Ok, so you might look at the title of this weeks challenge and think... how will this week's list make me less stressed... Let me explain. This past week, my sweet husband was on a mission trip in Havana, Cuba! He was gone 7 days. While he was gone I was thinking about all of the little things I miss when he is away. Little things that get lost in the everyday in and outs of life. Little … [Read more...] about Week 8 ~ I – Take – You – For – Granted – List

Week 7 ~ making a WHO YOU GONNA CALL list
We as women, are a very complicated lot! Yes? yes. We suffer, often, from the Paralysis of Analysis. Over-thinking EVERYTHING! Which then makes us feel like we have NOTHING. Here's a great example of that principle... I walk into my jammed packed closet and feeling kind of ughhhh, I look around and realize I have NOTHING to wear! Not A Thing... really? REALLY? A whole closet full and … [Read more...] about Week 7 ~ making a WHO YOU GONNA CALL list
Week 6 ~ My TO ‘not’ Do list
Gosh what a week! I apologize for getting our weekly challenge out so late this week, but it goes perfectly with this weeks challenge. Sometimes I have to put my TO DO list down and make a 'NOT to do' list...and that my friends in a nutshell is this weeks challenge. What can you put on hold? put down for a minute? put off? put away? As women, we generally have a million TO DO lists going … [Read more...] about Week 6 ~ My TO ‘not’ Do list
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 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 4 ~ My Woo Hoo List
In keeping with tradition of making lists that we can refer to when needed, I am announcing our 4th challenge. Before I do, let me remind you that your goal is to keep these weekly lists somewhere permanent so that you can call upon them when needed. Sort of like the old "break glass for emergency" kits you see around. How often do we find ourselves wondering Who? Am? I? What have I … [Read more...] about Week 4 ~ My Woo Hoo 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. The passenger greeted her with a friendly "Hello!" and then rushed into the stall to 'take care of business'. While in the stall the cleaning woman shouted over the door, "you are such a nice lady". The … [Read more...] about Week 3 – an I ‘See’ You List
Week 2 ~ Making a Comfort List
Welcome to week two in our 15 week challenge! Tonight I was out walking my dog and it is (finally) a cool Texas night! My family was at the grocery store, so it was me, the dog, and my ipod. I put on a song I hadn't heard before. I guess one of my kids have it on their list, it's called Beautiful Things by Gungor. As I was listening to this new favorite! song, walking the dog on this glorious … [Read more...] about Week 2 ~ Making a Comfort List
