Keeping Your Calm

I lost my calm this weekend. Along with it, my Coach wristlet, license, credit card, camera and favorite lip gloss vanished into thin air. In a time when identity theft and other unsavory crimes are abundant, there’s a nakedness in losing important bits of plastic. I’m heading to the DMV today…

Making Priorities a Priority

It’s been awhile since I sat down and took stock of my priorities. I feel like I’ve been swept up by life’s demands and have done little to anchor myself. I don’t know about you, but I have a tendency to get overwhelmed by my ambition. When I think about all the things I want to do, all the places I want to see and all the people I want to meet—I lose sight…
