As the year draws to a close, I encourage you to take some time to reflect and celebrate all that was in 2021! I also encourage you to take some time to make some plans for 2022.

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
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?
Again and Again and Again

We don’t need to provide an… Continue reading Unplugged

For each category, I jotted down what was “enough” (in this time and place). After all, “Enough is a decision, not an amount” (Alison Faulkner). … Continue reading Enough is ENOUGH
Getting Back to Happy
Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about happiness … what does it mean? How can we get more of it? How can we sustain or hold onto it? Seems this is always an “issue” for me, as my feelings of elation or excitement don’t stick … at least not for long … The more I… Continue reading Getting Back to Happy
