…or a pedicure. Or a workout. Or any other thing that you do that demonstrates self-care. I know we are living in challenging times, but that doesn’t mean that you should neglect your needs or what makes you happy. Last week I went for my first haircut in 5 months. The week before (or the week before that…I honestly can’t remember!) my first pedi. How you look affects how you feel. And how you feel effects how you relate to others (and how they relate to you). So why not put your best foot forward? Plus,it just feels good to pamper yourself, every once in a while…even during a pandemic. (Dare I say especially during a pandemic?!) Have a beautiful Monday and week!

“I am…” Consider how powerful these words are. What you think or say after them shapes your reality. Really. The more you think or speak something, the more you believe it, and the more true it becomes. So, it begs the question…How do you do you want to finish your “I am..” statement? Don’t think about how others – your friends, family or anyone else in your life – may have finished it in the past. Think about how you would describe you at your best. This could be the “you” that you are today or the "you" that you are growing into. Complete the sentence with something powerful and inspiring. Repeat it often. Own it. Notice what shifts for you and your relationship with others. Remember, you are what you think you are. Here’s to a week of positive .

As I examine my to-do list this morning, I realize that sometimes things take longer than I expect them to – or longer than I’d like them to. Instead of getting all crazy about it, I’ve learned to appreciate that sometimes slow and steady wins the race. I’ve discovered that small, consistent steps still create forward motion which generates progress. And progress builds self-confidence and allows for a more empowered way of being. Bottom line…I’ve stopped judging the size of my steps and how long it takes me to make them. Instead I embrace the progress I’ve made and the direction I’m headed. What might change for you if you re-framed your relationship with your to-do list and the steps you take? Holler if you’d like help moving forward and breaking down your bigger goals into bold-yet-manageable-bites. Here’s wishing you a productive and positive week!

For many of us, the events of the last four months have given us cause to pause and contemplate a new normal. Sure, this speaks to how work and play, but what about how we live? Perhaps the silver lining - and the unintended takeaway - for many of us is an opportunity to slow down and simplify. How might your life, your relationships, and your overall well-being shift if this were to become your new normal? Why not give it a try??OpportunityoftheWeek

A beautiful weekend, with opportunity for long strolls in the city I love. I was soooo happy to see people enjoying the out-of-doors! But in my travels, I noticed that some were playing loose and fast, not wearing masks (or wearing them as “chin guards”), standing very close together in large groups. I get the urge. This season of seclusion has felt like an eternity. But for my friends: we are seeing the lowest reported cases and death tolls since the pandemic peak. AND we are fi-nal-ly in Phase 2. Pleassseee…let’s not screw this up! For all: If you think you can’t be bothered with a mask or you don’t have to practice social distancing, think again. Don’t just do it for yourself. Do it for your family. Do it for your friends. Do it for your community. Best wishes for a healthy, happy, and safe week~

As our issues become more complex, I find my message becomes more straightforward. It all boils down to this: Love each other. Here's what that looks like...Be open-minded. Being kind. Listen and seek to understand. Empathize and show compassion. Help out where you can. Make it a habit, not just when it’s comfortable or convenient. Always. If we all start form a place of love, together we can move forward and create very different future than the one we are living in. Let's do this...

Is your smile getting tired? Even the happiest among us may be starting to grow weary. If you have the ability to make someone else smile, do it. A nice message or a good dead may be all that is needed to help someone start their week off on the right foot. What’s more, they may be inspired to do the same. The added bene here is that making someone else smile isn't just a generous act, it uplifts you as well. Here’s to a week of kind words, generous gestures and smiles all around!

Anybody else handle stress by going into “busy” mode? This is my usual default, so I know it all too well. Ordinarily keeping my mind “over” occupied is a good thing. However sometime last week, I realized this was no longer serving me well. (Too many less-than-restful nights and wayyy too many sweets!) So, this past weekend I took an intentional time out. I unplugged from my phone and stepped away from the computer. I spent less time “doing” and more time “being.” I rested, recharged and rediscovered what a difference a little digital distancing can make. I woke up this a.m. “lighter” and mentally ready to reconnect. I've got more pep in my step...so much so, that I am recommitting to myself that every week (in or out of quarantine) will include some time for a digital detox. Let me ask you…when was the last time you unplugged? I mean reaallllly unplugged? It may seem counter-intuitive during this time of seclusion, but we still need a time out, free of digital devices. May you find some time this week to unplug and unwind.

It is amazing how much pressure we put on ourselves to get “stuff” done. Even now, during this season of seclusion. Let us not forget that these are difficult times and we are all doing our best to navigate uncharted waters. What’s more, many of us are still struggling to find our center. What would it look like if today you intentionally hit the “pause” button to luxuriate not only in your accomplishments, but also your efforts forward? This means not celebrating not just the destination, but also the journey. When you show appreciation for even your smallest of steps, you show appreciation for yourself. I can’t imagine a better way to ease into the week!

: Welcome to week four. Or is it week five? Sure, some of have settled into a new norm, but others are struggling on multiple levels. If ever there was a time to be good to one another, the time is now. Be helpful. Be kind. Make a difference in someone else’s life. Remember, you do not have to be rich to be generous.

: The pandemic is no joke. Like many of you, I watch the world news every night and fight back the tears. It's heartbreaking. But in addition to a good cry (or two) over the last few weeks, I cannot tell you how many times I’ve laughed out loud. Serious belly laughs. Between the hysterical posts of FB/IG, the standup comedy specials on Netflix, and the sheer insanity of waiting in line to buy cleaning supplies, I’ve found myself with a case of the giggles. And it’s actually a good thing. There’s a reason why they say laughter is the best medicine. It decreases stress hormones and triggers the release of endorphins. It helps to keep us on an even keel. What’s more, it’s contagious (in a good way). So please keep posting and sharing the funnies…because we if ever there was a time we needed a good laugh, the time is now. Stay healthy. Stay home. Stay humorous (smile).

Keeping it light this Monday a.m. as I suspect this week we are in for more of an emotional roller. I am finding that it is more important than ever to continue my daily rituals. And, yes, this does include a good cup of coffee (a soymilk latte of my own creation) and the right shade of lipstick. Both are part of many (seemingly) little things that are helping me to feel grounded during this unsettling time. How about you? What daily rituals are helping you maintain a sense of normalcy during these abnormal times? I’d welcome the share but, in the meantime, send warm wishes for a healthy and happy week. Stay well. Stay home. Stay sane.
