multi-tasking.
Last year, in order to accomplish everything on my to do list, I was multi-tasking. Every conference call or online class would have me also doing something else – filing, organizing, cleaning. I’d try to catch up on email while cooking. I don’t know if could have gotten everything done if it weren’t for multi-tasking.
happiness project: EMPOWER and ENERGY (2015)
Here we are closing up the year 2014. And as people do, I’m thinking about what has gone by and how to plan for the new year ahead. 2014 was my year to SIMPLIFY and PREPARE. Happily, I’ve managed to complete most of the major projects on that list. Old projects have been completed and
not judging.
Is it social media? Is it me feeling like I’m not all I should be? I don’t quite know, but over the past year, I’ve found myself being a bit judgmental. I keep it to myself, but I don’t like it. Not one bit. I remind myself that I don’t know these people or I
protecting my time.
I’m notorious for quickly finding a new project whenever I seem to find a spare minute. I’ll decided to start a new blog, volunteer for some organization, learn something new. And then I have too.much.to.do. Yet again. What a terrible cycle. As I worked to free myself from all of my (mostly) self-created obligations over

The other day, I realized I needed something from the grocery store that our Baby Kroger doesn’t stock. Which meant I would have to get in the car and go to a further off store to get it. But why not walk? My mind screamed “YOU DON’T HAVE TIME!” What? Instead of a 30 minute
christmas planning.
Someone asked me the other day if the Christmas panic had reached me yet. For the first time in a decade or longer, the answer was “No. I’m on top of it.” And I plan to keep it that way. What has made this holiday season the least stressful one that I’ve had in recent

A million ideas swirling in my head. I feel there are at least a dozen blog posts wanting to be written. By writing out what’s been on my mind, maybe I can sort out all the thoughts whirling and then let my mind rest. Much of what I’ve been thinking about is the utter success

local isn’t all that great
For me, at least. Yes, I love connecting with my neighbors. Volunteering locally. Being a pedestrian. Buying locally. But I get lost when I am local. Backwards right? I don’t get lost in a physical sense; I’ve lived in the county for 16 years. I generally have a good sense of where I’m headed —

If you’ve been following along with my Happiness Project, which I restarted again almost a year ago, the main focus for this year (though it wasn’t at first) is to SIMPLIFY and PREPARE. As I’ve discussed before, I have had a decade or more of feeling as though “I don’t have time for this!” whatever
have time for this
A month ago, I wrote about the feeling of “I don’t have time for this.” that I’ve been suffering from for years. And how over the past year I have been working very hard to get to the point where the frequency with which I utter that awful phrase is diminishing. Today I once again

what’s this morning feeling?
For the first time in what seems like years, I woke this morning without an overwhelming feeling of exhaustion. Even though I could have slept for another hour, I “jumped” out of bed and started my day. As I had such an early start, I had a few moments to contemplate this burst of energy.
don’t have time for this
How many times have I said this over the past 10 years? I cannot even count the times… Over the past couple of years, I’ve been working hard to finish up projects, transfer projects, move on. Just to give myself a little bit of breathing room. Find the things that truly are worth my time.

happiness project: SIMPLIFY and PREPARE
I spent the first half of the year declaring that this was my year to THRIVE. And much as I had hoped to pursue that, what I’ve found is that this has been my year to SIMPLIFY and PREPARE. In order to make room in my life for the things I want to explore and
