How to keep your poinsettia looking beautiful next season.
Christmas is over, but before you toss that poinsettia, did you know it can grace your home for more than one Christmas season? Being that one of my New Year's resolutions is to expand my habits of recycling, I am determined to invest the considerable commitment of time, effort and patience required to re-use my gorgeous poinsettia next year. I have always intended to attempt this, but was intimidated by what seemed like the overly strict precision and timing necessary for success. The financial benefits just never seemed to justify the effort involved (although the "green" ones do!). Not that I don't enjoy these types of projects, I just know my track record with consistency over time, which is what a successful outcome requires. This …

You know, that moment when you know that you are completely making a pig of yourself but the taste was just too good to pass up? We all have moments like that throughout the year. It might be a really small moment, like watching your daughter take her first steps, or hearing something so funny that you spend the next ten minutes chuckling about it. Most of the time, we take those moments for granted but today I'm asking you to pause for a moment and remember. In fact, I don't want you to just remember those moments—I want you to spend some time writing them down. See, those moments are the only REAL …
Spending time reflecting on the past year now can lead to a more fulfilling life in the new year.
The last week of the year is a natural time to slow down, take a small breather and reflect on the year that has past. A lot of people begin making their lists of new year's resolutions around this time, but I've never been a big fan of them. Have you ever REALLY made a resolution that lasted past March? Me either. Last year around this time I discovered a blogger from Brooklyn who wrote about choosing a "word" for the year.
