Oh, for pete's sake. "No complaining"--for a whole week?! This is going to be such a... See what I just did? ;-) There is so much negativity in our world right now, and I'd like to limit what I contribute. I know from experience my spirits are lifted when I'm around someone who has a positive outlook and attitude, and I'd like to be that good-hearted soul more often. So, from now--[...]
Around the time I was putting together this round's list of Nudges, I noticed I had a tendency to keep all the curtains in my office closed till late in the day. I operate better in light, especially natural light, so I decided I'd initiate a morning ritual of letting in the light. It's going to be a great week. What Happened: What an easy thing to do! Opening all the curtains and[...]

Cuisine du marché translates to "market cooking," and it refers to the French practice of shopping for fresh ingredients every day, for every dinner. But it's more than just adding another to-do to my daily list. It's about going into a local marketplace and being inspired by what I discover, especially seasonal offerings. I'm fascinated by this, and it certainly plays into my intention[...]

I love how the perfect Nudge is (magically?) drawn at the perfect time. With all the madness in our world right now, self-care is so important. I need to be better about shutting off the news, checking on vulnerable friends and family members, balancing work+life, and being grateful for what's good. The beach is where I go to reset. I don't go there often enough (and it's just two[...]

There's the box of old sheets and towels languishing in the corner of the basement, meant for the dog rescue organization. There's the huge bag of clothing that's been sitting in my office, waiting for me to make a trip to the women's shelter. There's the box of household items we no longer use, stuff that someone else could be using. So much STUFF! This week's Nudge is partl[...]

Oh, this is a fun one! It's an opportunity to connect with a few young people in my life (nieces, nephews, godsons) and tickle my own funny bone. "Tickle my own funny bone." Feels like that fits right in with my theme of "delighting all my senses" in this round of Nudges. I'm off to google for age-appropriate material. Let the laughter begin! What Happened: "There's this small v[...]
