In my last post I was talking about what you do when you feel your life, routine, family, relationships, etc… are in a rut. I asked to hear tips before I would share some of my own.
Hmoeckli had some really outstanding suggestions in response:

As my son got older I found myself wondering what he would enjoy in his Easter basket. He will always get a visit from the bunny in our house (and Santa for that matter) and I didn’t want to drop the ball just because he was maturing. Just what do you get a pre-teen or teenager for their...

Just like a superhero, I got the call yesterday morning. Two teachers were sick at my Child Development Center and they needed me! Eight hours and six liters of water later, I’d finished my first day with about twenty pre-schoolers. Wow! At this rate, I’ll drop 100lbs in a week....

First, I have to confess that I didn’t come up with this topic. My friend, Jane, did. Check out the May 20th post at www.meditationsforwomen.com, a website that she developed and runs.
