Taking Care

By Elise | Published: January 23, 2012

This Thursday marks the one-month anniversary of my self-induced tailbone and spine drama. I am a lot better!  However, I still have to walk slowly, lay down several times a day, try not to bend my back, sit on a special pillow, and make sure I take painkillers before bed so that I can sleep. [...]

Sometimes

By Elise | Published: January 19, 2012

Part of taking care of momma includes recognizing that taking a nap maybe the best use of your time. Take a nap if you can.  Sleep cures many problems. That’s my helpful hint for the day.  I’m off to nap! Much Love,

Sweaters?

By Elise | Published: January 18, 2012

The Midwest is finally cold.  Brr… I realized over the weekend that most of my Old Navy sweaters from 4 years ago are falling apart.  Since my youngest is now in first grade, I’m thinking maybe it’s time to go ahead and invest in sweaters that could last longer than a few years. I never [...]

Welcome Chinese New Year

By Elise | Published: January 16, 2012

Does January always feel like the longest month to you?  For me, it just seems to drag on and on.   I’m sure it has something to do with the holiday let down and going to back to work, but I try to look at it in a different way.  January is my month of [...]

Frustrated to Grateful

By Elise | Published: December 29, 2011

It’s been 3 days since I broke my tailbone trying to be silly.  It still hurts a lot.  In fact, I’m hoping the chiropractor will be able to do something for the pain later this afternoon.  It’s frustrating to be moving so slowly, but I am playing with the idea of embracing this experience. It [...]

Broken

By Elise | Published: December 27, 2011

Let me paint a picture for you: Yesterday, my family had an adventure.  We started at our local history museum.  It was really boring for the children, but hubbie and I felt good  “exposing” them to our area’s rich history.  Bwa ha ha – it’s fun to be the parents. Next we headed out for [...]

How great are you?

By Elise | Published: December 15, 2011

Have you ever sat down to make a to-do list around this time of year and then ended up feeling good? No?  Hmm.. What if, before you make your list of stuff that is still left to do, you made a list of stuff you’ve already done for the big day?  How long do you [...]

What is a coach anyway?

By Elise | Published: November 30, 2011

Suddenly people around me are becoming more curious about what it is that I do exactly anyway. Coaching is hard to explain.  We celebrate successful sports coaches, but many people still cast a wary eye towards life coaches.   The term new age, weird, and freak come to mind a lot apparently.   Yesterday, I heard [...]
