    What Is Self Care Anyway?

    February 8, 2020 /

    What is self care anyway? I am sitting here writing about self-care at nearly 11:00 pm at night, which I think, is the definition of non-care. The problem is when else can I write? I work long hours.I have a husband and a part-time grandchild.I have the myriad of things that are required for life – house, budget, critters, other obligations. Where in that is time for me? Have you seen the commercial that starts out “I have 23 minutes to myself this week”? The commercial then goes on to tell you to use those minutes to eat some not very good for you food. Is this what life has…

I wanted to write and work on my creative life. I intended to declutter and feel as if my house were under control. And, I wanted to have a nice garden where…

    Is It Possible…Part 2

    March 8, 2019 /

    Part 2 – Is it possible… Here is part 1. So the day I wrote the previous post, I was able to complete all four areas in my life. And it felt good. But guess what. I haven’t been able to maintain that. And that answered my question of is it possible. Or did it? I still have all of my goals. Of writing every day, of reading through my reading list this year, of meditating or being active, all of these goals are still in place. So I had to come up with a new strategy. I began by paying attention to how I was spending my time. No,…
