As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, re-reading “A New Earth” by Eckhart Tolle has brought me so many new insights. Towards the end of the book, he introduces the concept of the “Three Modalities of Awakened Doing”. They are acceptance, enjoyment, and enthusiasm. In yesterday’s post I gave my VERY layman’s rundown of acceptance. In… Continue reading Enjoyment

Acceptance
As I mentioned last week, I recently re-read A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle. I first read it four years ago and it really shifted the way I view my everyday life. While re-reading it, I was reminded of how much better my life feels when I live in sync with the principles presented in the… Continue reading Acceptance
A New Earth
If I had to point to the book that changed the way I see the world for the better, it would be A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle. I found this book four years ago, when we were moving my stepson to college. It was the day we moved him into the dorms, and my husband… Continue reading A New Earth

For those who already love to spend… Continue reading Football is Here!

Whether You Believe You Can Do It Or Not- You’re Right
I swear that my Thursday spin instructor is part workout guru and part motivational speaker. Somehow she pedals at amazing speeds, calls out fun chorography, all while dropping inspirational messages. So many of her little nuggets have stuck with me long after I’ve left the studio. And what she said today really struck a chord.… Continue reading Whether You Believe You Can Do It Or Not- You’re Right
Consistent Gratitude
For most of us, gratitude is conditional. It’s easier to be grateful when you are on vacation than when the alarm goes off on Monday morning. But what if we looked for gratitude in our lives, no matter the circumstances? Like those people that always look for a problem, but completely flipped. And… Continue reading Consistent Gratitude
Five Years Sober
Today is pretty big day in my book. It’s my fifth year of sobriety. To me, this is huge. I love celebrating milestones, and this one feels exceptionally important. I’ve shared my story on this blog before, and if you’re interested, you can read about my experience here. I won’t bore you with the… Continue reading Five Years Sober
