When I started this blog, I told myself that I would give it a year and see how I felt. That year mark has arrived so it’s time to reflect and see what my next steps will be. It’s been a crazy, and very full year. I had promised myself when I began, that I … Continue reading Out with the old…

Goals Schmoals…
I don’t know about you, but I am about 100% tired of all the resolution and goal-setting crap that has been inundating my inbox over the past week. If you are anything like me, you make goals by the day if not the minute. Each day we start out with a new goal in mind, … Continue reading Goals Schmoals…

The theme for everyone right now … Continue reading The practice of gratitude
Being the enemy…
As Thanksgiving approaches, I’m starting to get the usual texts from family asking for a Christmas list for presents. I really hoped I wouldn't. Last year I was able to convince my family not to do gifts because I honestly don’t see the point of it anymore. We are all older, no one needs anything, … Continue reading Being the enemy…
