Have you ever wished that you could wash your thoughts away? You can! The mind clutter and mental chatter are things that people often ask me about. “Why can’t I make this stop” they ask when the mind gets busy with worries, fears, and judgments about friends, family and the guy who just cut you off in traffic.
Our Relationship With Food
From Table Magazine, Summer 2008
Food is life – or at least one of the biggest parts of it. The idea of food rolls around at least three times a day for most of us, whether we are finding lunch during a workday, planning dinner for a family or figuring out what to eat when we get done with our daily workout.

How Violent is Too Violent in Kid’s TV
BreezyMama.com
Recently on For Kids Entertainment, I had a giveaway that promoted the CW line up of action packed superhero cartoons and one reader wrote in wondering if the violence was okay for her 4 year old son. This question got me thinking: how violent is too violent for kid’s TV? It seems a handful of upcoming kids’ movies coming out have a scarier theme and of course superhero cartoons would be nothing if there weren’t villains.

Making Smooth Transitions: Back to School and Work After Summer
Many adults take long vacations, or time off in the summer to recharge. Children have a built-in vacation from school. Getting back on track can often present a challenge, but rising to meet it can produce even better results than you had before the break. It is important to look at any reasons you may be having trouble getting back on track. Are there things about school/work that you are avoiding? It may be time to reshuffle and reconsider your work/school routines and do things differently than before. Refine your routines. Remove clutter and unnecessary tasks or delegate them. Add desirable tasks to your routine to give you more to draw you back into your work routine. By giving yourself reasons to want to go back into your routine, you are taking care of yourself.
