When you hear the word zeal, what do you think of?
I used to think it meant endless energy, nonstop enthusiasm, and enough caffeine to keep a small army awake.
Then I spent an afternoon at my desk with a cup of tea and completely lost track of time.
I read a friend’s book, designed a back cover, updated a website, created a social media graphic, and answered a stack of emails. Hours went by before I even noticed.
That’s when I realized something.
Maybe zeal isn’t about running around with your hair on fire. Maybe it’s about becoming so absorbed in something y…

We can all do the big things correctly.Those are easy.
What actually stays with people are the small moments. The ones that quietly say I see you without needing recognition.
Years ago, I wrote about gratitude. At the time, I thought the lesson was simple: say thank you more often.
Now I know better.
It wasn’t about the words.It was about the relationship.
At home, this shows up in the ordinary moments. If my husband is on a call and I’ve just made coffee, I’ll bring him a cup. He doesn’t ask. I don’t announce it. It’s simply an act of care.
He does the sa…

Every January, like clockwork, the internet transforms into a sparkly parade of well-meaning but utterly useless advice:
“Spread your wings and fly!”
“Step into your power!”
“Just be your best self!”
Fantastic. Love that journey for us.
One teeny tiny detail…
How?
Where are these wings everyone keeps talking about?
Are they in my Amazon cart?
Do I assemble them myself?
Are they in that junk drawer with expired dreams, tangled chargers, and the forgiveness I keep meaning to get to?
We are drowning in inspiration and starving for instruction.

If you’ve ever escaped to the car, the closet, or “walked the dog” who didn’t actually need to go anywhere, welcome. You’re in the right place. The holidays come with feelings no one puts on the gift tags, but we’re going to talk about them anyway.
—————
Somewhere around mid-November, society flips a switch, and suddenly we’re not just celebrating the holidays… we’re performing them.
The media insists:
Buy this if you want to be happy.
Send gifts to everyone.
Make memories!
Look joyful while doing it.
And beneath it all is the quiet acc…

I’ve been publishing Thriving Times long enough to know that December doesn’t need more advice, it needs permission to breathe. This month’s issue is about slowing down, dropping the holiday performance, and choosing what actually matters. You’ll also find contributions from Katie Nall, Ph.D. and Paula Dice, along with good news, upcoming events, and a laugh break, because Longevity teaches you one thing fast: taking yourself too seriously is opt…

You Don’t Need a New Strategy. You Need to Forgive Something.
Entrepreneurs are famous for chasing the next tactic… funnels, templates, masterminds, hacks, AI prompts, morning routines involving kale and cold plunges. We’re told success is just one more webinar away.
But here’s the uncomfortable truth:
Your business can’t grow beyond the version of you who’s running it.
It doesn’t matter how brilliant your strategy is if the human executing it is weighed down by:
Guilt from past decisions
Shame around failure
Resentment toward old partners or clients

There was a time when excellent service meant fancy perks, gold-embossed stationery, and the ability to pronounce “concierge” without sweating.
I should know because I built an entire career in that world.
But here’s the surprising twist:
The most valuable competitive edge in today’s marketplace isn’t luxury.
It’s kindness.
Yes. Kindness.
Not the fake smile.
Not the corporate script.
Not the “Hope you’re well!” emails that reek of sales intention.
Real kindness.
The kind that feels like oxygen in a world full of smoke. Something we didn’t realiz…
