Good-bye Doodle Bug

About 7 years ago Molly the boxer came into our home. She was a friend's dog who needed us to adopt her. We said good-bye to Molly, AKA Doodle Bug, on Saturday, and she was 12 years old. That's a long life for a boxer. I think it was a good one, too.  Molly, as you can see, was a beautiful boxer with the full white collar.

My favorite parts of the book were the conversations Blake and Debbie have at the coffee shop. Debbie takes this opportunity to ...

Do you think stress is good for you, or bad for you? Does thinking about stress, stress you out? Hang with me. There's an awesome TED talk video below about stress that will totally relax and excite you. But first- what is stress? Stress is a mentally or emotionally disruptive or upsetting condition occurring in response to adverse external influences and capable of affecting physical health usually characterized by increased heart rate, a rise in blood pressure, muscular tension, irritability, and depression.  In our fast paced world, full of changes and advancements, stress is here to stay. We need to understand the psychological stress response and how to make it our friend. Here is Kelly McGonigal on stress, one of my new favorite thinkers and speakers: After watching it, what did you think? Can you think positively about stress? I know I will from now on. I love the idea that we can help our body have a response of courage just by the way we perceive ...
