After a month of seeking subtlety, I’ve opened my arms and embraced October with a warm welcome! Fall has arrived, the final quarter of 2010 is here, and I feel ready. My intentions for September included speaking mindfully, drinking tea, practicing yoga and reading a few good books…
September is here and I’m tempted to make big sweeping declarations about mega life-altering goals. As a planner, I tend to derive more pleasure from list-making than actual task-completion. This month, I’m trying something out of my comfort zone. Rather than bite off more than I can chew…
Sunday Overwhelm usually strikes in the mid-afternoon—right around the time when I realize that my alarm is set at 6:00 am the next day, and the hustle and bustle of another week is just around the corner. The magic of creative weekends is replaced with stress. I worry about to-do’s usually ignored and left to the last hour—laundry, grocery shopping and paying bills…
Hello friends, I hope you’re starting off your weeks with sparkle and joy! I want to extend a special thanks to those of you who entered my second 32 Days of Sparkle Giveaway last week. It was nice to “meet” a few of you for the first time, and reading your favorite quotes was a real treat…
