CELEBRATING SILENCE – YOU’VE GOT TO SLOW DOWN TO GET GOING!

It is the greatest paradox of life you’ve got to slow down to get more done!  Come on, you say,  first you ask me to celebrate naps and now embrace silence?  I am a busy wife, mother, employee, daughter, and friend and if it were up to you you’d have me “taking to the bed” and being [...]

I am taking the “chance to dance!”

Dancing has become a metaphor for unleashing the spirit trapped inside.  The first time I heard this type of analogy was from Dr. Wayne Dyer when he quoted a book (whose title now escapes me) in which he said he obtained the following quote that at age 19 changed his life “Don’t die with your music still in [...]

Being Conscious: Eileen’s Daily Work

Fun in the mundane…and Is It Loving? One of my daily affirmations is simply to love and enjoy my life – ALL of the people, places, and events that are a part of it.
