There’s this funny, sort of modern-day fable someone once told me about some investment banker-type guys who took a trip to Mexico.

WTF America?
Mike and I recently returned from three beautiful days in Paris. Here’s what I noticed about this storied city: there are hundreds and hundreds of cafes where people can be found sitting and relaxing at all hours of the day as though they have nothing else to do and nowhere else to be people don’t… Continue Reading
Stop freaking out and just freaking enjoy.
My friend Terri Cole shared this quote with me last week: “Overwhelm is just a mountain of unmade decisions.” Mike and I are on a plane flying to Europe for 10 days.

Put down the flail.
Right before the holidays I made a few financial decisions that I wish I hadn’t made. Nothing catastrophic. Just some money that went places I wish it hadn’t, in retrospect. It’s made for a tighter start of 2013 than I prefer. Confession: I’ve been beating myself up about it for weeks. While traveling in Costa… Continue Reading
4 life-altering steps to create a life you want to live in.
The other day I heard a woman say that escaping her life every weekend to her mountain home was what was getting her through.
