My middle daughter is making the transition to kindergarten this year. She’s been having a bit of a rough time, having set her sights on staying home with mommy instead of going to school.
This brings up a question: I wonder what she thinks I do during the day? Our summertime schedule included lots of visits [...]

OK, so I haven’t exactly written much this week.
Let me rephrase: I haven’t written anything this week.
And I’ve had so much fun — so much peace happiness and love has come into my life!
This week, with my “elephant-sized challenge” thing, I’ve connected with five super-fantastic people all of whom are doing things they love. They [...]

Because it’s important to have traditions, and I’ve been pretty loosey-goosey with them around here, we now have “Send A Friend” Sundays. It’s a time when I fill you in on the “bigger picture” like “peace happiness and love” or “peoplerelationship” stuff or “how to deal with difficult people” things.

Over the last weeks I’ve realized that I’ve been amazingly fortunate since starting my business. There have been so many people who have been mentors, advisors, or just “whisperers” giving me wonderful help and advice.
So, it’s time to give back. I’ve decided that in the next 45 days, between now and October 1, I’m going [...]
Because it’s important to have traditions, and I’ve been pretty loosey-goosey with them around here, I’m starting “Send A Friend” Sundays. It’s a time when I’ll do a little recap of the week, sometimes with a message you might want to share with others you care about. We’ll see how it goes.
OK, so as you [...]
We’re in Nebraska, visiting my brother and his family for the holiday.
If you’ve ever driven from Chicago to Nebraska, you understand that it’s not perhaps the most exciting drive.
Having done it hundreds of times, however, I dearly love it because the road brings me home. It’s so good to drive and think for 500 miles.
Near [...]
The other night at my daughter’s softball game, one of the girls struck out. We were all a little surprised. She’s a pretty good batter.
Later, her mom asked her casually what happened. “I know the pitcher, mom. I didn’t want to hurt her feelings.”
Oh.
Her comment hit me like a Greyhound bus.
Good God, I swing at [...]
Band-aids are a form of currency in our household. They are treasured by my kids, and every owie no matter how small seems to require one.
This got me thinking: An owie is never really dealt with until it has been cared for with love.
But somewhere between the age of 4 and 40, we stop paying [...]
It’s been a busy week full of growth here at the very super-secret world headquarters for the peace happiness and love blog. My thank you notes this week will give you a peek at what’s been happening:
I’m going to send you on a little visit to an artist whose work takes my breath away.
