My dog Avalanche wakes me up bright and early each morning even on the darkest days. He looks at me with expectant eyes. And every morning, I sigh. “Okay,” I say. “I’m coming.” We have a routine. We go for a walk. If he thinks it’s anywhere remotely close to dawn, Avy will remind me … Continue reading The Zen of Dog Walking

Decision Fatigue Pt. 4: Differed or Postponed Decisions
This is probably the primary cause of Decision Fatigue, so I saved it for last. Differed decision making is basically just procrastination.

Those Pesky New Year’s Resolutions
Did you do any resolutions for the New Year? How is that going? When I started doing my “reset” last fall, I decided at the time that that was a big enough project for me. Resolutions would be too much to add. I really don’t like resolutions much anyway, even though the beginning of the … Continue reading Those Pesky New Year’s Resolutions
A Life Reset
I know it’s been a while since I posted. Truth is, I haven’t been able to get motivated to write much of anything until just recently. As I look back, I can understand why. 2019 had such major health issues for me. When I started 2020, I was really looking forward to getting back to … Continue reading A Life Reset
Thriving: Listen to Your Heart

I had a metal decorative gazebo in the back yard where I thought I could set things up. Under the … Continue reading Thriving: Listen to Your Heart
Thriving: The First Step

Thriving: Be Like The Weed
It’s funny, as soon as I mentioned that I wanted to do a multi-part series on thriving, I ran into a bit of a downer month. It was like the world was telling me "Hey lady, you don’t know as much as you think you do.” I ran into some big issues with a new … Continue reading Thriving: Be Like The Weed
