I promised myself I would not start this post with “another month has flown by” or any other commentary on how fast time passes. Suffice it to say that it is time once again to check in with the What’s Been on your Calendar crew and to report on my monthly goal progress and set…
Recently, I heard the Rodgers and Hammerstein song My Favorite Things, and it got me thinking about those things that lift my spirits…small joys that remind me there is good in the world, even when everything seems to be going to hell in a hand basket. I like to refer to these as Jolts of…
Let me start with a warm welcome to anyone who is new to this blog. I hope you will introduce yourself in the comments. Many of us have been spending time together regularly for several years now, reading each other’s blogs and discussing points of interest in each of our lives. If you are a…
At the risk of sounding old…I remember when the choices of milk were skim, 2%, or whole…all from a cow. At some point, those choices expanded to include soy and almond. Now you can add to that list oat, coconut, macadamia, cashew, and more. For an indecisive person like myself, that makes ordering a latte…
I had every intention of publishing a blog post last week. I even started writing one, but then life got busy and time got away from me. Now I realize that not only has the week passed, but very nearly another month…which means we are approaching the midway point of 2024. How is that even…
It’s funny how one thing leads to another. You start out working on one project and end up tackling another goal entirely. As you may recall, I recently set a Learning & Growth goal to take the mindbodygreen coaching course. In preparation for the course, I was sent a recommended reading list. I chose to…
The downside to having family stay with us is that I always feel a little lonely when they leave. It’s not particularly logical, considering I have my wonderful husband and my delightful dog here with me. Yet, it’s true and I can’t deny the feeling. I’ve come to expect it and to trust that I…
Here we are, approaching the end of one month and the beginning of another…the end of one season and the beginning of another. What better time to check in with our intentions, desires, or goals? As a reminder, instead of New Year’s Resolutions or a Word of the Year, this year I am setting monthly…
I recently completed a monthly check of my blog’s analytics. I’m always curious to see which posts engage you, my readers. I typically look at three measurements: top five posts visited in the past 12 months, the most clicked on posts in Google Search in the past 30 days, and most commented on posts since…
We finally did it…took the long-awaited trip to the Grand Canyon! As you may recall, we chose to visit the west rim, which is not part of the Grand Canyon National Park, but sits within the Hualapai (pronounced Wal-lah-pie) Reservation. The Grand Canyon West experience was worth the trip all on its own, but we…
