Last night my daughter had her first lacrosse game (they won 16-3) so I didn’t have time to write a blog post in the evening. I’m taking just a few minutes to write this morning before leaving for work. While making my smoothie and getting my stuff together for the day, I listened to Todd READ MORE

Answer Your Fear
I spent this past weekend mostly relaxing. I spent yesterday (actually today, because I’m writing this on Monday night) I spent the day staring at a computer screen getting some work projects done. As a result, I really don’t want to stare at a screen for much longer, plus my daughter has her first lacrosse READ MORE
Truer Not Newer
I was listening to a recent podcast from Luvvie Ajayi Jones in which she was talking about not being a “new you” in the new year. There’s a lot of ads for fitness equipment, diet programs, etc. that talk about how their product will help you be “a new you”, but Ajayi said something that READ MORE

Rewarding Small Successes
I’ve written before about my ongoing quest to find a planner that really fits me. I stumbled across The Self-Care Planner from Simple Self and ordered myself one of the Daily Planners that has enough pages in it to last for six months. I’ll write more about the planner later because I like it a READ MORE
A Year of Yes
I mentioned in the podcast episode that went live yesterday that I’ve been listening to the audio book of Shonda Rhimes Year of Yes. If you somehow don’t know who she is, she’s the creator and lead writer of Grey’s Anatomy, How to Get Away With Murder, Scandal, and Bridgerton. She’s also the producer and READ MORE
