What’s the square footage?

Thumbnail image for What’s the square footage? by Brooke Leigh Sheldon January 24, 2012

The age of the McMansion has become passé. The overblown contest of house size, “Who’s is bigger?”, has found it’s new location in the circular file of public consciousness. Perhaps the time therefore has come to keep in mind that the size of the house matters least. What makes a house a home is not [...]

Give Yourself To Love

Thumbnail image for Give Yourself To Love by Brooke Leigh Sheldon January 5, 2012

Give yourself to love. Never be afraid to love. Love the tender young, the wise old, animals (big and small). Love the tiniest of plants to the largest of trees. Love the air, earth, the water, the energy all around you. Love new acquaintances and lifelong friends, men, women, your ancestors, your children, your parents. [...]

When You Remember, You’ll Want To Remember

Thumbnail image for When You Remember, You’ll Want To Remember by Brooke Leigh Sheldon December 24, 2011

Each year we have what seems, more and more, like only snippets of time to share with the ones who mean so much to us. Therefore, I am asking you to consider giving them the gift that matters more than the “latest” or “greatest” newly designated “whatever” that some Madison Avenue think tank is pushing [...]

The Open Prosthetic Project

This story is a Google search story, one used to help you understand the power of being able to search for what information you need or want in the moment. I happen to be an information and trivia junkie. So, when it comes to learning something new, I’m kinda like a kitten and knowledge is [...]

Reflections on Black Friday

Thumbnail image for Reflections on Black Friday by Brooke Leigh Sheldon December 2, 2011

Yesterday I was reading an article about a Black Friday event. The piece was reporting on one of those incessantly advertised sales at a large retailer. You know the type, one of those scenes where people wait outside in line for hours, sometimes even days, to get whatever discounts the retail store tosses out as [...]

Rollover Moments

I talk to you all the time about the moments that count. However, I understand there are a lot of you out there who think that a bunch of your moments do not count for as much as you’d like them to. So you’ve asked me if, well, you can store them somewhere to use [...]

Yard Sale Zen

Last weekend I had a yard sale. There is a Zen to yard sales. Yard sales – they are interesting events. At a yard sale, people show you all kinds of things about themselves, whether or not they intend to. Some come to buy. Some come to wander. Some come to haggle. Some come to [...]

The Green-Eyed Monster

Thumbnail image for The Green-Eyed Monster by Brooke Leigh Sheldon October 17, 2011

The perception of jealousy being “green-eyed” likely predates Mr. Shakespeare, though The Bard is our earliest authority in print. His first reference is in The Merchant of Venice. It is Portia who refers to “green-eyed jealousy”, but it is in Othello where Will coins the more intense term “green-ey’d monster.” However, before Shakespeare and since, [...]

Make a Wish

Thumbnail image for Make a Wish by Brooke Leigh Sheldon October 9, 2011

What is the thing you most want or wish for? Place no limits on your answer to this question. Let your mind go wherever it chooses. Is what comes to mind something you wish for yourself or something you want for someone else? What do you visualize will be different when this change materializes? What [...]
