    If you would have told me over a year ago that my life would include daily beach walks, writing in cafes, and only about 3-5 appointments per week, I would have said "That's a dream." But I'm living the dream.

    Every summer, our family takes a vacation to a lakeside cottage in Maine.  Usually it’s my family of four plus my parents, who love to join us as we leave the world behind.  There’s no stress here.  No worries about work, schedules or deadlines.  And beyond the breathtaking landscape, what really makes the trip so enjoyable...

    Have you ever had one of those days when the world aligned and you managed to find time and energy for tasks you had never planned to do that day?

    That has been my day today.

    It started out as what my Living Peace colleague Susan would call “Money Monday” i.e. paying bills, running payroll, doing next month’s financial...

    My fortune cookie the other night said, "Failing to plan is planning to fail." 

    One of my ongoing life lessons is that what I want to happen doesn't just happen.  I can't wish something into existence.  Believe me, I've tried.  Weight loss.  Cleaner house.  Less debt. ...
