. Sometimes the proverbial baby wakes up crying, and we don’t wonder what to do; we just do it. We’re honored to do it! But when the cries subside, it’s important to come home again, where love begins, where it’s nurtured and readied for re-launch.
I’m grateful to be “home” again, to be jogging again, and to be ready if the baby wakes up crying. Really grateful!

Always another “duh” in the quiet of your mind …
Yesterday while I was jogging I had a little “duh,” realizing that Sam is less practical than I am in cooking for two.
This year we’ll be home for Christmas dinner, just the two of us. I was thinking of something easy that I could prepare ahead of time, like the crab bisque with fresh fruit that I have planned for Christmas Eve. Well, Sam wants to grill special-ordered grass-fed beef. He wants potatoes and sautéed asparagus, and a salad. And when I asked what he wanted for dessert, he said chocolate cake … with raspberry filling and chocolate ganache, like you made that one time.
It was while I was jogging, in that quieted-mind state, that I remembered last year. Sam wanted to cook for us while we were in the Bahamas for Christmas. He made stuffed lobster, veggies, and a salad … and presented them beautifully!
We both care about presentation and a peaceful atmosphere; and we both work for them. The difference: Sam is better at enjoying the “work!” I still prefer to do the “work” ahead of time, so I can relax.
Hmmm … maybe it’s tougher to enjoy what we do routinely. But I just got better at it!… More
Share the power …
Personal responsibility is empowerment. Let’s seize ours AND trust others with theirs.
The most beautiful gift we can give somebody is knowing them enough to love and trust them. And sometimes that means helping them to know themselves … enough to love and trust themselves.
Let’s love them, rather than rob them.… More
Satisfied, But Still Excited!
If you can help your sweetheart to venture out of his/her comfort zone, instead of feeding his fear, and his ego, you’ll be a true hero!
You’ll also have a very satisfied, but still excited, sweetheart! … More
My first priority is always the same …
When my first priority is being true to myself, the others will be revealed. I’ll know what comes next, and next, and next–whether I’m planning a Monday, a vacation, or a career. … More
