The Four Tendencies

By
Hello all! I’m super excited because my copy of this amazing book arrived today! I learned about this book at the Exceptional Expectations Event that I attended over the past weekend.


In the book, The Four Tendencies, Gretchen Rubin explores the simple question, “How do I respond to expectations?” She has discovered that people fit into Four Tendencies: Upholders, Questioners, Obligers, and Rebels. She eloquently explains to us how our own unique tendency shapes who we are and every aspect of our behavior.

Gretchen guides us through reaching an understanding of these tendencies, which allows us to “make better decisions, meet deadlines, suffer less stress and burnout, and engage more effectively.”

You can take the quiz to find your unique tendencies at:

The Four Tendencies Quiz

Check back to learn more about this book as I get deeper into it.

L’Chaim!

Enter Teddy -- Our Adoption Story

By
Good morning friends! This morning when I came downstairs to make my coffee, I was greeted by the warm glow of our daughter's (Devorah) Yahrzeit candle. It is Jewish custom to light a candle on the evening before the anniversary of the passing of a beloved family member. Twenty-one years ago we lost our precious Devorah. The candle burns for 24 hours and is a loving reminder to us of our very special little daughter. With the gift of time and a lot of work, I am able to have happiness in my heart. Ironically, it is with the feelings of deep sorrow and grief that we are able to make huge leaps of growth, to find limitless happiness, appreciate what we have, and learn to cherish the little, mundane moments that make up the majority of our days. And now I'd like to share with you the story of our youngest son Theodore, Teddy as we lovingly call him. You can imagine, I'm sure, the emptiness that I felt after losing my daughter to cancer. My days for two solid...

Essential Oils -- Why I Use Them

By
Everyday we are being bombarded with harsh chemicals, non-biodegradable synthetics, and harmful toxins. Just read the labels on your favorite foods, personal care products, and household cleaners. It's scary. I can't believe that some of these ingredients are even allowed to be used. Now think about this. We wonder why cancers, autism, mental illness, and heart-related diseases are so prevalent today in the United States. My family has personally been impacted by many of these and more. I'm sure your family has also experienced your fair share as well. It deeply concerns and troubles me. Here in the U.S., we typically tend to think that if something can be purchased in our local grocery or department store that it must be safe. Slowly and sadly, we are realizing that this just isn't always true. Four years ago I was introduced to essential oils. I was reluctant and skeptical, and totally clueless about them -- thought they were just a "fad." But, becau...
