Stop and reflect now

I had a post planned for today. I even had it completed in draft.  But things changed and I felt moved to write this. It is Sunday afternoon and I'm sitting on the balcony.  First time this season.  Just brought the table and chairs up from storage. The sun feels good and I know my …

Saturday at noon

  I'm looking at the calendar and well, I'm a bit in denial.  By the end of the week I will be flipping the calendar to a new month.  I have no idea where the first five months of the year went. Yeah, I know I did a few projects, read a few books and …

52 List Project

A friend saw this book and immediately thought of me. I am a list person so this is right up my alley.  She also bought one for herself so we could do it together this year. Of course, as soon as I received it I was all over it. 52 weeks!! That is so not …

Will knowing my non-negotiables help me become a better blogger? Writer? Individual?  Will knowing my non-negotiables bring more clarity to …

Creative introvert vs extrovert. Shake it up!

I recently listened to a podcast and they were discussing creatives (us!!).  How different individuals create and I don't mean painting or writing I mean the creative process. Yes, we all realize that writing, painting and many creative endeavors are done in solitude.  To create takes discipline and often you sit with nothing on a …

You Can Always Start Now has taken a leap of faith

Since I write about exploring possibilities, being open to new ideas and trying new things I decided to try self-hosting.  So I am now over at You Can Always Start Now.  The new year started and I thought - what regrets do I not want to carry forward with me this year.  Trying self-hosting was one …

How I spent November
