The Christmas gifts have been exchanged, iced sugar cookies have been eaten, and now the New Year’s resolutions have been declared…..So now what? That’s right, how are this year’s declarations and resolutions going to be achieved where so many others in the past have been abandoned by valentine’s day? Let’s make this the year we change our attitudes instead of our plans and goals. Let’s shift how we think and focus on what and how we feel instead. That’s right, instead of thinking about what you want, think of how you would like to feel. Visualize…

Oh what a time we had in Breckendridge Colorado!
Tis the season to be Jolly, I wish I had the proper words to describe the pristine beauty sitting atop the Colorado rockies. The mountains were exploding with pops of vibrant green through the pillow of white cloudy puffy snow! Sprinkles of sunshine danced off of the leaves and snowflakes creating an absolute marvel of a sight and experience! We recently had the pleasure of celebrating Colin’s birthday at the Grand Lodge at peak 7 in Breckenridge and it was a ski lover’s dream! Or better yet a winter vacation lovers dream as I did not ski. But there was so much more than shredding to do in order to…

Dash into the holiday spirit, with the “Attitude of Gratitude”
The quickest way to help boost your mood and improve your outlook on life and circumstances is to have the “attitude of gratitude”. We were first introduced to this concept at the boys school in Hawai’i, at Honaunau. This attitude of gratitude takes a no holds barred approach to how you see things. Being grateful for everything around you and your many blessings, affords you a rosy outlook that is infectious. It helps to kick start the day and helps you see everything with a fresh set of unjaded eyes, like a newborn. To a newborn or toddler, everything is new, shiny, cool and fresh and offers joy and wonder.…

Falling for Fall!
Okay, I have to say that I am becoming a fall and winter convert. Yes, although I believe myself to be a true creature of the sun and humidity, I am coming around to the lure of the two seasons following spring and summer. I used to dread the first frost, chilly wind gusts and changing leaf color, and now I am beginning to embrace the beauty of fall and its many wonders. The color splash of beauty is at the very top of my fall fav list. There is something about grabbing a look at the vibrant colors of leaves, grass, and sunkissed sky that leaves particular warming of…
