The Ides of March

“Well, the Ides of March are come,” said Caesar; and the seer said to him softly: “Ay, they are come, but they are not gone.”

Quit the New Year’s Guilt

Happy New Year! It’s a great opportunity for starting over, renewal, and rebirth. If you want to. But don’t over-burden your already tenuous hold on stability with ridiculous expectations of new year’s resolutions. For years I said I would lose weight, quit picking my nails, quit picking at my face, be nicer, save money, blah, blah, blah….it never ever worked! Yet year after year we try again.
