Monday Mayhem – Pacing myself
I finally feel like I’m reaching the top of this burnout hole I’ve been in. I’ve been reading a lot – fiction and non-fiction – and watching a good chunk of PBS and Netflix programming. And college football, though my teams are not doing much to excite the fan-base. I’ve also been making notes. The …

Monday Mayhem – Germination
In my last post, I talked about my burnout. In this one, I’d update you on my recovery, and what I have discovered. I may have mentioned it in my previous post, but I had a bit of an, “Ah-ha!” moment while watching Becca Syme’s QuitCast videos. Becca is a Gallup certified strengths coach, but …

Monday Mayhem – If you need me, I’ll be in my blanket fort
I won’t lie, it’s been a rough year (or two…okay, three) for me. I’ve been struggling with my writing for a while, and this year, I finally hit the wall. I’ve spent some time sulking and whining, and even more pretending everything is okay, this was just a phase, and I would get through it …

Vacation – all I ever wanted
I’m just back from vacation and it was a blast! I long weekend with my girls was just what I needed to relax and unwind a bit. There was karaoke and cheesecake, pool time and TimTams, shopping and bundt cake. Sensing a theme here? Mmmmm dessert. We are ten years in. There are old jokes …

Monday Mayhem – Vacation…all I ever wanted
We got away this weekend! My company took a long holiday weekend, so Fodder and I ran away to the river. We found an adorable AirBNB on the edge of the Buffalo National Forest just big enough for Fodder, me, and our master, Sally. We’d never taken Sally with us on a trip, so it …

Monday Mayhem – On Marriage
Later this week, the mister and I will celebrate our 18th wedding anniversary. Our marriage has finally reached the age of majority. As I am now the proud owner of a mature (giggle-snort) marriage, I thought I’d share a few random lessons I’ve learned along the way. Liking is every bit as important as loving. …

Monday Mayhem – I Kanban Do It!
A couple weeks ago, I re-purposed my bulletin board into a Kanban organizer. What was once nothing more than a collection of random reminders and goofy pictures is now a model of goal-setting organization…and goofy pictures. What is Kanban? It’s a method of visual project management. It allows the user to track goals, progress, and …

Monday Mayhem – Give it away, give it away, give it away now!
Are you on my mailing list? If so, you know I’ve done nothing but give it away this past week. I celebrated Julie Evelyn Joyce’s book, STEEPED IN LOVE, being named to the short list of finalists for the Kobo Emerging Authors prize by giving away a few copies of Steeped. Then, I celebrated those …
