    Who You Marry!

    I do find it fascinating who we marry: are they like our parents or the total opposite? How do we choose? For full disclosure, I ponder some of these questions in today's episode but mostly I reflect on the fact that I, for sure, married my grandfather -- and I chose wisely!   Thanks so much for listening!

    The Ultimate Conundrum!

    Today I share a few excerpts from an opinion piece written by New York Times columnist, David Brooks, called 'The Great Detachment.' In his piece, he sets up a conundrum that I have found to be very true: “It is one of the weird paradoxes of life that the constraints you choose are the ones that set you free.”    Thanks so much for listening!

    A Potential Move!

    No, I'm not moving! Today's episode IS about a potential move, just not mine. It's funny how we often move through life as though nothing will change and then, all of a sudden, big changes roll into our path.    Thanks so much for listening!

    Letting Go of Resistance!

    It's the first day of 2026 and I am a bit reflective (just a little) -- thinking about releasing goals, control, and resistance. I'm choosing to 'allow.' Allow all aspects of my life to unfold with more ease, openness, and trust. It's still Day One so we'll see how it goes!   Thanks so much for listening!

    Some Good Advice (Not From Me)!

    I recently read a NY Times article in which the author compiled the best reader submitted advice of 2025. Today I share some of those nuggets of wisdom --- there are a few really good ones!! And that's saying a lot because you know I hate advice (yes, the irony is real).    Thanks so much for listening!
