I felt a hint of autumn’s approach for the first time yesterday morning. As I drove to work, I noticed the sky was darker than usual. It caught me by surprise, especially since the weather will stay warm here in Raleigh for a little while longer. A change in seasons always provides an opportunity for reflection…
Hello sweet souls. I hope you’re feeling refreshed, rejuvenated & ready to take on a brand new week. I’m quite chipper today after trying out my new attitude for Sunday afternoons. A special thanks to those of you who entered last week’s giveaway. Your comments and to-do’s were so inspiring, I borrowed a few for my Creative Weekend To-Do List…
Sunday Overwhelm usually strikes in the mid-afternoon—right around the time when I realize that my alarm is set at 6:00 am the next day, and the hustle and bustle of another week is just around the corner. The magic of creative weekends is replaced with stress. I worry about to-do’s usually ignored and left to the last hour—laundry, grocery shopping and paying bills…
Today’s been a relaxing retreat from the typical hustle and bustle of my weekly grind. After sleeping a whopping 11 hours last night, I woke up feeling refreshed and grateful to have no plans for the day. Since I don’t have a batch of creative to-do’s in my back pocket, I thought I’d share a few of yours…
Happy Friday. I hope you’ve enjoyed a blissful week. Mine was quite full, but very rewarding. My 32 Days of Sparkle are still underway, and I’m thrilled about Giveaway #3!! This week’s goodies are from a talented group of creative souls. Be sure to leave a comment (or two) soon, all entries must be in by Sunday, Aug 29nd at 8:00 pm EST…

We have the opportunity to cultivate our personal growth through intentions, thoughts and actions. When we open our hearts and lean into life, our days begin to fill with sparkle…
It’s important to pause and evaluate a day’s work, to recognize when enough action items are complete, and acknowledge when it’s time to power off. Life has been clicking away at a beautiful pace lately, and I feel fortunate to have stimulating projects to work on in my career at the office and in my web work at home…

Hello friends, I hope you’re starting off your weeks with sparkle and joy! I want to extend a special thanks to those of you who entered my second 32 Days of Sparkle Giveaway last week. It was nice to “meet” a few of you for the first time, and reading your favorite quotes was a real treat…
Tonight’s agenda is simple—snuggle up on the couch, rehydrate my tired body with tea & sparkling water, and enjoy the huge stack of new magazines on my coffee table. After a weekend-long birthday bash for my mister, I am in need of some relaxation…
