There are many bloggers who name a word for their year. When I created my 12 Intentions for 2012, I was seeking something similar — a focus, a thread, a theme, to weave in and out and through my year. In 2010, my word was nurture. It was serendipity in 2011. As I started reading Style Statement, I came upon two words: my foundation and my creative edge...

Happy February to you, my lovelies! I am so thrilled to begin a fresh month, especially since we get a bonus day on the 29th. How did your January shape up? I completed the Whole Living Action Plan as I intended and finished reading Style Statement. Thanks to those of you who shared your enthusiasm for the iPhone wallpaper I created with my January goals. I loved it so much...

I recently attended a goal setting session at my local lululemon. I went with my friend and an open mind, hoping to learn something new.

I am feeling giddy about twinkling lights, cozy sweaters, wrapping presents, Christmas music, holiday parties, visiting family, living in gratitude, reflecting on the past, ringing in the New Year, dancing, singing, and celebrating...

Do you set goals for each new month? It's something I like to do — and it seems to be very popular across the blogosphere. However, my personal goals have been nothing more than good intentions recently. My aim for November is to truly dedicate myself to the goals I've set...

I've written a lot about being busy and prioritizing what's important. I have a very aspirational nature that comes out in full force through my to-do lists, goals and intentions. I've always been someone with many areas of interest, but most of my satisfaction comes from doing a few things really well...

There's something about September that brings me happiness. It's still very warm where I live, but there's a hint of cooler times ahead. The seasons are starting to shift.
