Sometimes I set goals and then I forget about them, and never even take one tiny step toward reaching them. I can’t really explain this, but it just happens sometimes. On the other hand, sometimes I set goals and I have a one-track mind about reaching them (like that time I wrote 150 pages of …

I have a problem. Really, it’s not natural for one person to have so many email addresses. If I teach for six schools (or is it seven?), that means I have email logins and online classroom logins to remember for each of them (even the face-to-face classes are web enhanced). That causes me to have …
My grandparents and my Mom generously paid off my car for me for Christmas. I feel slightly guilty, but also extremely grateful and happy that it has made me 100% debt-free. I also have a plan for the next month, some not-so-sneaky maneuvers up my sleeve, that will get some other things going for me …
I’m lookin’ for something to look forward to. Why? Who knows? I’m already scheduled to go to Disney in June (and yes, I know, I watched the movie where the people in 3rd world countries were making the Disney t-shirts and could have fed their families for weeks on what one shirt sells for. I …

I wanted to talk about focus—which is something I can be really good at sometimes (like when I want something…a Ph.D., an infrared sauna…). I suppose you could also …
Focus……too much or too little? ….or too scattered? WHAT? Read More »
I have a short story to tell you…. I love raw plant-based food…..and I also love cheese and wine and bread (and pizza and ice cream and chocolate…). One time, a woman told me that she’d love to be the type of person who craves an apple for dessert. Me too! I have visions of …
I’m not a fan of resolutions, possibly because I am terrible at upholding them. I think it’s a common issue with our society for us to choose something to improve about ourselves and then to do it all at once….only to fail all at once shortly thereafter. In the past, I’ve tried this all-or-nothing approach …
“We are always fighting. We are fighting for the job, we’re fighting for the relationship, we’re fighting our partner or parents to be a certain way, we’re fighting to maintain our fixed agendas. We’re fighting to get people to understand us, we’re fighting to get our body a certain way, we’re fighting to make money, …
