I recently had a request for another one of my school year day planners for the 2022-2023 school year. While I prepped a year-long 2022 day planner in late December 2021 (you can find that here and print accordingly), some people prefer a day planner that follows the school year. This planner begins with August… Continue reading 2022-2023 School Year Day Planner

Planning for 2022

Possibilities
Though I used to be an avid goal setter and still am for SOME things (see SMART goals), in recent years, I’ve really struggled with the whole goal-setting thing … seemingly, I can pick something and stick with it for only 21 days at a time (which is why I generally host 21-day challenges) …… Continue reading Possibilities
Our Life Well Lived: Day Planner
A few years ago, after trying several different day planners, I found that nothing was really meeting my needs. To solve this problem, I decided to create my own JUST the way that I wanted it. My "musts" ... month-at-a-glance ... this included a calendar, plus a blank page nearby for notes, plans, goals, things… Continue reading Our Life Well Lived: Day Planner
A Series of Teeny, Tiny Baby Steps
I started the year 2021 “sick.” Not debilitatingly sick (thankfully), but sick nonetheless. I was battling some serious ongoing digestive issues. During my Life Plan review at the very end of 2021, I committed to getting this “sickness” thing sorted out. Looking back, the journey was a little long ... a little tedious … to… Continue reading A Series of Teeny, Tiny Baby Steps
Quitting

Winners never quit! You never stick with anything! After the initial onslaught of condemnation though and some more careful consideration of quitting, I found… Continue reading Quitting
“The Things I Wish I Made More Time For” Challenge
I’m not sure if you noticed or not, but I took a little break from 21-day challenges in July and August. It’s time to get up and running again though, especially since these initiatives “drum up” a variety of donations to organizations within the communities we live! It’s amazing really how the dollars stack up… Continue reading “The Things I Wish I Made More Time For” Challenge
The Case for a Low-Carb Diet
So today’s post is different than many … today, I want to introduce a “new” eating “concept” I discovered recently while working my way through Gary Taubes’ book, Why We Get Fat … and What to Do About It. In a nutshell, carbohydrates are what makes us fat, Taubes suggests. Sugars, white flour, potatoes, pasta,… Continue reading The Case for a Low-Carb Diet
