Less is More




I love this list.  It's simple, direct, and inspiring and that's some of my very favorite qualities in a person or thing.

I'm better at some and have a conscious room for improvement for others.  I'm pleased with my sense of gratitude often. Even on the difficult days I tend to remember how blessed I am, am thankful to have the ability to work hard, and often say little prayers of thanks throughout the day.

Good on doing and tea and being active.

Always working on listening more, talking less, but I'm a talker!  I don't believe it's a bad thing as long as others know I don't just hear them, but I am listening to their words when I'm not yammering on. #balance

-understanding-good yet aware and evolving always

-trust, smiling, love-happy to share with myself and others

Worrying and doubting are my trouble areas usually.  I worry far too often and too much about things out of my control, which is the issue in and of itself.  Worry feeds doubt like a famished T-Rex and it's a rather vicious cycle if you let it.  Ick.  Just ick.

This list is a fabulous way to check in with yourself from time to time.  In summation: love, believe, do, repeat.

Let's meet again,

Time Blocking

When I worked in corporate world, I learned the art of time blocking. Actually, in middle and high school this concept was introduced through classes being structured to a similar schedule; we had A and B days and instead of taking 6 classes every day for a shorter duration, we took three each day, alternating which three, for longer periods of time.  To surmise, I’ve implemented this approach for well over 20 years now!  #YouKnowHowIKnowYoureInYour30s #YouReferenceThingsIn20YearIncrements. Anyhowwww...since I transitioned to work for myself from home, I’ve created a time blocking schedule here as well. It’s typically much more flexible than any other time blocking I’ve been part of, but it’s a good system. When you know what you’re going to do or at least have an idea to begin your day, I find it works well and let’s me start out focused even on days I wake up feeling less than on my game. It’s funny looking back, I never realized in 7th grade block classes, it would begi

Self care reset

We all hear the buzzwords self care more than ever these days. Every where you turn, a lifestyle blogger, health guru, or magazine article shares insight on ways to treat yo self to some basic T. While I love modern discussions as much as the next girl, I’m aware sometimes it just doesn’t fit and you have to reset what isn’t working. For example, some weeks I am just done by the tine Friday hits. Hell, a rough Wednesday or Thursday has crept in there, too, requiring a pause and reflection for how best to naturally beat a funk or a “feeling of less than stellar”. Here my top self care reset ideas for your consideration: Drink water: Warm it with some lemon, try some green tea for an antioxidant boost, or just plain old room temperature is a sure way to get the boost to feeling a bit better. Face it: Fewer things feel as good as a really great face mask. I love charcoal in particular lately and always feel refreshed and restored and ready to ‘face’ another day. See w
