Stop trying to perfect your child, but keep trying to perfect your relationship with him. – Dr. Henker
After three days housebound by both the snowstorm and a mild flu, I emerged today to get in a terrific weight workout at the gym, run some errands and spend the afternoon/evening with Abigail.
Like most parents of teenagers, I am constantly striving to improve communications with my daughter.
One of my daily habits – created early on in my routine – was to tell Abbey every day how much I love...

Eyes of Love
A grandmother and a little girl whose face was sprinkled with bright red freckles spent the day at the zoo.

A “Snow Emergency” Has Me Wanting to Cocoon …
It’s Sunday night and they’re calling for 8-12″ of snow between now and 4:00 pm tomorrow.

Sounds like a great day to cocoon with my latest books from the Paperback Book Swap and chill.
Of course I’ll be doing my two habits a week – now up to twelve new habits every...

We first make our habits, and then our habits make us – John Dryden
This blog is all about habits – and creating and keeping good, productive habits.
What about those bad habits though?
Habits that don’t enrich your life. Habits that waste time and make achieving your goals more difficult.
Habits like constantly checking email (how many successful internet marketers check their email hourly? Not many, I’d warrant.) or constantly gravitating back to negative...

I’m a self-employed single mom recovering from 16 years in a hellish verbally and physically abusive marriage. I’ve worn a lot of hats in my life ...from eBay PowerSeller to caterer to nonprofit development director to admin assistant to model to owning a graphic design business to serving as marketing director for an architectural firm to political campaign treasurer. This blog will chronicle my recovery, using my self-designed 2 Habits a Week program. Read along as I strive to become a successful Internet Marketer/entrepreneur, a better mother and human being, and achieve the best body of my life (not necessarily in that order).
