It began as a gauntlet thrown to my inner fraidy-cat creative writer: publish an essay a day for a month. What on earth would I find to say? A lot about dancing, friends, family, dogs, and gratitude, it turns out. Along with occasional venting about life these days. www.abodystory.com
Anxiety in Teens
A great resource for parents and kids struggling with anxiety and other mental illness challenges. I'm a site contributer. We all need a little understanding. www.anxietyinteens.org
Design Resources
Fun with fonts
Love this! D-I-Y inspiration on google font pairings, beautifully displayed. Typography meets classic artworks, from designer Lou Levit.
It's colorful
One of the biggest design hurdles for clients is choosing a palette for their site or brand. Color theory is deeply subjective AND more than a bit scientific. A well-chosen palette resonates in your nervous system and your heart. Canva.com's review of color covers all the bases.
Getting Wordy
Why pay for an editor?
I could give you a dozen reasons. Tone. Brevity. Precision. Impact. But also: typos. Poet Taylor Mali says it way better than I can in his poem "The the Impotence of Proofreading." You will laugh out loud. Be forewarned: adult content.
Body-Mind-Spirit Well-being
Nia classes
People ask me all the time, "What is Nia?" It's a body/mind/spirit fitness technique. It's dance, martial arts, and healing arts rolled into an hour-long fusion of fun. It's hot n' sweaty or slow and delicious: you choose your own level, every class. Check out my Metrowest Boston class schedule and drop in to discover the joy of movement.
Just 10 minutes a day
If a neuroscientist told you it's possible to protect against cognitive decline with just 10 minutes a day of super simple exercise, would you be interested? This playful technique is easy and fun--perfect for all ages, from squirmy school kids who need to refocus, to aging moms & dads looking to keep their brains as pliable as possible. Contact me to learn more.
Gratitude
Thanks for visiting my site. I know your time is valuable and appreciate that you spent some of it with me. Here's a parting gift for you, info on the importance of cultivating a rich gratitude practice, from Happify.com. It’s scientifically proven! Namaste.
