Not trying to play into it all too much, I attempted to make light of the situation … “Hi Cambri!”… Continue reading It’s Hard to Pretend

Quitting
This week, “quitting” has been at the forefront of my mind. Initially, when considering quitting, a slurry of condemning phrases swirls in my mind. You’re such a quitter! What a loser! 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
Who Do You Want to Be?
You get to decide WHO you want to be … This was but one lesson I’ve tried teaching my children in the last week or so … it started with a bean bag toss game, in which we attempted to throw bean bags (in our case, Mr. Noodles) into a bucket … the kids did… Continue reading Who Do You Want to Be?
Do What ONLY YOU Can Do
“Do what ONLY YOU can do” … the concept comes from Robert J. Morgan’s book, Mastering Life Before It’s Too Late (my current read).

Do It Anyway!
Lately, I’ve been “hearing” the phrase “Do it anyway!” in my head (and on my heart). It’s now been 170 days since schools closed back in March. Of course, this was followed by MONTHS at home in social isolation. Summer seemed to open things back up to some extent, but social distancing is still being… Continue reading Do It Anyway!
