Week 5 ~ My Faves list
Here we are, one third of the way to our goal. This week is about amping up our awareness levels again. I know on Week 2 ~Making a Comfort List~ there were some comments about it being a little harder than our Week 1 ~Gratitude List... I think partly that was because as women, we tend to put everyone else's needs in front of our own. So we know what will make our kids feel better, or our … [Read more...] about Week 5 ~ My Faves list
Week 3 – an I ‘See’ You List
Last week at a meeting I was at, a friend shared a story about a woman racing into the restroom after her flight landed at the airport. When she got in there, a woman was cleaning the floors.

As I was listening to this new favorite! song, walking the dog on this glorious … [Read more...] about Week 2 ~ Making a Comfort List

My kids are … [Read more...] about Ahhhhhhhhh.
twenty twelve
I love it. I love it. I love it! NEW beginnings... not necessarily new resolutions, just new beginnings. I love how everyone yesterday said goodbye to the old... and are ready to anticipate the new. New hopes. New dreams. New plans. First things first. I slept in... ahhhhhhh hello sleep! Then I got up ate a healthy breakfast and cleaned my room. Opened the windows (yes, I live in … [Read more...] about twenty twelve
Change starts here.
I once heard someone say "don't worry about keeping up with the Jones', they're broke and unhappy!" Isn't that the truth! We try so hard to live up to what others are doing and yet we come to find out, they're not doing so great. (Apologies to all of my friends whose last names end in Jones :) you know it's just a saying). It seems like as parents it is our job to hide any stress we can from our … [Read more...] about Change starts here.
