The weather is turning cooler here in New England, and you can feel that fall is in the air. And you know what that means … the pumpkin flavored everything is everywhere? Yes, but more importantly,
NATIONAL NOVEL WRITING MONTH (NANOWRIMO) IS COMING!!
If you are new to NaNoWriMo, let me fill you in. In November every year, thousands (hundreds of thousands?) of brave people commit to write 50,000 words in one month.
People just like me.
And YOU.
Have you always wanted to write a book? Many people I meet do. Many have even started to but then, for whatever reasons that seem so important at the time, they don’t.
I used to be one of those people.
I was one of those people until 2010, when I discovered NaNoWriMo, and I wrote the first draft of my first book, a book that is now published. Keep reading

I am not sure when it happened, but at some point I realized that owls have special meaning to me. I love it when I notice them, and even more when they notice me.
Artemis, a saw-whet owl.
My husband and I took advantage of the Owl Prowl Series offered by The Center for Wildlife in York, Maine. About 35 people of all ages showed up for this talk even though it was only in the 30’s outside.
Lesson: Love of owls trumps cold weather.
It was held in a covered area, but we were still outside. I wished I had put on long underwear and that I had double-socked. Some people brought towels or blankets to sit on (those wood benches were cold!) but most of us just sucked it up and then forgot about the cold once the talk began and the ‘Owl Ambassadors’ came out to meet us. (Okay, full disclosure–my husband gave up his gloves for me to sit on … my bum was cold!!! 🙂 ) Keep reading

I used to be very active. Even though the closest studio was a bit of a hike for me to get to, I went to yoga several times a week. It wasn’t always an easy class, either, but I went.
Practicing yoga is one of my favorite ways to exercise, but somehow, I got a way from it. A series of small things occurred, not the least of which was my favorite yoga teacher (Kristen! I miss you!) moved several states away. And the less I exercised, the more I ate.
The more I ate, the smaller my yoga clothes got.
And the smaller my yoga clothes got, the less I wanted to go to yoga. Keep reading

I’ve talked about the spiritual practice of My One Word every year for many years, and this year is no different. Usually I am writing about it (it’s even in my most recent book, Honor Your Health, Chapter 19!) but this year I tried something different. I gave talks and workshops about it. I have challenged others to engage in this powerful process for themselves.
Often a word shows up to the party long after I have already ‘chosen’ my word. For 2019, a mere two days away, I had my word all picked out, and now it’s not that. This is actually the second time this happened this year! My list of contenders included: Keep reading
