According to The Days of the Year website, today is No Tobacco Day. As a non-smoker, every day is No Tobacco Day for me, so I decided to come up with something else. I am declaring today to be Be Excellent to Each Other Day Yesterday, at my bimonthly network meeting, the presenter, Jeff Welsh …

…And We're Back
Let me begin by thanking all of those readers who told me that they missed my blog. I appreciate the positive feedback. It is because of that praise that I have decided to do the Blogathon again this year. That means 30 days of posts to come. Technically the Blogathon doesn’t begin until June 1st. …
The last 3 books I read
Today is the last day of the Blogathon and I am proud to say that I met my goal of blogging every day in May. I also managed to sustain my daily yoga practice for 30 of the 31 days of May. I am still counting that as a personal victory. Especially since May included …
Productive Procrastination
My yoga teacher says (weekly) that resting is the most important part of yoga. I have yet to internalize that message, either for yoga or life in general. I am a champion sleeper, but a horrible rester. My comprehension of the term “leisure time” is severely lacking. Believe it or not, I have actually gotten …

I have learned not to complement her on anything in her house lest she make me take it home. The unusual part is that I am envious of his Kindle. This is very unlike me. …
Tippecanoe and Tyler too
A few days ago I had what I thought was a simple conversation with a barista, but oddly enough, it has stayed with me. I met a colleague at a local franchise of a national chain of coffee shops earlier this week. I usually go to locally owned places, but the person I was meeting …
Feline Induced Inertia
I need to write tomorrow’s post today, although by the time you read this, today will be yesterday and tomorrow will be today (I think I just wandered into Lewis Carroll territory there). I am struggling to come up with a topic for this post. Usually when this happens, I peruse my RSS feeds to …
Staying on Top of it All
In addition to being a Tech Whisperer and crafter, I sit on a very hands-on nonprofit board and a state commission. I have been searching for years for the best tool to help me keep track of the numerous balls I am always juggling. I have tried Day Timer, a Palm Pilot, a simple notebook …
The Paradoxes of Daily Blogging
powered by Fotopedia I have noticed an intriguing paradox emerging as I blog daily. When I first started this process, I felt compelled to make sure I had the following day’s blog scheduled for posting the next day. This went double for travel days. I have seen my compulsion dissipate over the last week or …
