I joined a business coaching group led by Teri Scheinzeit and we started meeting last week. While I've done some of the reflection before, it was a nice opportunity to see where I am in my business - what I love doing and what I don't. Coaching the Counselor!

Gosh, I love Spring! Flowers, sunshine and an amazing sense of possibility. And here in New York, we were OVERDUE. I sensed the unhappiness from my fellow New Yorkers. Now hopefully there will be at least more mindfulness and compassion as we all rush around together.

The past few days have been full of back to back appointments and commitments. So there's no time to spare and I have to be efficient with my time. I "just" enough time to write and post Weekly Lists. No time to mull over them as I sometimes do especially since I had to start again because I accidentally closed the Edit Post window in WordPress before saving the draft! Hello resilience!

I've been super tired lately, but thankfully there is resilience in body and mind. I think I've been getting plenty of sleep, but maybe it's not enough.

I am not really sure where today went. In fact, I say this most days. Truth is time flies. Perhaps I need to have a list of tasks I did in a given day to remind me. But I guess that's what a crossed out to-do list is for. And while I have gotten things done, I don't know how helpful that list is.

I started the Artist's Way at the beginning of December and I'm currently on Week 10. Yes, I "should" already be done. Don't judge. This week is all about recognizing and eliminating toxic patterns. When I saw the section entitled, "Workaholism" I got nervous.

About a week and a half ago I thought to myself that I managed to get through an entire winter without getting sick. I attributed it to using my neti pot daily, washing my hands regularly, eating well and practicing yoga. Then last Sunday I got a stomach bug and I started sneezing on Tuesday.

I created a to-do list in one of my many notebooks last Wednesday. It's now almost a week later and I was able to check off only 14 of the 23 items on the list. Yay me for getting things done, but how come I just cannot get EVERYTHING done? This is a new habit and it was a crazy busy week. Some of the items are also more complex or take time. However are these just excuses? Perhaps.

I went into writing my Weekly Lists full of positivity and excitement, but as I sit here typing I'm overcome with a bad case of the "I Don't Wannas." I had to push through them yesterday to practice yoga and apparently here I am again.

Okay, it's finally gotten to the point where my DESIRES have outshined my Gratitudes. So no Gratituesday. Here's Desire Wednesday and the start of taking baby steps!

I started the day thinking it was National Pancake Day! So, I planned to take myself out to breakfast, only to discover that the day is not celebrated until March! But I failed to realize that it was Mardi Gras. Laissez les Bons Temps Rouler, y'all! Let the good times roll!

I'm not really sure where the last week went! I have not been sleeping very well so in my tiredness it's been harder to reflect and ponder on my lists. I'm just too tired!

For those that read these Weekly Lists on the regular, it should come as no surprise that keeping my kitchen clean is a challenge. After the amazing mess made by the burst pipe and clog, the universe made it clear that I had to start cleaning my kitchen. Luckily the caulking of the backsplash eliminated the bugs. However, I now have a little furry friend who's made my kitchen his new home.

Last month, I did a bit of research on creating rituals. As someone who tends to procrastinate, I thought it would be a good idea to have a daily habit to jump start the day. I had a brief stint doing the Ayurvedic morning routine, but it was a little too much for me.

The weather this week around the country has been brutal. Super cold, snowy and windy. Luckily I primarily work from home so I was able to stay warm inside without too much trouble. My cat, Maxie is happy to use me as his personal heater and to be honest, it's nice to have him purring on my lap as I binge-watch 'The Crown' and 'The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.'
