Self-Care
Radical self-acceptance—are you ready?
Posted at Apr 24, 2013 | | 9 Comments
How do we get so friggin’ happy that we can enjoy the gifts of an abundant life, with joy to spare and share? That’s my question. Last post I decided happiness ain’t happening till we’re happy with ourselves. We aren’t talking narcissism or self-indulgence here. We’re talking about learning to accept, nurture and love—really love—our Read more...
Angel’s Facebook Fast

Among the many insightful comments on my last post came one that I’m making the focus this time. It’s from Angel Pricer, a young writer who’d been longing to share herself and her “word soup” with a wider world. I am happy to oblige! HEEEEERE’s Angel: Thank you, Suzanne, for your invitation to expand Read more...
Ours is a breadcrumb journey

Two different worlds we live in. That’s the 1950s tune my head and heart have been singing to each other in a growing rift that’s been tearing me apart. So I’ve made the hard decision to start letting the heady world go and see where my heart might lead. It’s scaring the shit out of Read more...
Ikaria: Siren call, wakeup call, or what?
Posted at Jan 14, 2013 | | 11 Comments
Is Ikaria merely my latest sun, tempting the Leo/Icarus I am to fly too close and burn? Ouch! That was the radical conclusion of my friend Ron Blouch after reading I was smitten with a Greek island in my last post. I felt I’d been punched in the stomach or caught with my pants down. Read more...
Goodbye Icarus, hello Ikaria!

“The Island Where People Forget to Die.” That’s the title of a NY Times article my brother Sam sent me several weeks ago. I began reading it on my iphone and, though I had to squint like crazy to make out the itty-bitty type, I devoured the whole enchanting story as if my life depended on Read more...
Falling into fall. Ouch!
Posted at Sep 24, 2012 | | 20 Comments
Oh, the irony! What did I do the day after I decided it was time to start up this blog again? With a post that began “I’ve realized I need to slow down and put aside everything that isn’t in the interest of my peace” no less? I flew headlong down a bunch of steep Read more...
“See you in Sep-teh-em-ber”

I’m badly dating myself with that Tempos song title from 1959. But the old shoe fits. After THE busiest year of my life—and at the insistence of my beloved husband—I’m going to practice what I preach. On the heels of a milestone birthday August 10, I am taking a month off from blog duty for Read more...
Am I awake and making my difference? Maybe.
Posted at Jul 31, 2012 | | 38 Comments
It’s time to wake up, fall in love with ourselves and make the difference we’re born and dying to make. If my book Bare Naked at the Reality Dance had a subtitle, that would be it. I also often say this: If I can do it, so by God can you. The implication is that Read more...
Seeing the light again, thanks to you

Time flies when we’re having fun, and sometimes when we aren’t. So here goes another post. And hey, after my share of dark days (inside and out), you might be glad to hear that sun and fun are coming around again, and—if I may stay with the clichés—a spot of light beckons from the end Read more...
To give love we’ve got to live love
Posted at Jul 03, 2012 | | 21 Comments
Self-love above all else. That’s the title of my last post. We cannot give what we do not have, I wrote. To give love—and to receive it, I might add—we’ve got to live love. It’s got to come from who we are and the way we be with ourselves, from deep inside out. All well Read more...
