A Little Grey Hair

What do you see when you look in the mirror? 

Looking in the mirror today I noticed something I hadn’t seen before. More grey hair that I would like to admit. The grey doesn’t bother me, I am thankful to have hair as there are many who do not. It did get me thinking though...where has the time gone? It seems not so long ago that my children were young and I had all the time in the world. Now, it seems the days past way too quickly and we are all trying to play catch up. If I feel that way, there has to be others that feel that way too.  I would love to hear your thoughts and what you are doing to catch up.

If money were not an issue, what would you do with your life?

Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you. ~Carl Sandburg

Do You Have a Plan?

Are you a planner or do you just let life happen?

If you ask me that question before 2013 I would say I just let life happen. I have always been a live and let live kind of girl, what can I say :-).

As I write this, I have a great sense of accomplishment. It’s as if all of the good intentions and creative ideas have all fallen into place. I realize that one of the keys to success is organization, and all its takes is a little planning. Once your plan is in place, the execution should be the easy part! Don’t get me wrong, it seems I’ve always had a plan, just not the space to spread my wings. Today, I am ready to soar. 

Some of the things that I have done to become organized (in no particular order).

• Love the space you work in (make it feel like a place to escape to instead of from)
• Put things back where they belong when your done using them
• Use a daily/weekly/monthly at a glance calendar
• Have a comfortable chair/couch or someplace in addition to your desk to work from
• Take breaks often (unplug completely for a time throughout the day)
• Schedule reminders for appointments
• Have fun
• Make the commitment to success

It’s really that simple. 

I would love to hear some of the ideas you use to be successful in life!

Turtle Speed

Have you ever felt like a Turtle was your power animal?

I love the thought of a power animal!

I have had turtles given to me from as far back as I can remember. I've always been fascinated with their compact ability! Really, I didn't know why I collected them, I just did. I still have the giant one I received as a child, to the tiny one in the window and all the sizes in between. They just make me feel good, connected to the earth.

Think about what animal keeps showing up in your life. Does thinking about the animal give you a genuine warm feeling?  See if something resonates with you... I know I have found one of mine.


Behold the turtle. He makes progress only when he sticks his neck out.
~ James Bryant Conant (1893 - 1978)

The Journey

When you think of traveling, what comes to mind?

Destination
Weather
Companions
Safety
Preparation

All of these things and more come to mind.

There are lots of life lessons we learn along the way, but really what matters most, in my opinion is the journey you're on. One of the greatest lessons I have learned, is to share my journey with others. There is nothing more rewarding than traveling through life with people that you care about.

If you enjoy going places, stick with me. This is going to be one amazing ride!
