“We are always getting ready to live, but never living.” – Ralph Waldom Emerson When I found this quote recently, I found the truth in it. I’ve spent many a day planning for when my life would begin. At work, I’m going to write that press release after I just answer a few more emails. [...]

I recently got this forward from my mom, and thought it was worth sharing and saving: A lecturer when explaining stress management to an audience, raised a glass of water and asked   ”How heavy is this glass of water?” Answers called out ranged from 20g to 500g. The lecturer replied, “The absolute weight doesn’t mattter.  It [...]

I haven’t felt much like myself lately. I’ve felt disconnected, lost, and overwhelmed. Sometimes I feel like maybe I feel more than other people – not in a bipolar way, but more in the sense that when I need a release, I really need the release. When I get hurt, I really get hurt. And [...]

“You don’t have to like change to take advantage of it,” says Seth Godin. Change is hard. Whether I want to lose 10 pounds, give up diet coke, or just make my day-to-day life more managable, it’s HARD.

For someone with few friends, and a small family, and an increasingly large job, I seem to be an incredibly busy person. I think its mostly because of how many things I *want* to do – things that I’m constantly collecting information about, that are always getting transferred from to-do list to to-do list. I [...]

I discovered a new kind of fear today – I logged into GoodReads, and it said “currently reading – nothing!” I’ve never been reading “nothing!” in my life. Help please! Recommend a book – quick!
