I write a LOT. My goal is brevity, today. Anyway, here goes with today’s prompt: To believe your own thought, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart is true for all men, that is genius. – Ralph Waldo Emerson What is burning deep inside of you? If you could spread [...]

Ten years ago today was one of the best days of my life, when I married my best friend. I really appreciate our close friends who helped support us: Mike, Diane, Joe, and Mike. Thanks, you guys! A gorgeous arbor in a spectacular setting. We held the wedding, reception, and dinner at the Marin Art [...]

First of all… Happy May Day! Finally progressing toward the longest, sunniest day of the year! Woohoo! I neglected a recipe of the week this week. My lame excuse: I made a fantastic palaak paneer (Indian curry spinach with cheese) and I’d love to share it. Thing is, I didn’t take any pics, because the [...]

I’ve left you guys in the lurch all weekend, without even a Recipe Friday! I’ll make amends soon, promise! This weekend was Mr. You Can Get Fit’s (Bruce’s) birthday. It wasn’t a big birthday, but I believe that every year–every day–is a reason to celebrate. (And apparently Chris had the same thoughts I did today!) [...]

Are you staring at your calendar right now, racking your brain, trying to figure out what day I’m talking about? This nonexistent day falls on the nonexistent calendar somewhere between “I’ll get to it” and “never”… that day is called SOMEDAY. We’re all guilty of it, and I am, too. I’ll reorganize my business files [...]

Spring is here! Time to spring-clean not only our houses but maybe our diets, our future plans… never fear, I’ve found some great posts from fellow bloggers to help you out with such deep thoughts! (Some of ‘em date back a few months, but they’re still highly relevant.) How many times have you heard that [...]

I loved this quote from the January 2011 SELF magazine. I aim to live my life this way, and I hope that you all will, too. It’s overstated, but life is not a dress rehearsal… Be Fearless If you make only one resolution this year, let it be to live boldly. You control the moment: [...]

We made it through the first week! How are your goals holding up? I’ve been doing great eating my 5-a-day! Here are a few great posts I’ve found over the course of my surfing this week… Benny The Irish Polyglot writes a great guest post at Location 180 about Sticking To New Year’s Resolutions. I [...]

A quick, yet timely, post during the holiday season. I hope all of you are holding up! During the holidays, no matter what you do, it’s easily to get sucked up in the franticness, the food, the glitter, the calories, the alcohol… you know what I mean. And that all leads to—weight gain, feeling bloated [...]

I’ve been stymied, recently, by “what do you want out of life” and “what are your goals in life” articles. That’s a big question, right? My first kneejerk response is easy: I want to nourish my body and exercise regularly, but that’s merely a means to an end. There’s a big picture in life—there are [...]
