Giving Back in Our Small Way

Most of us find ways great and small to give back to our circle, whether simply helping within your extended family or in our wider communities. Or, maybe we take on the great big world. Although there are so many places to give this year right here in our hometowns, I find myself drawn to [...]
A Place for Everything.
Posted in Journaling, organization on October 14, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
And everything in its place. Recently, I listened to an excellent audio book on organization techniques. David Allen’s “Getting Things Done” could be pegged the “One Minute Manager” for how we work today. Part of his message has to do with the impact of clutter on our productivity, in the context of our ramped-up information [...]
Recipe Photo Albums

The days of the big, overstuffed collection of family recipes in a three-ring binder might be numbered. Modern cooks call the help line on the turkey wrapper in Thanksgiving panic (been there!), or Google up directions for “Cornbread Dressing” online.

Recently I decided to lose ten pounds. Let’s just say it’s been a bit of a stop-start campaign, not exactly the barn-burner we were looking for. Maybe I should keep a food diary or diet journal. This is not a new trick, but lately it’s backed up with new numbers: you could lose twice the [...]

Got a great trip ahead? Pack your iPod, but pack a trip journal kit for a creative low-tech diversion. Pack a blank book, watercolor pencils, small scissors, markers, a glue stick, and other creative tools (declare anything in your carry-on that is a gel or liquid if you go through airport security). Glue an envelope [...]
Eat, Pray, Love, Journal.

I’m deep into the book many of you have read already, Eat Pray Love, the bestselling personal memoir by Elizabeth Gilbert (Penguin). The book, a triptych about a spiritual journey, charts the author’s exploration of three different aspects of her nature: pleasure in Italy, devotion in India, and earthly and spiritual balance in Indonesia.
Dancing with Myself.
Posted in Uncategorized on March 9, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Years ago in ballroom dance lessons, my instructor said that partner dancing done well is actually two deftly linked solo acts. “Memorize your part independently; without your partner,” he explained. So, next, he got me to practice a rhumba box step, solo. Trust me, it didn’t look anything like that semi-hot scene in Dirty Dancing [...]
