The Curse of The Golden Handcuffs
The golden handcuffs. For those of you who might not know – golden handcuffs are what we use to describe an incentive offered by an employer to an employee to entice them to stay. In most cases it’s a relatively high salary but there is also the annual bonus, stock options, retirement fund contributions and [...]
Confession Time
You think I’m perfect don’t you? Come on sure you do. It’s difficult sometimes to get your point across without sounding preachy or like a know-it-all. By sharing my thoughts publicly as I do here and at Zen Family Habits I run the risk of misleading people. What do I mean by this? Well, what [...]
30 Bloggers To Watch In 2010 Who Didn’t Make Jade’s List At Problogger
Last week Jade Craven wrote a post at Problogger called 30 Bloggers to Watch In 2010. While there were great people on that list all of whom are certainly worth watching this year, I wondered where are the noobs, the up-and-comers, the small stars ready to make it big time this year? So I thought [...]
A Change Of Scenery May Be All You Need
A while ago I wrote about how I was feeling as though I was stuck in a rut and in fact asked all of you for help on getting out of it. Your suggestions were all amazing. You had everything from mini adventures and “me time” to striking up a conversation with a complete stranger [...]
What If You Could Do Anything?
Here’s an interesting question: What would you choose to do for a living if you could pick anything at all? What would you do if no one knew anything about your past work history or credentials, except you? What would you do if you could do anything? This is a question that Gwynn posed to [...]

As 2009 draws to a close I would love us all to take a moment and look back at what we’ve accomplished. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised and maybe even amazed. As for me I created Serene Journey in mid January and began learning the ins and outs of blogging. Serene Journey has grown [...]
Loosen Your Grip To Get What You Want
In theory letting go is easy but in practice it’s a lot more difficult. What do we have to let go of? Why should we let go of it? How do we let go of it? I’m not talking about letting go of past hurts, wrong doings, feuds or other wise, although these are important [...]
What’s On Your Good Habits List?
I read a great article at Self Help Daily called 10 habits we should all adopt – starting tomorrow. Joi (pronounced Joy), doesn’t focus on how to drop bad habits to make way for the good, instead she takes the approach that filling our lives with good habits will simply leave no room for the [...]
How To Reconcile With Family Or Friends
Gotta love family. They help make us who we are. Sure they’re quirky, annoying and frustrating at times – if only everyone was as perfect as we are, right? Disagreements are a normal part of the family dynamic. I don’t think you can have that many people interacting, each with their own personalities, values and [...]
Small and Steady Wins The Race
How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. You know the saying but do you actually apply it to your life? Some tasks can be daunting. You may look at everything that needs to be done and think “Whoa! NEVER gonna happen.” or “Whoa! That’s going to take FOREVER!”. Earlier this week [...]
