What is your relationship with time? I must confess I’ve often had a challenging relationship with time. Being women 50 and over wisdom suggests NOW is a great time to re-evaluate our personal “mental model” of time so that we can choose one that works for us and our well-being.
The times in my life when I thought I [...]
Have you ever noticed that when you ask for something it often shows up, except not in the package you expected?!! Last week my post was about calming, and I provided a basic introduction to breathing for stress reduction (See below). Guess what, the more I focused on my breathing, the more I noticed how [...]
As we discussed holiday traditions and the joy and challenges that can be associated with them in the last Divas Dive In teleclass, I was reminded of the importance of compassion.
