Happy 2024!

It seems like New Year’s resolutions are a mix of habits and dreams. I want to maintain good habits, such as daily exercise and optimal nutrition, and achieve better sleep and finances. So, I created my exercise space, downloaded the Les Mills app, and bought a calendar to plan a schedule. I've compiled recipes and [...]

Just a Few “Usual” Things

I want my clients to rest assured that there truly is a rhyme-and-reason for what I do.  As I was editing a manual this week and changing the “usual” things I often find, I hated to stop the flow of my editing to leave continual comments of explanation for my client. At the same [...]

3 Things I’d Like to “BE” for Halloween

What will you "be" for Halloween? Costume stores thrive during this season of autumn as children imagine what they can be to collect candy on Halloween. I was daydreaming today about the top three things I hope to “be” this season. BE THANKFUL to be busy now and trust God to provide in the [...]

Balancing Act, Part 2

God made us to require rest . . . maybe to remind us that we are not God.   All that said, if you’re like me, you may consciously need to “settle” sometimes. I’m a bit OCD, and I can even rationalize that characteristic from the Bible! Colossians 3:23 says, “Whatever you do, work [...]

Regaining Your Optimal Health after a Car Accident

Here is a sample monthly e-newsletter that I write for a law firm. The alarm goes off early day after day so that you can run a couple miles before going to work. Maybe you arrive home from work worn and weary, but you still manage to find the gumption to lift some weights [...]

Balancing Act, Part 1

Prioritizing is not the same as procrastinating. You are an editor. You care about your projects and give 100 percent effort to each one. After all, people pay you to make things “perfect.” It’s your job. But have you ever felt paralyzed because the manuscript in front of you, despite the author’s highest hopes, [...]

Closing the Loopholes in Communication

Readers do not have the benefit of voice inflection, body language, or eye contact. Have you ever tried to communicate something that made complete sense to you, but the outcome was far from the anticipated result and left you scratching your head? Why does communication between the speaker and the listener break down oftentimes? [...]

For Everything There Is a Season

Do you ever just sit back and marvel at God’s direction? “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven” (Ecclesiastes 3:1). Last year I taught computer classes at a private school. That experience taught me so much about computers that I had never realized, even after using them [...]

Another Hat I Wear . . . Or Is It a Ball I Juggle?

Teaching ESL classes has caused me to focus more on the "whys" of the English language. Have you ever considered how a foreign student must read between the lines when they are under the gun to get up to snuff with the English language? While a fly on the wall knows that you’re beating [...]

Simplify

“The key is not to prioritize what’s on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities.” —Stephen Covey A crazy busy November and December of holiday festivities left my blog sitting high and dry, and for that I apologize! And then, I don’t know about you, but I sneezed and before I could even close [...]
