I recently spent four days alone in a rustic cabin on a bluff on the wild Washington coast. I worked on my novel, read, napped, did yoga, ate huge salads, sat in the sunshine, and watched eagles eat crab scavenged from the ocean’s edge. It was one of the most truly restful retreats I’ve ever savored. It wasn’t so long ago, however, that I would have taken this time to rest but instead....

You are in a mood right now. What mood is it? Check in with yourself. Moods prime us for certain actions and not others. Resignation and resentment are moods that point us toward giving up, blaming, slumped shoulders and limited options. Gratitude is a mood that points us toward softening, opening our eyes wide, and beginning to wonder with curiosity and love what we can create to give back,....

Are you the kind of person who watches the catwalks religiously and spends lots of money on what’s hot this season? Do you wear all your purchases or may I say investments. Your wardrobe is a reflection of who you are. However, if you spend lots on all those little catwalk numbers they are only going to be of any value to you if you wear them all. That Armani blouse, those Gucci shoes, even....

I spent the last 8 days just off Vancouver Island, British Columbia with my family; paddling kayaks, watching orcas spy hop, a bear eat crab, and sniffing drifting wood smoke. My sister and brother-in-law came along on our adventure and they both said, at different times, "We would never think to do something like this." We watched these harried city dwellers find the burnishing pleasure of....

It’s mid-afternoon and I’m feeling the itch to move my body, but instead I return phone calls, wipe the kitchen counter, sort my daughter Lilly’s school papers.

I find myself here about five or six times a year,....
