Refuel, Recharge, Relax

Refuel, Recharge, Relax

  I, too, enjoy being alone very often.  With the kids home from school, summers are not my time for refueling.  I do the typical Mommy-thing — run kids from one camp to the next: golf, dodgeball, basketball, more golf.  This summer, I not only ran them to camps, I decided to teach at one. While I’ve enjoyed these activities, especially sharing about Trust last week at Peace Village, I have to admit, I’m feeling a bit haggard. Tomorrow I officially begin to refuel. This is what refueling looks like to me: spa time enjoying the company of a wonderful Continue reading >>

Have I Been Able to Keep the Weight Off?

Introducing My Secret Sauce A few months ago I tried a weight loss program and lost the remaining weight my breast surgeon had encouraged me to lose.  (I had packed on a few pounds post mastectomy, and it was time to shed them.)  After completing the HCG Diet, I wrote a post entitled, “How I Lost My Last 14 Pounds.”  In it, I shared with you: how I lost those last pesky pounds the book I used to guide me through the program and most importantly (so you told me)…. I provided a day by day reading of my bathroom Continue reading >>

Goofy-Juice or Confidence?

No parent looks forward to their child going into surgery.  True, the surgery may be necessary and you may feel in your heart that it’s the right thing to do for your child, but the pure act of going into surgery is a bit unnerving. Each time my son has been wheeled away on the hospital bed, I’ve stood and watched his head grow smaller and smaller as he leaves my side, being carted down the hallway, until finally they turn a corner, out of sight.  Last week was no different. It begins the same every time.  Doctor’s appointments, followed Continue reading >>

Delicious Ambiguity and Perfectionism

Delicious Ambiguity and Perfectionism

As an extension to Monday’s post, “The Art of Managing Your Life (Or Not),” sometimes life is a bit ambiguous.  We don’t always know what we’re going to get.  Yet we Trust it will be something good.  Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity. ~ Gilda Radner And to the comments I received stating something to the effect of, “But Leslie, it’s so haaaaaaard to find the balance.  I could never just wander aimlessly, with no plan, and enjoy myself.  See, I’m Continue reading >>

The Art of Managing Your Life (Or Not)

“I find it fascinating that most people plan their vacations with better care than they plan their lives.  Perhaps that is because escape is easier than change.“  ~Jim Rohn   Do you plan out your day?  Your week?  Your month?  If so, how much do you plan?  How far do you take it?  I’ve known people who could easily have PhD’s in planning… from Harvard!, and others who wouldn’t know what a simple calendar looked like, much less how to use it, if it hit them up-side the head. So, where do I fit in?  Post PhD — I’m the Continue reading >>
