Living vicariously - Day 1 of 30 day writing challenge
Joslyn made me do this. Or her babies did—the two cute new twins whom I have yet to meet but feel like I have. I am living vicariously through her Instagram photos and Facebook videos. Actually I’m reliving my own 3-babies-in-a-row life before I was on social media.
When you're addicted to technology (and you detox, but then need to come back home)
What could be worse than coming home from a vacation after successfully detoxing yourself from the everyday technology that rules your life?
Lady with the red pants: When yoga is humiliating
I was once called Lady with the Red Pants by a strict yoga teacher with whom I’d been practicing yoga for 6 years.

Give yourself permission to hesitate, retreat or go for it
You don't have to know why. Just follow your first gut instinct. It's usually your best bet. Even if it drives your hesitation, perception, concern or intrigue unconsciously, it knows you.
When your computer hard drive fails spontaneously: Frustration or freedom?
If you're like most people, you have a lot of your life—both personal and business—on your computer. From financial records to secret writing to documents for your work. Right?
When ideas melt into words: Creative copywriting that inspires - freelance writer, poet, digital marketing
Which words really matter? Creative to meticulous. The ones that, together in a phrase, have multiple meanings—double entendres—depending on how they are read. I'm a freelance copywriter and a poet. I'm an online marketer and an editor. I'm a social media junkie and a web site blog developer. I'm a blogger and a journalist.
Today I will write a manifesto: Writing my future with full clarity
I put it in my calender that today I will write a manifesto. I thought about this in yoga this morning. I started writing in my mind. Then—after coming home—I decided to go back to a second yoga class in a row in order to get psyched; it was Bikram yoga no less. It was a physical yoga manifesto.
Are you always too busy: Do you care about your freedom?
It seems to be the new cool to say you're busy, swamped or otherwise not available for free time. Why is that?
It's cool to control your freedom
Why your blog still matters
Your blog is your place for thinking, and then typing what you think. It's your news source and outlet for relaying whatever you've got to say, and putting it out there. Even if no one reads it—let's hope that's not the case—your blog is a collection of all of your thoughts, organized chronologically and categorically.

You found me. Or did I find you? Either way, I'm glad we're "connected". Now let's share.
Healthy eyesight: Luteins, red wine and computers
I went to the optometrist today for my first time in all my years—having 20/20 vision all my life—because I noticed that in the last year or so, I am no longer able to read the fine print on my iPhone. For that matter, I cannot focus on anything anymore that is within a one-foot distance from my eyes. This is new for me.
Learning how to live like a cat
I have wondered lately if it would be possible to live the life of one of my two indoor cats, and if I were to accomplish this endeavor, how relaxed life would be. As I rush around through my days full of schedules and kids, I often remind myself of the solace I will feel when I finally get to relax on the floor
Does the "moth effect" contribute to nighttime bicycle accidents?
We all know that bicyclists who ride at night should have lights on their bicycles in order to be safe. Lights are divided into two categories: those that help you to see and those that help you be seen. It goes without saying that 'to see' lights are those that provide a steady beam to light up the road or trail in front of the cyclist. The 'be seen' lights are the cause for concern here.
Traumatic brain injury research to help head trauma victims
Head trauma victims often end up with Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) or Mild Traumatic Brain Injuries (mTBI). What is TBI and what is mTBI?
