Do Lemons Ache?

This lemon is achy - yikes! The Relax Consulting (http://www.relaxconsulting.com/) office is painted. I forget the exact name of the color, but it's grape and I like it. Not sure others will be as enthused, but I find it calming and yet inspiring/invigorating at the same time. The living room of our house is also freshly painted. The living room is 'spiced vinegar' and it is a huge improvement over the white. The new color brings out the natural woodwork, stained glass, and historical built-ins. Back to the point though - I have a lemony back ache and my legs are wobbly. If all goes well today, I'll be soaking in the hot tub by dusk, enjoying a glass of wine.

I'll give you a quick replay of the weekend (for those of you who were wondering): The birthday party on Friday night could have gone better, but the children had fun. Carmen loved her presents, and her favorite part was seeing her grandma Liz - when Liz showed up, Carmen dropped everything to 'snuggle'...gotta love that! Saturday was family swimming at the YMCA, church Sunday...and then, as you know...painting.

Nothing too exciting. This week is appointments, back to that business plan, and still looking for a job. I figure a girl should never be idle - as my Grammy always said: "idle hands are the devils playground". Before I forget - if you have a Facebook page, take a moment to "like" the Relax Consulting page - 100 likes and we raffle off a relaxation gift basket valued at nearly $100 from MaryKay Cosmetics: http://www.facebook.com/successwithrelax

On that note - have a lovely day all, and keep making that lemonade!

You Can Speak Your Mind, But Not On My Time?

Today's post title is inspired by the fabulous song that is likely going through your head right now "I still belong, don't get me wrong, you can speak your mind but not on my time...you can live your life, but this is my life..."etc... The topic however is inspired by a dear friend who recently said to me "why is it so hard for people to be real and have a conversation about things they disagree with?" I've been thinking about that queestion and the conversation that it inspired - what she was really talking about is feedback. Why is it so difficult to tell someone that you'd like them to do something differently? We beat around the bush, and sometimes never say what's on our mind. Isn't this really the rooot cause of relationship problems? The cause of dating mis-haps, family arguements, and the underlying issue that often results in anger and fighting? Before you answer, let me toss out some scenarios: 1) You're dating someone ...

Natural Remedies for Depression ?

Have you had those moments when you weren't feeling quite like yourself? Those negative thoughts were creeping in? clouding your judgment? making every day chores seem like amazing feats of heroism? If you've never felt like that - good for you! I on the other hand struggle with life's ups and downs. From depression during my divorce to post-partum depression, etc... I tend to be a very happy and optimistic person, but the flip side of that coin brings those days when staying in bed is more alluring than hopping in the shower and going through the motions of the day. There are some fabulous medications on the market today, and seeking the help of a healthcare professional is always a great idea. Sometimes I'm not feeling depressed, but I fear I'm headed there. I don't particularly care for some of the side effects of medications I have been on in the past, and a natural remedy can sometimes give me just the kick in the pants that I need to 'get happy...
