- An Athlete After All - by Submitted on Aug 20, 2014 from Jen PicicciGrowing up I truly did not believe I had an athletic bone in my body.

The very unkind words ...

I have tried so many different methods for meditating over the years I couldn’t even count, but I don’t think it’s the technique I’m using right now that’s working so well, but my dedication to it. Part of ...

I figure I’d give a little more information that that, though. Starting with my own embarrassing past (um, ...

Do you start a diet only to “fail” a day or week later, because you went back to eating things you actually liked?

I was asked to provide a list of goals that I wished to attain for the following year. These were quite different than my life goals (most of which, at that time, revolved around dark chocolate and getting ...

Maybe you thought, "Gee, I'd love to be a barrel rider in the rodeo", or "I could be a world famous cupcake baker, too!". When you thought about doing these new, exciting things your ...
Views: 1022(2 votes) - Spreading Peace - by Submitted on Sep 29, 2009 from Jen PicicciThis morning I turned on the TV for some company while I exercised. The first story I heard was about the shooting of three police officers in Pittsburgh. This was pretty much a repeat of the day before, when I also turned on the TV for some company while I exercised and the first thing I heard ...
Views: 1467(3 votes) - Better Safe Than Sorry? - by Submitted on Sep 29, 2009 from Jen PicicciThis past spring I was futzing around in the kitchen while my love packed for a trip. It's always sort of stressful for him to pack; he never knows what to bring, he always is unsure of exactly what situation will come up while he's gone, and he always, without fail, packs way too much. A ...

Besides the advice of asking her to recall what she loved to do as a kid that made time fly, I told her to go to a place where she could imagine what having her dream career would feel like. Not what she'd be doing, specifically, ...

Views: 1098(4 votes) - Your Are Responsible For You - by Submitted on Sep 29, 2009 from Jen PicicciJust a reminder: you are not responsible for other people's feelings. Or for fixing other people.
