Come On, Get Happy

Happiness is not a station you arrive at, but a manner of traveling. Margaret Lee Runbeck I’ve been hearing a lot of people saying that they’re just not happy. Often I hear, “When (x) this happens, I’ll be happy,” which leaves me wondering what’s going on until (x) happens. Are you not happy? Can youContinue reading “Come On, Get Happy”

Theme Ideas For 2022

I don’t make resolutions. I do make routines, but I also like a theme for every year. Last year was renewal and connections (ok two words!), but this year I’m at a bit of an impasse as to what I want for 2022. Are you feeling the same way? It feels as if it’s beenContinue reading “Theme Ideas For 2022”

What Brings You Joy?

I awoke this morning with joy in my heart, to a world sugar-kissed with a snow-scaped yard that just brought me such delight! I adore snow (and even shoveling) as there’s nothing like it! It’s as if the whole world is blanketed in puffy white cotton and with the beautiful blue skies above, the sunContinue reading “What Brings You Joy?”

Making Routines Stick

Buster, our twelve week old Golden Retriever puppy, wanted to get in on the action today to help me, so I thought I’d make him the photo! If you’ve ever trained a new puppy, you know that it is not for the faint-hearted. It takes stamina, discipline and a new routine (hence the subject)! SoContinue reading “Making Routines Stick”

Setting Up 2022 For Success

Get your ducks in order (as my Mom always said) when it came to getting things done. As we begin this 2022 year, and being that today is Sunday, let’s do that! Grab your journal or just a piece of paper and let’s focus for a bit. Take the following questions and answer them withoutContinue reading “Setting Up 2022 For Success”

Welcome 2022

Good morning! Welcome 2022! I hope that my post finds you quietly enjoying the morning of the new year with love in your heart. There are many ways to celebrate the arrival of a new year. Do you have any special rituals that you do to invite the new year into your life with anContinue reading “Welcome 2022”

Releasing 2021

I allow all of the 2021 lessons taught me to be integrated within and then released into the past. I choose to be present in this day as we transition into a new year. I hold dearly and cherish the good memories made in 2021. I release the bad ones after having learned the necessaryContinue reading “Releasing 2021”

A Christmas Puppy

Well, we did it. We got a Christmas Golden Retriever puppy. We had been thinking of adding to our family for awhile, but I always believed that when the right pup came along, we’d know…and we did. His name is Buster. I don’t even know how he got the name, but I think it fits.Continue reading “A Christmas Puppy”

Have A Holly, Jolly Christmas

Did the title make you begin singing? I couldn’t help myself because I like that song! In fact, I really like Christmas songs, the old ones mind you, not the newfangled versions. I’m more of a traditionalist that way. I don’t want to hear Mariah belting out her version. It’s nothing against her as aContinue reading “Have A Holly, Jolly Christmas”
