The miracle of integration

A couple of months ago a friend and I started working on vision boards.  I got distracted and left the pieces of mine sitting around, which made me feel kind of weird each time I saw it – like I was letting my vision languish.  This weekend I finally gathered all the pieces back up, …

The miracle of extraordinary love

Today I watched a TV show that got me thinking about Christopher Reeve. Or, to be more precise, thinking about one of the most extraordinary demonstrations of love that I have ever seen.

Back in my theatre days, I spent a summer as an intern at the Williamstown Theatre Festival in Massachusetts. It was an …

The miracle of friends who tell the truth

I think that one of the most loving gifts we can give to each other is the full, honest truth.  I don’t mean the kind of brings-you-to-your-knees tirades that pass for “truth” on reality television.  I mean the kind of truth that is spoken with love and honor for both the giver and the recipient.

The Miracle of Settlers of Catan

It’s late.  Really late.  I’m really tired…but it’s a great tired.  Spent the evening with good friends playing a board game called “The Settlers of Catan” that was SO. MUCH. FUN.

And now I must go to sleep.

The miracle of opening doors in my mind

I have been working very hard for the last couple of months on a project proposal to work with the military on a program for military spouses.  As is my habit, I’ve been eating, sleeping, breathing, thinking, and talking about almost nothing else for quite a while (well, I might have talked about a few

The miracle of a YUMMY body

If you’re familiar with my book Transforming Your Body Image, you know that it is the chronicle of my own journey from feeling “Fat and Ugly” to being okay with my body just as it is and helping others to do the same. I wrote there,

The miracle of coming in from the cold

It’s cold.  Really, really cold.  That won’t surprise anyone who lives in the northeast or has been watching the news.  I heard the number “37 below” go by at one point today.  That’s just too darn cold.

However I live in an apartment that is ALWAYS toasty warm.  I don’t have control over the thermostat, …
