2024 Expectations Vs Realities At the end of 2023, I was all gung ho; this was going to be the year that I completed X, Y and Z. Okay I start most years like that and then, of course, things happen. So why do we end up disappointing ourselves by not meeting our own expectations of ourselves? Are we expecting unrealistic things? I’ve followed productivity coaches for years, always trying different planners and apps to get myself organized and get it done. I end up not following through. Why? because I never finish making my plan… Trying to not let…
Introvert Striving to Thrive Remotely New Month, New Day New Attitude Did you set new years resolutions or intentions at the first of the year? Are you still amped up and rearing to go or have you given up and moved on to something else? I’ve let too many things get in the way of making my dreams a reality. Recently I’ve been prioritizing making time to write and homesteading skills. I dream of making my own income from home. Whether that be through homesteading or writing. I just seem to keep getting in my own way. I think a…
How is your last week of April going? It has been busy around here. I’ve been participating in the A to Z Blog Challenge this month. My focus has been trying to relate my posts to the importance of mental health. I have a freebie called Stress Less. My goal is to get an email challenge or a mini-course set up on ways to use self-care and limit stress. We may think self-care is selfish, but it really is important. When on an airplane, they tell you the importance of putting on your own oxygen mask first if you want…
Who do I have to blame for this 'busyness' that keeps me from writing? No one but myself. Sure I do a lot of taking care of others, the house etc... but reality is its all procrastination. I don't faithfully write because I fear failure. I fear not being as good as the other writers.
Hello Again World! Hello Again! Hello again, In trying to transition my blog from one site to another somewhere along the way all of the work on Seekingserenityandharmony.com disappeared. Over a year and a half of posts. I am going to look at this as an opportunity to start from a fresh slate and be sure the content I am posting appeals to my readers. I will be starting by putting up some surveys and polls in the very near future to find out what your interests are. Welcome to my work in progress … a place I hope you…
June Adventures and Updates Boy this year has sure not gone the way I had hoped when I made my goals and vision plan for 2020. Here is it mid June and the last 3 months have been pretty much spent in hibernation. Well I have been told I snore like a bear but I prefer to hibernate in winter much like the bears do. How are you doing on your 2020 goals and plans in spite of everything that has thrown you curve balls?
April A-Z Blog Challenge Post G 2020
2020 Goals Plans Hopes and Dreams I am working on having a clear vision for 2020
2020 Vision: I had started writing this post before Christmas but in the chaos of holiday preparations it was left unfinished. So many of my projects I had planned to complete this year are still unfinished. I am not going to look at them as failures I see them as works in progress just as I am. Now we look forward to 2020 with a clearer vision of what my priorities should be. One of those of course is home and family. Second is focusing on the advocacy work that I feel God leading me to do. More about that…
