This is a guest post from my dear friend Tiffany Fox who occassionally blogs at A Blessing and a Curse. I’m hoping that this will inspire her to blog again because as you can see, this girl can really write. Thanks TFox for contributing to October’s Word of the Month. This year I decided to…
This is a guest post from my dear friend and teacher, Victoria Castle. Victoria is the founder of Necessary Mischief, which focuses on spirited engagement for our collective well-being. She is a leadership coach, author, Master Somatic Coach and all-around fascinating and enlightening woman. For a quick dose of Victoria and what’s she’s all about…
I’m turning myself in. I’m admitting it. I suck at following rules of etiquette. I wish I was the friend that sent a handwritten birthday and holiday card every year. Hell, I just missed my sweet niece’s 8th birthday. I eventually sent a gift, but really, that blows. There are two wedding gifts that I…
I think the Universe was trying to send me a message yesterday. First it was a Facebook post by the wonderfully inspiring Amber at Amber’s Fitness. She posted the below video and it stuck with me all day long. [PLEASE NOTE: I dislike the violence of boxing. However, I tolerate it in trade for the…
I haven’t been writing lately. I think between my drunken awareness trip to Palm Springs, the wonderfully lovely (and drunkenly) birthday celebrations and the general craziness of summer, I just haven’t dedicated the time to writing.

I am challenged. It is so in my face right now, but I know how to meet it head on. You may know about my love for Jazzercise. How it met me in pudgy darkness and brought me into the dancing light with my soul singing. Well, not really that poetic, but it feels really…
Ok look, I’m just getting in the groove of being back at my desk and off vacation mode. Typically, I like to post about books on Monday and I’m running a day behind. So bare with me. Thanks. Some wonderful blogger in my Facebook feed said something like, “run out and get this book, now.” …
I wanted to share this great piece of Mommy wisdom that I just recently learned from another mother. And it turns out it’s out in the interwebby world, I just hadn’t come across it yet. So I’m here to share the goodness. It’s just such a damn fine solution that I wanted to pass it…
There are sometimes in my life that I am a mockery of myself. I can be both disgusted and amused. Yeah, I’m talking about the drop off line at kindergarten. You know where you pull up and you’re sitting there as one of 12 family vans. Five of the same color. (I call my color…
