Angry, frustrated (maybe a bit disgusted) with myself. It wasn't even February and I'd already given up on my big resolutions/goals for the year. Yep, that used to be me (a bit embarrassing but it's what usually happened before I discovered the impo ...

Red in the face. Ashamed of the tears welling up into my eyes. I tried to not show how upset I was. It was the summer of 1989, and I was trying to convince my mom that I could handle a job that would require me driving into a not-so-great area of Ho ...

Did you know that 80% of people who set a New Year's resolution abandon it by the 2nd week of February (and a majority before the end of January)? [I know, right?] That's why I recommend you don't bother with a New Year's resolution, and instead do ...

My heart rate quickened as I heard the words I'd long waited for... "Congratulations, Heather. You're a partner!" I felt on top of the world. Until (about a day later) my head started spinning with all the added expectations and responsibilities that ...

Do this to reduce holiday stress

You know those people who put their Christmas trees up before Thanksgiving, play Christmas music non-stop and LOVE everything pumpkin? Yep, that's me (a bit embarrassing but true). I think I drive my family most c-r-a-z-y with all the (Time Life Trea ...

#1 Daily Habit For Happiness

November 23rd, 2021 at 8:00 am CST

In the fetal position, clutching my stomach in pain I heard my son Noah laugh. And I actually smiled. It was June 2012. Even though I only had 1 chemotherapy treatment left I was seriously considering NOT going (the pain didn't feel like it was worth ...
