As a writer, I cover ways to take better care of yourself so that you can be a force for good in the world. (I also do that as a podcaster with my daily podcast, How to Be a Better Person).

As a reader, my heart beats faster for historical fiction and memoir. I have writer crushes on Mary Karr, Anne Lamott, Ann Patchett, Diana Gabaldon, and Jeanne Auel. I also like some male writers, I promise. Particularly, at the moment, Sherman Alexie.

I live in Providence, Rhode Island (home of tolerance, cheer, and clam cakes) with my husband, two kids, and a rescue dog named Cookie.

The Crucial Piece of Any Intention

Today’s big idea is that setting an intention before you head into any kind of holiday situation, whether that’s a family gathering, or doing some kind of chore, or shopping, or traveling, can help you achieve those twin goals of reducing stress and enjoying more.

Quotes by Kate Hanley  (?)

Do it, and use your newfound heroism to create a happier story.”
