I may be bad, but I’m perfectly good at it.

| December 8, 2011 | 2 Comments

Rihanna sings “I may be bad but I’m perfectly good at it.” The meaning of these words are quite obvious, but I’m not going there now! Taken out of context, these words hit me right between the eyes. She is bad at something, but proud of it – because that is who she is. Throughout  [...]

The Risk and Relief of Declaring Bankruptcy

| November 20, 2011 | 2 Comments

What will people say?  What will they think of me?  What if there is a really important email that I will lose?  What?  What in the world am I talking about? I’m talking about the fact that I took a risk this week, and declared bankruptcy. Email bankruptcy. What precipitated this huge life event?  My [...]

Thoughtful and Aware?

| November 18, 2011 | 3 Comments

How many “slaves” work for you? Of course you don’t have slaves! But, do you purchase or use things that have come to you through the slavery (working long hours and not being paid a living wage) of someone else? I recently was sent a web site where I could take a survey and see [...]

Zumba! Mama

| November 13, 2011 | 2 Comments

My brother and sister were the competitors: swimming, skiing, running. Once I got over the fact that it was OK to do those things without competing, I did them all… but by then I was an adult. I developed my own pace to enjoy nature and the rhythm of my heart.  Because I am a [...]

Having Children

| November 10, 2011 | 2 Comments

Tomorrow, on 11/11/11 our youngest turns 10. No more will Linda and I (and their dads) be parents of a single-digit(ed) child. For some reason this feels to be to be a significant milestone. Raising kids was (truly) my partner’s idea, not mine. I never really imagined being a mother – no baggage or agenda [...]

Living Up To Expectations

| November 8, 2011 | 1 Comments

I believe in rules and boundaries. Mostly out of fear of the consequences, I am apt to toe the line. But over the last five or six years, reinforced by coaching from True Voices, I’ve realized that living to please others is not true living. It’s been a gradual journey, and there is a long [...]

The Story of my Life, Altered (for a Change)

| October 23, 2011 | 5 Comments

As you know, a couple of years ago, I bravely stated on this blog that I was going on a diet.  I did what I said, and many months later, I reached the goal I had set for myself on that diet.  Yippee, right?  Well, not so fast… Now, some months after that, I have [...]

“I. Know. Who. I. Am.”

| October 19, 2011 | 4 Comments

Some friends attended Oprah’s “O You” event in Atlanta this past weekend and I’ve heard wonderful snippets from their experience. Lot’s of inspiration and great speakers, an elevator ride with Nate Berkus… a positive-energy crowd, I bet it was an amazing day! One statement that Oprah made, as reported by my friends, is sticking to [...]

Nothing

When I write for this RiskADay blog, I want to write something useful. I don’t try for brilliant or even good — just useful. I don’t know that I’ve always succeeded but that’s been my goal — useful. Well, this month, I have to tell you, there’s nothing here that is useful. I have no [...]
