Explore Essential oils for Babies and Moms-to-Be


I’ve read a number of books in my day, self improvement books, wellness books, management books and after each one I come away with the same feeling… That was a nice set of stories and analogies, but what do I DO?  Seriously, what action do I take, right now, to course […]

Rules of the transition game



So this weekend I had quite the meltdown.  I won’t go into the gory details, you’ve all seen it at least once in your life… middle-aged woman realizes she is a lousy friend (and has lost a bunch because of it); is overcome by the magnitude of changing internet providers […]

Resources you need to know about


Some of us, once in a while, make a bad decision or two (or four) when it comes to Vino.  Yeah, I may over indulge when it comes to a great glass (bottle) of wine.  What to now how I support my body  so that I keep from feeling yucky the next […]
