By Kelly Mishell, Guest Nudger I’ve been toying with cutting my hair for four or five years. I see other women with cute short haircuts, fully owning their style and sass, and I envy them. You see, I have fine hair. The wispy kind that looks stringy the longer it gets, the kind that a small breeze will fully obliterate any style I’ve managed to create. When I was a child, my mot[...]
This Nudge was inspired by an article I wrote several months ago on tips for networking. I don't know about you, but I feel my networking muscles atrophied while we were sheltering-in-place, and I need some nudges to get back out there! One person I interviewed encouraged me to redefine networking not as a must-do for generating business, but as a way of connecting with good people, o[...]
This Nudge was inspired by my late friend Bev, who for years was part of an amazing book club. Each month, the hostess chose a book and planned a meal around it. A story set in Italy might be discussed over pasta and Chianti. A novel featuring a woman who moves to a small town and opens a bakery might be critiqued over a berry tart or gooey chocolate cupcakes. I miss dinner parties. I[...]

I almost took a pass on this one (remember, we’re allowed 4 during the year). My life has been insanely busy recently, and this week looks to be no exception. Take off a whole day and just relax? Oh, sure. And this is exactly why I’m accepting this Nudge. What did I call it in the last round? A “Spiritual Health Day”. My intention is to go with the flow for one full day with no[...]

This Nudge landed under my "sight" nudges (for this round's theme of delighting all my senses) because whenever I look around my office (and kitchen and dining room table), I am distracted by piles of stuff. It's stressful! I'd like my work and personal environments to be clean and calm (though not "minimalist," which actually stresses me out too). So, this week, I'm going to devote 1[...]

I already know what I’m going to make. It’s easy, it’s quick. But I always seem to come up for excuses for why I can’t make it. This week, I’m going to delight my sense of taste with a treat that makes me happy. How will you celebrate yourself this week? What Happened: Chocolate Mousse is my favorite dessert, and I wasted no time on this. Sunday afternoon I walked a few bl[...]
