A friend of mine is in an arranged marriage.  She's from India, & her parents arranged her marriage when she was 26...WELL past her prime based on Indian norms.

We laughed as she shared her story & described 26 as "old".

Fascinating how much social norms impact timing & decision making ov...

Is this time of year yet another adjustment for you?

Is it the start of the school year?

Are you going back? Have you dropped kids off at college? Or at the bus stop?

Now that we're back to "normal"? As if there is such thing?

I feel like I just found last year's sunscreen, realized it was expired, got ...

You know that feeling when your alarm doesn't go off & you wake up late? And you're groggy & confused & oddly well rested at the same time?

I woke up at 8 yesterday morning, which was particularly confusing because I had set my alarm for 7. Turns out it matters if you set it for AM or PM. 

Unfortu...

 Do you ever lose your sh*t?? 

I do.

A few months ago, the door of my 2008 Odyssey fell off.  Turns out automatic sliding doors are only convenient when they're actually on the vehicle & function.

Have you seen European Vacation?  (Yes, the one with Chevy Chase as Clark Griswold who takes his fam on a journey through Europe.)

(If you haven't, please stop reading this & watch it immediately... 2-hour pause.)

One of my favorite parts is when they're stuck on the roundabout in London.

What are some ways you limit yourself? 

My 10-year old decided to eat pudding with his fingers on the way home the other day.  I asked why he decided to eat it without a spoon, & his immediate response was, "I didn't have one."

Funny how much we limit ourselves as adults, isn't it?  I mean...I'm n...

Do you ever consider quitting something but feel like you’d be giving up or cheating in some way?  Or be a quitter?

Maybe you’re 20 minutes into a movie you can’t stand, but you keep watching it.  

Or you’re forcing yourself to finish a book a friend loaned you.

Or you’re months into a work or pe...

When you look back on the life you’ve lived so far, who are some of the people who have had a positive impact? 

Who helped shape the lens you look through today?

Maybe your 5th grade teacher?

Maybe your neighbor in 2nd grade?

Something we don’t often realize until later in life.  Because everyth...

Do you know who you really are?  Who you’re meant to be?

Some days, does it seem like everyone else knows who they are except you?

And other days it seems like monks & the author of Eat, Pray, Love are the only ones who really know?

And unless you figure out a way to get out of the daily grind & ...
