Do you think of your body the way you think of your car? When a few lucky individuals acquire a sports car that boasts of the best automotive engineering available today, watch them read the maintenance manuals religiously. They take their car for inspection even if it purrs like a kitten and take it for repairs as soon as something does not feel right. And they’re very concerned. That car is their most prized possession, a symbol of all the long and hard hours they put on the jo... more...

I have 2 young boys. The oldest is in Kindergarten. A couple of months ago my eldest had a field trip with his class to go skating at a rink. Now, in his short life, he had never skated before ; )... but, as most young boys of 6 years believe, they can do anything and do it as well as someone who's been doing it for years! They have a 'take on the world' attitude that makes all possibilites possible! The day arrived. With the entire kindergarten class, we... more...

Hopping in and out of planes is exercise enough, you say. But that’s not the kind of exercise that will condition your heart, make your reflexes and joints more fluid, keep the sugar levels or keep you from swinging from one mood to another! Nor is it the kind of exercise that will make you euphoric after a good cardiovascular session. You need to counteract the effects of jet lag, artificial air in pressurized aircraft cabins and sky fatigue. Suzanne Schlosberg says, “Sometim... more...

Let me be the first to tell you, if I can fit exercise into my busy schedule of being on the road flying all around the US for 20 out of 30 days a month, YOU CAN TO! Did I hear you say fitting exercise into your busy schedule? That’s as absurd as saying that there are eight days in a week right?! First, you’ve never exercised before or engaged regularly in a sport; second, you’ve never been into the fitness crowd and have had meager time for such pursuits, and third, you’re far too... more...

Seriously, throw caution to the win, splurge, and have a grand ‘ole time, in moderation OF COURSE. I’m not suggesting clandestine trips to Vegas, down payments on a Lamborghini, or shady high risk investments. My ideas are a wee bit more conservative; simply put, reward yourself, your ‘significant other’ or your family with a night on the town, weekend getaway, trip to the theme park. Something that says… “Nicely done!” Okay, now that you’ve spent your $10.00… :o)... what should you d... more...

You can gain time and energy in your life. This can be done by spending a few minutes each day making your life simpler. “Downsizing” your life a little at a time will lower stress and bring you a sense of satisfaction.

Things that no longer have value to you and your family. We all have a tendency to collect more than we really need. Som... more...

How do you measure the success in your life? As a home-based working mom it’s so different than the outside corporate world. I know for me, one day it can be a call from Borders that they are accepting one of my books, where another day it can be that I finally got my 5-year-old to go on a field trip at school. The last two she had missed being too scared to attend and instead spent the day home, sick. Both days, I consider huge successes! Both days, I felt a real winner! It can be t... more...
