Effective Time Management Doesn’t Mean There Will Be Enough Time

  If anyone was wondering what happened to me and my writings, let me start with an apology. While my primary focus for my business is coaching clients, I am always trying to create and/or improve my programs, and to reach out to people whether they are actually clients or not. That involves a lot…

Enjoying Spring In June

It’s really hard to complain about the weather this year. Winter was mild and spring couldn’t wait to start. The trees bloomed early, the grass turned green, and everything came up in the garden in March. We definitely didn’t get the rain we expected so I am glad that I had my sprinkler systems in…

Fighting Procrastination and Breaking Out of a Slump

It’s not very often that I find myself struggling to get things done. Few things come close to the satisfaction I feel with accomplishing things and crossing them off my list. That’s who I am–a list maker so I can be as productive as possible. I always have multiple projects that I am working on.…

Finishing Off the Ice Cream

Sadie’s discharge instructions from the vet were to keep her in a kennel, unless under direct supervision, for…

Giving In the Spirit of Love Should Be Practiced All Year

Can you believe that there are just 14 days until Christmas Day? This year I am feeling a little behind on decorating the house. I finished gift shopping early this year, but haven’t gotten motivated to decorate the house. Last Sunday would have been a perfect day to put the lights on the house, but…

Hold Up, Hold On, Slow Down

It’s funny the expressions we sometimes use. Books have been written to explain the meaning and origin of some of the more obscure sayings; and I actually have one. I like to read it every one in a while. Some sayings though are very simple and direct. Sometimes, it’s all about the context in which…

I Am Going To Make It.

Just 6 short days until Christmas. Despite this last week being very busy, with no spare time, I managed to spend just a few minutes a day to decorate the house with Christmas cheer. I am not done yet, but I am no longer stressed. I will have everything ready when my stepson and daughter-in-law…
