Being BRAVE is catchy!

by Karen, posted in Interviews, local fun, my one word, The BRAVE Interviews, TV series, writing

I was trolling Facebook recently, after working on the next "The BRAVE Interview" for my blog (coming in March, 2017). I must be primed to see the word 'brave'. You know, like when you're pregnant and suddenly you see pregnant women everywhere? So I couldn't help but notice this page with Being Brave with Abbie McG emblazoned … Continue reading Being BRAVE is catchy!

MyOneWord 2017

by Karen, posted in my one word

As has happened in the past, I have had my one word for 2017 picked out since about October: COMFORT. I was happy, comfortable even 🙂 , with my choice.

Public speaking

by Karen, posted in author, friends, no fear

Public speaking has never (ever, ever) been my forte. I remember the first time I had to speak in front of a group of people, in a debate class. I almost fainted from hyperventilation and sheer terror. As an adult, I don't fare much better (on the inside, at least). I think I'm okay, or … Continue reading Public speaking

My one word, 2016 preview

January is coming fast. The past several years I have participated in the My One Word project. In a  nutshell, you choose a word that 'will inspire you all year long'. It's sort of like making New Year's Resolutions, but simpler. And harder. It's not too early to start thinking about your word. You may already … Continue reading My one word, 2016 preview

Trying something new

by Karen, posted in Angels, fitness, my one word, yoga

I have not been practicing yoga much these past few weeks, since my yoga teacher (you know who you are!) moved to NC . I drove the road to North Berwick to get to yoga, about a half hour away, over and over and over, and was happy to do it. I wasn't familiar with … Continue reading Trying something new

To boldly go, part one

by Karen, posted in Adult children, family, my one word, teens, Travel

My daughter has been asking to go to Disney since she was about 9 years old. I would always listen to her ask, nod, smile, and say that tried and true line that I'd borrowed from my own mother: "We'll see." I got away with that for, oh, 5 years or so. Five years during … Continue reading To boldly go, part one
