September 4th, 2012 August 24th, 2012 Getting Fit With a 15 Minute Workout – Start with a 5 or 10 Minute Workout
Now you know that even a short workout will give tangible benefits. Why not start with 5 minutes a day? (Well, of course, you’ll check first with your doctor if you have any health concerns at all.) Add minutes in a week or two, but just get started. Make up your own little workout, say marching in place for 3 minutes and stretching for another 2 minutes. Or perhaps you could do 2 minutes of leg exercises, 2 minutes of ab exercises, and 1 minute of walking. This list of starting workouts should get you toned and graceful in no time, well make that 5 -15 minutes a day!

June 18th, 2012 Could a Small Change Help You to Arrive on Time?
Sometimes a simple, small change can have a big impact on an outcome. Recently, I found that in the tug of war between my to-do list and my getting to places on time, the to-do list was winning. I was continually trying to squeeze in one last task before I left for an appointment. Inevitably, I would have to scramble in order to barely arrive on time, or even a moment late.
June 8th, 2012 Giving Up for Happiness
One common thought in the pursuit of happiness is the thought that once we get something, we’ll be happy. How many times have you had that mindset? … Once I get my college degree, I’ll be happy … When I have my own house, I’ll be happy … I would be so happy if I had that red dress … If I had a nicer car, I’d be happy… If I had a better job, I’d be happy … I would really be happy if I had a slimmer body …
May 25th, 2012 Are You Still Waiting for Your Dream?
Although I did not realize it until the sign gave me the perspective, in many ways I have been waiting for the perfect time and available money when I could sort of wave a magic wand and make my entire home beautiful, artistic, and wonderfully decorated.

March 10th, 2012 Learning the Skill of Clearing Clutter
Over the last year or so of earnestly clearing clutter from my home, I’ve learned a few things. The most recent came as a revelation of what should have been obvious to me all along: clearing clutter is a skill, not an inborn talent or trait. It’s something everyone can learn, if they really want to. The skills of clearing clutter are not what I expected, though. I expected to learn how to neatly stack things on shelves, and how to get organized, as well as how to get rid of clearly useless things. Yes I am learning these expected things, but I have learned much deeper, and much more powerful skills. I’ll briefly share them here – you can read more explanation in the full article.
January 27th, 2012 You Can Learn Prosperity
We can learn to face the large fears and to make the large changes by simply beginning to find the courage to begin changing the small things in life that we are tolerating. I realized from this that reaching goals, becoming prosperous, and leading a simple, joyful life are really just learned skills and habits.
