A cold announces itself in the form of a small tickle in the back of my throat. There are times when I can tackle it with a little extra vitamin C or a hot bath with Epsom salt and sea salt. This time it hid behind other things going on in my life and I…
The recession creates more problems than financial ones. It seems that the current down turn in the economy has given rise to PLOM disease. I’d like to thank my friends over at Ziglar Pure and Simple for making me aware of the spread of PLOM disease and giving me some ideas of how to combat…
The economy has been tough on most everyone and many freelance writers have been hit as well. It can be particularly hard to make ends meet when you aren’t real sure where the ends are. Freelance writers depend on that next gig to get their budgets moving in the right direction. The question for most…
This challenge was set up to be about consistency and not about results, but I am already beginning to see results and I’m not even half way through the challenge. So many times in the past I have aimed for a goal but failed in the consistent steps to reach that goal. I have to…
This challenge has helped me to refocus in ways I never imagined. It’s not that I’m all of a sudden doing more than ever before. Doing little things all the time is what is making the difference. Even when people try to get me upset (cause you KNOW people do that) I have my 14…

The days are ticking along. I think I’m finally falling into a groove which is helping me remember to get things done before I lay down in bed. There is nothing that disturbs my ability to sleep like remembering that one last thing I forgot to check off my list. I’m one of those that…
The best lessons that I have learned have come from children and I learn more each and every day. It seems that they spout wise words, give great examples or else cause me to say something to them that teaches me about my own. Learning sneaks up on me some days and reminds me that…
Things got a bit crazy yesterday and I completely forgot to post about the challenge. It probably had nothing to do with the fact that I let both of my older boys have spend the night company. There’s no reason that a herd of boys running in and out of the house would throw off…
