This quote "Don’t cling to a mistake just because you spent a lot of time making it" immediately reminded me of my in-laws' entertainment center. It's the entertainment center that would not die. And, honestly, it was NOT a mistake for them to buy it years ago but it does bring to mind the question-- when is it time to let something go?

 I had a strong reaction to someone's decision and realized I was quickly jumping to some conclusions that weren't necessarily true. How often do we catch ourselves doing this? Exploring what we're making it mean can give us insight about what's going on in our brains. We are in charge of what we believe and how much time we spend believing thoughts that can help us.

Have you ever gotten frustrated when somebody doesn't understand what you're trying to explain? Or does something you think they shouldn't have done (hey, parents of teens, I'm talking to you~)?

The curse of knowledge is when you think that others have the same understanding that you have. We forget what it's like to NOT know what we already know. Realizing this helps us communicate more clearly and have more empathy for others...and ourselves.

This idea has popped up in my life in random areas and it's a helpful concept to remember.  Listen in for some real-life examples.

As we prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving here in the United States, I share a prayer from  

Grateful: The Subversive Practice of Giving Thanks a book by Diana Butler Bass.

Choose thanks, my friends!

Thanksgiving Day deserves our love and attention.

Sandwiched between Halloween and Christmas, it's easy to rush past it. But let's slow down and savor this time to count our blessings and give thanks.

Have you ever felt grumpy? Mad at the world? Stressed? Of course, you have because you’re human. But just because you feel it, doesn’t mean you have to stay mired in those feelings.

Byron Katie’s “The Work” gives us four questions to consider.

Join me in the work.

I’ve got a new favorite number and it’s a doozy:  8,388,608.

That’s eight million, three hundred and eighty-eight thousand, six hundred and eight.

Hop on with me for a few minutes.

Let’s talk about what we’re really thinking when we don’t do the thing we mean to do.

Then we’ll do some quick and easy math that will blow your mind.

That’s right, we’re doing math.

And we’ll talk lily pads taking over a pond.

I bet you’ll walk away inspired to make a difference.
