10 Great Things About Nadia!
Catchy title, eh? Thanks for reading anyway. Truth is, this post is more for me than for you. Over the last few days (weeks? maybe longer?) I have felt – and mostly ignored – the mounting and overwhelming feelings of insecurity, uncertainty and general self-dislike. This happens from time to time, and usually ends the…

Season with Salt
Use peace, grace and kindness as the overriding principles when dealing with local business owners and never, EVER publicize emails or other written communication. “Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.” How I interpret this is to always let your words be…

You Hurt My Feelings!

The Love Dare, Round 2
Last year I very quietly read, and (tried to) implement(ed) the Love Dare and the Respect Dare. At the same time. They aren’t written by the same authors, but their 40-dare systems allow for integration, somewhat. So it worked…ish.

2014! The year of less….and more 🙂
Those who know me will not be surprised to hear that I have a list as long of my arm of New Year’s “resolutions”. Sometimes I wonder why each year I continue to go through this exercise in biting off more than I, or anyone else, can chew. On one hand, I like to have…
