There’s that phrase that says that God will not give you more than you can handle. I think on it when I have lots on my plate or I am going through a series of challenges. Maybe I’m not invincible, but it usually motivates me to keep on going. However, curiosity got the better of me, and I did a little bit of research on the phrase.

Being sick sucks. I started feeling the ick last Thursday and it’s gone from a scratchy throat to congestion to a cough. And of course, I rested a bit and then I did what I usually do - I push through it. My body just couldn’t take my long day yesterday - and my voice started going, going, and it’s GONE today.

I’ve had a bit of time lately to consider where I am in my business. I met with a mentor from SCORE to talk about marketing and business planning. He really said a whole bunch of stuff I already knew - including the suggestion of being consistent.

I am currently reading ‘Atlas of the Heart’ by Brené Brown. And if you are one of my current counseling couples, you certainly know that because I mention it in our sessions! Today I listened to the chapter on ‘Places We Go When Life is Good.’ Since it’s Gratituesday, I thought I’d share the power of GRATITUDE.

The holiday of Yom Kippur or the Day of Atonement - starts tonight and it’s considered the most important holiday in the Jewish faith. I’m a more cultural, rather than practicing Jew. I don’t go to synagogue. however for Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur I do abstain from working and fast as I aim for some “good Jew” points.

I continue to do a lot of reading, and thankfully I have space in my life to reflect and dream. This makes a ripe environment to figure out what I want, but also take stock of all of the good things. Welcome back to my weekly lists. The comment section is always open to question, encourage and share your own lists. Off we go!

For the past 2 weeks, I’ve created miracle mornings to start my day. In my book club we are reading Hal Elrod’s Miracle Morning. The basic gist of the book is that in order to make changes in your life, you need to work on personal development. Elrod began a daily practice of Silence, Affirmation, Visualization, Exercise, Reading and Scribing.

WhenI speak to my dad and asked how he is, he replies, “Nothing to complain about.” At first I found it a little odd, since it was new, but then I grew to love the intentionality of it all. We are a society of complainers. While I try to be positive and Zen, I can switch to ‘complaining’ as a default.

I am a very curious person, and in my youth I needed to know EVERYTHING. As I’ve matured, I’ve realized that no, I really don’t. So now it’s a balance…deciding when it’s important to have and share information, and when it’s not.

There have been so many advancements made over the last few years. But with the impending overturn of Roe v. Wade, it feels like we’re going backwards. I’ve seen a lot of rage and disappointment today. It’s important to counter that with a bit of good. Care to join me in my weekly lists?

I am not really sure where the day has gone. I felt behind most of the day, and had the feeling of playing catch up. It was important for me to reflect and create my weekly lists. A bit of gratitude, celebration and desires for the future. Care to join me? The comment section is always open to question, encourage or share your OWN list. Let’s go!

I have an extremely busy week this week. I could have easily avoided my weekly lists, however usually when things get crazy, it’s helpful to remember the good. Care to join me? Awesome! I’m happy to go first. The comment section below is always open to share. Off we go!

When I saw TWO 2 heavy dates in Februay, I thought the inquiries for wedding would just flow in. For the most part things were quiet. Until 2 weeks ago when one of my 2020 couples resurfaced. The 2020 bride was into numerology and wanted to see if I was available on 2/22/22. Sure am, I said!

My weekly lists used to be gratitudes, celebrations and desires. Then for some reason, I changed the celebrations to VICTORIES. For the life of me I didn’t remember why I did it, but today I bring it back. This of course brings lots of reflection, and then my Weekly Lists basically write themselves. Care to join me?

The Lunar New Year is seen as a time of reunion and rebirth. So, it’s another chance to bring luck, vitality and happiness into the coming year. And that of course, means a little reflection and my weekly lists. Want to join me? The comment section is always open to share. Let’s go!

Winter is hard for many people. At least for me, I lack inspiration. In yesterday’s book club meeting on Zoom, we were asked to change our displayed names and include our inspiration level from 1 to 10. I rated myself a 7. I am getting things done, but I am not hugely inspired.

It feels like everyone has covid right now. Okay, not everyone, but if I was a betting woman, I’d put money on the fact that everyone I know knows at least 1 person with covid right now. I personally know 3. That means that people are quarantining and/or in isolation. And isolation is so damaging as we as a society crave socialization.

I think many of us have been in this weird limbo for a while now. Staying to ourselves and not deepening relationships. I avoid stepping out of my little bubble and maybe I use the ‘covid excuse’ a little too much. So, 2022 will be the year of Deepening Connection. Perhaps meeting new people, and of course, reconnecting with folks I already know - EVERY DAY.
