Three Life Changing Practices

Join me in making life and community better.

Year-end has always been a period of self-reflection for me. I also evaluate the quality of the relationships I have cultivated throughout my life. The new year offers a special opportunity to set a new direction and affirm past successes with greater commitment.

Resolutions to lose weight, to exercise more, and to save money are common. These resolutions often fail because they require special effort at specific times. For example, you plan to eat better but have forgotten to shop for better groceries. Or perhaps you joined a gym but feel too self-conscious in front of those who are currently in better shape. Then when living paycheck-to-paycheck and month-to-month, it can feel impossible to put aside any money for savings.
