Dear Friends, If you haven’t figured it out yet, I want immediate results. I’m the worst at being consistent over a long period of time and waiting for change. Just this week I was talking with a friend who is a super athlete. I was whining that after working out for a week and following…
Dear Friends, I really didn’t expect a book to smack in the face the same way “7” did – but then I remembered that I’ve had Brene Brown’s book for MONTHS now and have been avoiding it. Why? Because she talks about vulnerability and growth and living a wholehearted life and to read that books…
Dear Friends, It’s day 9 of month 1. I had the best visit with my grandparents. We ate out 3 times – all healthy, real food choices. So, while it was cheating it was a clean kind of cheat and I’m so thankful for them making that possible. So far I’m loving a cash budget…
Dear Friends, It’s month one of a brand new year. I love fresh starts. It’s such a natural time to make changes – sometimes you just have to remember that each day is a fresh start and get up and go! One of my lifers – Ashlee – got me a passion planner for Christmas.…
Dear Friends, As 2015 wraps up, I wanted to share with you some of my top moments and lessons from the past year. It’s been one of great celebration, growth and struggle. Earlier today I clicked to see what my top 9 posts were on instagram this year and then laughed at how my interpretation…
Dear Friends, I did it! I committed to a process and a plan and I did it! My house is down 217 items! Actually, it’s down even more because when I threw away the giant pile of socks that had no mate I only used 1 line. Were there are few things that may…
Dear Friends, I’m 18 days into my month of purging. It’s been 7 items a day (or in some cases like 40 items a day because I get a little behind). I’ve given away trash bags full of treasures, started a garage sale shelf in the garage (is that cheating because it’s not actually removed…
Dear Friends, It’s been quiet around here. Mostly because I was supposed to be experiencing a month of 7 – decreasing waste in my life and really focusing on the foods that fuel me. In sum…. That was supposed to be Oct. It’s now December and you can rest assured that my silence the…
Dear Friends, We made it through month 1! Granted, yesterday I went ahead and bought my new phone charger because I was already at the store, and quite honestly I didn’t want to go to the store today in fear that with one fresh breathe of freedom I would spend too much money. I pulled…
Dear Friends, Yesterday I “failed”. I spent money, on myself. I don’t mind spending money on friends or “cheating” by using a gift card but yesterday I blatantly pulled out my cash that has been sitting pretty for 23 days and willingly handed it over the counter. For things I did not need. Well I…
