Taking the lazy way out today!

I receive daily quotes via email and thought this one was worth sharing today.


Here's the Quotation for Wednesday, January 21, 2009


If you would not be forgotten, as soon as you are dead and rotten, either write things worth reading, or do things worth the writing.

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790, American Scientist, Publisher, Diplomat )

Happy New Year

My Feng Shui training has made me much more aware of the changing of the seasons. The Chinese Year of the Ox will begin on February 4th and that means we will be in an Earth year.

What does that mean exactly?

Well, this will be a good year to slow down and take stock. Think things through, spend time on yourself and in nature. Get outside, plant a garden, walk more, enjoy the sunrise and sunset as often as possible. Pay attention to how you feel and what makes you happy. I mean really happy on the inside not just happy for the moment.

Today's email quote

I received this via email and wanted to pass it on to you.

~~~~~~~~
We are each of us angels with only one wing, and we can only fly by embracing one another.

Luciano de Crescenzo

Live, Laugh, Love

Till next time !

How are those resolutions going?

I have to admit that I really don't agree with the whole resolution idea. I do believe that setting goals is very important but not to the point where you stress over each and every one. Write things down and be realistic. Take baby steps to get started and see how it goes. Starting out slowly and achieving your goals will make it easier to strive for more.

Good Luck

Happy New Year

Can you believe that it is New Years Eve? Another year behind us.

I sincerely hope that you will enjoy whatever you have planned for tonight!

Stay safe and Happy New Year!

Learning to take my own advice

One of the suggestions in my last post was to cook your meals ahead of time. Well I did just that this weekend. It makes it so much easier to put a meal together. I made chicken and rice, meatballs, bbq ribs, chili, baked apples and blueberry muffins. We ate a little and I froze the rest for later. This is such a time saver as it's just as easy to make one batch as it is to make three or four at the same time.

All for now.

Holiday Stress Overload

With the Holiday Season in full swing I thought this would be a good time to offer some stress reduction ideas. Remember, this is a time for family and friends to be together and it should be enjoyable. If it becomes overwhelming, then you need to take a good long look at your situation and start making necessary changes.

Learn to say NO. You do not have to accept every invitation or make an appearance at each and every event. Pick and choose.

Simplify your meals. Cook ahead so you only have to re-heat.

Ask for help. I repeat, ASK for HELP!

Till next time.
