Tweet I just got home from a four-day camping trip. It was 100% unplugged—no radio, TV, movies, computers, cell phones. It. Was. Fabulous. My husband and I have a pop up tent trailer and enjoy taking it up to the Rim Country with our two dogs. Usually, we go for a three-day weekend but we [...]

Tweet My mind is buzzing with possibilities and opportunities, I think it might explode! I am crazy-excited for the potential of the coming months, for my potential. I’m just bursting. I really truly feel down into the core of my soul that I’m just getting started. To quote one of my hero’s, Tara Gentile, “Don’t [...]

Tweet I have joined the Joy Juice program. It’s a year of journaling prompts from Molly Mahar of Stratejoy. I’m about six weeks into and I love it. I’ve never been much of a journaler. I’ve always had the intention to do it, and have bought many pretty journals to begin, but I’ve never really [...]

Tweet I can’t believe I didn’t share this with you all last week! Don’t you just love the colors happening here? My mood-board-a-month for June is all about texture. I’ve been spending time with fabrics so I have very tactile things on my mind and on my inspiration board right now. Texture is one of [...]

Tweet I have hit a milestone. Today marks five weeks that I am at “inbox zero.” I cannot tell you the degree to which I underestimated the energy drain of an overflowing inbox. I had hundreds of messages in there. I also underestimated the value an organized email system has on my productivity. I use [...]

Tweet Whew! This month nearly got away from me. Can you believe it’s May 30? I nearly missed my mood board posting because this month (nay, this YEAR) has gone by so quickly. So this month is a special edition of the mood-board-a-month. Why? This is no ordinary mood board. This is my Big Vision [...]

Tweet Sometimes I get overwhelmed by the potential of ideas. And most of the time, those ideas remain inside my head, never to see the light of day. I’m learning The Action Method to plan and take action so my ideas become real. This should begin to make it easier for me to see what [...]

Tweet Can you believe April is nearly over? Where has it gone? It’s interesting to compare this month’s mood board with last month’s. This one is simpler, the colors aren’t quite as bright (relatively speaking), and the imagery seems to reflect calmness. I think I’ve felt calmer the past month or so and it’s really [...]
