My Word of the Year for 2015: Grace
Have you ever picked a Word of the Year instead of making New Year’s resolutions? I first heard of this idea through Christine Kane’s website several years ago. I guess it’s getting pretty popular these days. There are a lot of great resources out there now to help you pick and work with your special…

Easing Into the Transition
A confession: I think I’m falling in love with winter. It used to be my least-favorite season, but over the past couple of years I’ve learned to appreciate it more.

Aspirations or Inspirations?
Usually at this time of year, I start feeling motivated and excited to charge right into the new year. Last year I switched things up a bit, and decided to focus on intentions rather than goals.

The Joy of Lists
It’s a rainy day, and I’m doing some writing (how surprising!). While researching a bit of information for my e-book, something I knew I’d written about before on my blog, I came upon a post from 2009 that was made up of lists. Being a Virgo and having a strong love of lists, I figured…
