Oh my gosh, you guys! I haven’t written anything in a long time! When summer came, things around here got very busy with camps, county fair, a quick trip to Okoboji, and moving our youngest to college. I had this crazy idea that September would slow down, and while it has in some ways, we had some big things happen…
This post was supposed to go up in March to go along with my March theme of Stay Strong. However, I was feeling uninspired and unmotivated. Those feelings permeated pretty much all aspects of my life. I wasn’t running. I wasn’t doing strength. I wasn’t eating very well. I wasn’t getting things done that needed done for my business. During…
If you would have told me at the beginning of the month that the first three weeks would be as weird as they have been, I would never have believed you. If you had told me that my theme for the year, You Got This, would become a mantra I would repeat at least daily, I would have thought that…
The past year was one of change, growth, and adjustment. I went from going to an office at a hospital 4 days a week to working from home 7 days a week. During that time at home, I also got laundry done, dishes done, meals made, strength training, running, walks with my dog, going to see my daughter at college…
I don’t know about you, but these years keep going by faster and faster! How is it 2023 already?? As I have been preparing for this new year with new goals, I looked back at my yearly and monthly themes from 2022. I chose each monthly theme based on where I was mentally, emotionally, and physically and focused on what…
At the beginning of each month, you will find me at my kitchen breakfast bar with my planner and goals sheets reviewing how things went the last month and revising my goals for the next month. I look back at my quarterly goals to see if I am on track and check in on my yearly goals as well. Sometimes…
You’ve got this! Keep going! I know you can do it! Today is the National Day of Encouragement! While there are all types of encouragement for all different things, today we are going to focus on encouragement to make changes with regard to getting active and making changes to your health habits. When you think about making changes in your…
I resigned from my job on February 28, 2022. I gave three months notice and my last full day there was May 26, 2022. It was hard to leave. Really hard. I cried several times—the day I gave my supervisor my letter of resignation, many times thinking about what I was leaving, the last week, and especially the last day. …
Earlier this week I wrote about the grief I have experienced with the loss of four young people in my and my family’s lives. As you move through something like this, and more importantly, as you support your children through something like this, you have to find something to hang onto. For many people that is creating something in memory…
This was not the post I was supposed to write this week. Oops! Life got in the way of my carefully crafted plans the past couple weeks, as life does, and I find myself behind on my promise to myself to post on my blog each week. So here I am, over a week over-due with now TWO posts I…
