  • How Many Mondays?…

    Today the moon will pass in front of the sun to create a total eclipse. It is an historic day. Although I’m not far from the “path of totality,” local commitments keep me away from that complete experience. Still, I’ll dig out the glasses and take a glance at my own darkening sky. Other than…

  • What’s the Big Idea?…

    Somehow the little things get taken care of. The cooking gets done, the dishes, the laundry without scheduling uninterrupted chunks of time. Sure, my house is not sparkling and we eat a lot of salad (no complaints here, fresh veggies and homemade dressing, yes, please). My paper and digital files are a mess, but our…

  • It’s the Little Things…

    It is often the little things that keep us from accomplishing the big things. Have you seen the object lesson with two equal jars and piles of stones, pebbles and sand? If you pour the sand first into one jar, then the pebbles, there will be no room for the stones. Now place the other,…

  • Response Ability…

    What are you giving to your world? What are you receiving in return? There’s a connection, you know. Years ago, I saw a skit that involved women carrying buckets filled to the brim with an attitude unique to each one. Life took over, the world bumped into them, and their contents spilled. What a memorable…

  • Good and Plenty…

    Abundance mentality is one of my guiding ELAN Principles. It does not mean to seek greedy gains, but rather to celebrate gifts that are freely given and to respond in kind. It is the opposite of the fear-based view of scarcity urging you to hoard that which you deem finite. Pay attention. Look for gifts…

  • Boom Boom Day…

    Today is a Boom Boom Day. Many moving pieces and parts will fit together in a perfect ballet of be there, prepare for this, don’t forget, smile, greet, learn and travel to and fro. At least that’s the plan. I have the honor of hosting Best Selling Author Zibby Owens at a local book event.…

  • The Lone Writer…

    Writing is a lonely act. Struck by inspiration, we choose to make something of it or move on and forget the flash of brilliance, all alone. No one holds my hand while I turn jotted notes into blog entries or scenes for a short story or novel. It is my ten fingers poking at the…
