This is such a small task, but one that gets put off until I really really look at my reading glasses and wonder how I can see anything through the smudges! Let's call this "The Smudges Nudge." ;-) It made it into The List 4.0 when I brainstormed how I might treat and honor my sense of sight. Now that I'm writing this, it occurs to me this Nudge could also apply to the everyday glas[...]

Had kind of a rough day yesterday. Pretty big career letdown. I was sitting in my office, head in hands, asking the Universe Why? What do you want from me? What am I supposed to be doing with my life?! A long walk, a long talk with a supportive friend, and I came back to what I know in my heart: This must mean something better is coming. Okay, then. But please reveal it soon. Thi[...]
There's a huge cobweb hanging from the ceiling just over my desk. There's another connecting the lampshade next to my bed to the curtain railing in the corner of our bedroom. I mean...ick. How did it get like this? Easy: a career, a household, a family and friends, lots of Life, and lots of distractions. While this Nudge appears to be a simple and overdue household task, I'm hoping to[...]

Well, the full Nudge reads "Take a long hot bath with 1 of those scented bombs I've been 'saving.'" If you've been nudging with me for a while, you know a variation of this one has appeared in every round. Why? Because it's still hard for me! I'm a born 'n' raised Californian, where water-saving practices are drilled into our DNA. Run the water while brushing my teeth? Never! Reuse rin[...]
Stumbled upon this story about Simon Beck, who makes art in sand and snow -- and made a career of it! Here's the video: https://www.upworthy.com/ex-engineer-walks-for-hours-and-hours-to-create-epic-snow-art-with-his-feet-rp2 See photos of some of his remarkable creations on his Facebook page here. There is no such thing as a "crazy" idea -- create! It's never "too late" -- sta[...]

Dear Nudger, In late 2017 and into early 2018, I was desperate for something to get me out of a place of stuck-ness. More than that, I felt like I no longer knew who I was or who I wanted to become. How was I going to live my best life? I searched for workshops and conferences, self-help books and gurus, and didn't find anything that felt right for me. So I created 52Nudges. Five[...]
We've been having historic storms in California-- there's even been snow around the Hollywood sign--and it's cold here! (Please, no judgment from my Canadian friends. ;-) ) This is the perfect time to warm myself up with some hot mulled spiced wine or cider. Live in a warmer climate? Then maybe this is the week you experiment with a jazzed-up lemonade or limoncello. Make and pour your[...]
