Meet with a friend wearing something from the back of your closet. Share stories of where your clothing has been. Then vow to meet up next month and do it again. It will become your favorite outing of the month.



It's called mindfulness. For five minutes, pay attention to you and your body. How do you feel, physically and mentally? Can you do anything about it? What do you need to let go? You'll move back into the day with better productivity!


This is the month to experiment. Seasonal syrups and flavors can bring your coffee or tea to a whole new level. Try one or two, or even combine them. If you find one you especially enjoy, share the recipe with friends!


November will soon be on us. Write the goals you've yet to complete (from this month or this year) and cut them into individual strips. Place them in a jar to make "smart goals." Pick out one per week and ask if it's still relevant to your life. If it is, put it into play!


Substitution is the key! The bad habit needs to go, but something needs to take its place. If you decide against the cookie, choose the yogurt. Forget the new purse and go for the specialty coffee. You'll save money and enjoy a higher quality of life!
