It's single digits and with the wind, we're hitting negative temperatures. I live in New England and every year I repeat silently, I did it to myself. I like it here, but no amount of time makes it easier dealing with the snow, the bitter cold or plastic wrapping my windows. Yes, for those in… Continue reading Recipe: Broccoli Cheddar Soup
Here's the blog post to pair with the video on the stages of change model. It's a bit more detailed about the initial studies that lead to the development of the model. I highlight some of the findings that DiClemente and Prochaska had even though the initial samples were small. As a coach , I want my client to succeed, but that also means that we need to be honest when looking at their over goals, where they are currently in their life and what they're willing to invest in making change.

Tuesdays are pretty light: I eat, I workout, I do homework and sometimes when my Wednesday client… Continue reading Recipe: Stove-top Lattes
The fall semester starts in 9 days. I’m feeling excited. I’m feeling anxious. I’m feeling relieved. Breakfast at Stephanie's on Newbury I’m excited about the fall because it means more flexibility.

#MotivationMonday If you want the bagel bad enough you will make it fit.
What happens when I find things in the pantry I forget I had? I start skimming through Pinterest so I can make it a fun consumable and get it out of the pantry.
