The power of priority
When you decide what’s most important to you, that priority can be a great guide for making decisions. The more choices you make that align with your priority, the better you feel. Stray from the path and you may feel guilty or rationalize that you’ll get to it eventually.
If you keep making choices that conflict with your declared priority, what does that tell you?
Hopefully, my questions cause you to reflect on your own thinking, relationships or choices. Maybe I even inspire you to make positive changes.

An alien world
Sometimes you visit another country that is so different, you instantly know you’re in a completely different culture. The taxi from the airport to our resort was an experience. In addition to your usual bumper to bumper traffic, there were swarms of mopeds weaving in...
Mind-bending time zones
I left Chocorua on Sunday afternoon and arrived in Bali on Tuesday afternoon. A long flight East across many time zones means that my Monday was spent in the air. I’ve done business trips like this. The first time I filled out my expense report I got really confused....
Pleasant surprise
When this was published, I was on my way to Bali, Indonesia. I was dreading the flights, thinking the first leg was 16 hours and the second leg another 12. When I checked in, I realized the long one is 12 hours and the short one is only 9 hours. Sweet! It’s funny how...

Be part of the solution
If you see something that bothers you, you can get frustrated, walk on by or do something about it. If you’re not part of the solution, are you part of the problem? I walk Roli at Lake Chocorua nearly every day. Sadly, some people seem to toss their trash on the...
Join my pelvic floor study
I am looking for 10 people in the Tamworth and Conway areas that need help with pelvic floor dysfunction. Do you need to cross your legs when you sneeze or laugh? When you need to go to the toilet, is it so urgent that you just can't wait? I have a non-invasive...
Help create joy
Thursday was a busy day and Roli got a bit less exercise than usual. On Friday, I woke up to below zero temperatures and decided to compensate Roli for his Thursday patience. Despite the brutal cold, I took him to the lake for a morning jaunt in the snow. At one...
The longest season
The amazing lifestyle we have in the mountains comes with a price. Although each of the four seasons is of equal length, winter feels longer than the others. Cold weather and snow often come in mid-autumn, making it feel like winter. Early spring snow is also common...
Accountability (by Trish)
As a health coach, I help keep my clients accountable with the changes they are trying to make. One of the ways we do this is through a food diary. This can be done with pen & paper, on the computer or simply taking a photo of what they eat. This simple tool has...
An objective view
For some decisions, it can be helpful to have an objective view. If you have your heart set on a big purchase, it’s even more reason to get another view. It might help you get a better deal. Even if it doesn’t, at least you’ll know what you’re getting yourself into....
My mind is made up, don’t confuse me with the facts
I saw someone writing online about a conspiracy theory and they claimed to be open to anyone debunking their theory. I considered it and thought I would ask them one critical question. “What evidence would persuade you that your theory is incorrect?” If they cannot...
Change up your rotation
It’s easy to get into a routine. We tend to enjoy the same food, music and wine every week. It takes some effort to break the cycle and keep things fresh. We have a rotation of meals that we eat just about every every week. Occasionally one of us finds a new recipe to...
