Waiting for Superman - I should write a book with that title!

Why are you waiting for Superman when you have your own cape in the closet?

How easy it seems to be for us to point the finger when things happen in life that we don't like or a relationship goes awry, leaving brokenness and pain and chaos in its wake. We sometimes even point our finger at someone else despite knowing in our heart-of-hearts that it was mostly our fault. But here is how we can be proactive against bitterness, and turn our attitude about the situation, and the person or people involved, around.

We're black to wrap up my take on having a lovely day, taken from a snippet of the soundtrack of my life! If you're just joining me for this episode, you might first want to listen to episode 5, where I give you the "backstory" on this concept. Even if you don't, DO take a listen to Bill Wither's song (link below)...and be ready to greet each day with a totally different "spin!"

And be ready to greet - or REgreet - the day with a brand new approach!

Well, put on your dancing shoes for this episode, and be ready to greet - or REgreet - the day with open arms, no matter what's going on in your life!

Mindfulness is neither hokey nor "magic", but it can help you as you find your way through a major life change.

In today's episode, I talk about how practical mindfulness is, and why it should definitely be in your "transition toolkit." (Believe me, someday you'll thank me for mentioning this!)

Plus, I share a few questions to journal about as you try this technique out for yourself...
