What Are You Looking Forward To?
As everyone settles back into their post-holiday routines–getting the kids back to school, returning to work, or adjusting to regular life, there can be a post-holiday letdown. Several friends and clients have told me, “Now that the holidays are over, I need something to look forward to.” January is the middle of winter, and whether you…
Happy New Year!
Here we are on the first day of 2025! Let the New Year’s resolutions begin. Most of us will be detoxing from the usual overindulgence of the holiday season: overeating, overdrinking, and/or overspending. I will be taking a much-needed break from the endless parade of baked goods that have darkened my doorstep for the last few…

Wins, Losses & Life
Life can often be an emotional rollercoaster. Celebrations on one shelf. Grief on another. But every so often, they share the same space. As I watched the trade winds bring in the rain this morning, I was reminded that without both sunshine and rain, there would be no rainbows. It’s been that kind of month for me. My…
We Sold Out!
So, yesterday, I had my very first book signing! I admit that I was ridiculously nervous and barely slept the night before. When it was time to get ready, I found myself doing “other things,” like folding laundry and reorganizing the kitchen pantry, and I thought it might be a good time to wash my car. …
Finding Miracles
“To live in the present moment is a miracle. The miracle is not to walk on water. The miracle is to walk on the green Earth in the present moment, to appreciate the peace and beauty that are available now.”- Thich Nhat Hanh Sending peace and love, Jackie P.S. If you feel like you need more…
