Body Acceptance

By Elise | Published: March 6, 2012

I LOVE being older.  Not that 37 is all that old or anything, but my poor daughter is so critical of her body and the natural changes she is going through as she approaches teendom.  It makes me cry. Heck – I’ll walk around in a bikini showing everyone my cellulite without batting an eyelash [...]

Scary Fish

By Elise | Published: February 27, 2012

Last night, my family had some terrific together time watching Blue Planet and eating snacky supper.  (Cheese, crackers, salami, fruit, veggies etc.  Yum!) The episode was about the deep ocean and all the scary looking creatures that live down there.  I tell you – the hairy angler fish is one ugly fish.  Yikes! I cannot [...]

Uninspired Days

By Elise | Published: February 24, 2012

Do you ever have one of those days where you really, really don’t feel like doing anything? As a momma, there are certain things you must attend to, but beyond that…you could just go to sleep.  Like that? Yes I know – me too. In fact, I’ve been feeling this way for a while now.  [...]

High School Drama

By Elise | Published: February 21, 2012

When I was in my early-twenties, I worked with a lady who attended her 20-year reunion and loved it.  She came back from the weekend pumped about how great it was.  She said everyone was great, and that all of the fake high school drama was gone.  To me, a girl just a few years [...]

Grouchy Children

By Elise | Published: February 16, 2012

The thing about kids is that they are people too.  They have many of  the same needs as everyone else, which include: Needing much more sleep than they get  (Check to see if your kids are getting enough sleep here.) Needing many more hugs than they get Needing people to me much more patient with [...]

Being Gentle

By Elise | Published: February 3, 2012

If you are trying hard to change, but you are having some trouble, relax. It’s okay.  Professional baseball players are happy with a .300 average.  That means if they hit the ball 1 out of 3 times – it’s really good. You have to keep at it.  It’s better to keep going slowly than to [...]

Guidance

By Elise | Published: January 30, 2012

I started physical therapy last Wednesday.  So far, so great!  While hobbling slowly around for the past month has put me in touch with my inner old woman, the healing progress was slow.   Everything hurt.  I didn’t know what exercises to do, and I was very nervous about making things worse.  It was frustrating. Since [...]

Peaceful Child

By Elise | Published: January 25, 2012

My daughter came home from school last night in a tizzy.  She got in a tiny bit of trouble with her teacher, and it hurt her feelings.  On top of that, there was the mountain of homework.   The poor child was freaking out about getting it done so much so that she was practically [...]

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. [...]

Beautiful Story – Yellow Roses

By Elise | Published: January 6, 2012

This just landed in my email from a friend and former client.  It is lovely! Too good not to share with you.  Loved it! I walked into the grocery store not particularly interested in buying groceries. I wasn’t hungry. The pain of losing my husband of 57 years was still too raw. And this grocery [...]

    Enjoying the unexpected break in activity. Although the concussion headache feels a lot like having a hangover all day. Grateful for Advil!
