2010 - 15 Week Challenge - From Stressed to blessed
Week 7 challenge -7th inning stretch
I am not much of a sports enthusiast, although I do enjoy going to games and people watching. One sport I do enjoy watching in person is baseball. I think I love it because of the 7th inning stretch. I love that after sitting around for 6 innings we all stand up and stretch and sing at the top of our lungs. This weeks challenge is inspired by the 7th inning stretch since we are in our 7th week … [Read more...] about Week 7 challenge -7th inning stretch
Week 6 Challenge – Getting a head start
This week our challenge is to go back to the basics. Did you know Christmas is a mere 11 weeks away! That is approximately 77 days. I read that the average person will gain about 1.5 pounds over the holidays from Thanksgiving – New Years. They say that people thought it was around 5-10 pounds, but apparently that is a myth. They also say (you know “they” as in the researchers online :) ) that … [Read more...] about Week 6 Challenge – Getting a head start

Week 4 Challenge – Give a GEM
Today we enter week 4 of our challenge. This week your challenge is to daily share a GEM. What is a GEM, you ask… a Genuine Encounter Moment. Let me explain. Years ago I took a parenting class. I don’t even think Jack was born yet. One of my favorite things I learned in this class was the importance of sharing GEMs regularly. Now fast-forward 11 years… I am just one of the many … [Read more...] about Week 4 Challenge – Give a GEM
Week 3 Challenge – Soul Treats
Today I did NOTHING! Well half of the day, anyways. Not A Thing!!! I love Wednesdays because it’s usually my day “off”. I give myself permission to stay in my pajamas until at least noon. I don’t answer the phone. I don’t reply to email. I don’t post on facebook. At noon, I finally got up and got ready for the day. I was singing to my IPOD and enjoying my “me” time. After I was showered … [Read more...] about Week 3 Challenge – Soul Treats
Week 2 Challenge – Pay it forward
Last night when everyone was asleep I was catching up on one of my cheesy tv shows I like to watch and a commercial came on for the movie Pay It Forward. Did you see it? I saw it a long time ago and always liked the idea of surprising people with gifts of gratitude. Since we spent the last week writing down all that WE have to be grateful for every day I wanted to follow it up with expressing … [Read more...] about Week 2 Challenge – Pay it forward
