If you are like me, you have been seeing constant ads for the holidays. They show all kinds of bright and shiny things, new versions of things we already own, and of course some things we just know will make our lives complete. Now, we all expect this barrage every year and we know that we cannot entertain all the ideas dancing in our imaginations....

It's a fact that the days are getting shorter as we inch closer to winter. For some people, this presents a new challenge - how to maintain a positive frame of mind when there is much less daylight in our days. Depending on where you live, you may be only seeing 5 to 6 hours of daylight. There are ways to help fight the winter blues, or Seasonal Affective Depression....

Maybe this sounds like you...saving that lovely perfume for special occasions, not using the nice towels because you are saving them for company, not wearing your nice clothes if you're staying at home. I've been guilty of all of these and the past years during the pandemic just added to it. I got very comfortable wearing sweats, only dressing my upper half since all my work was through Zoom, and why bother with make-up, since I'd be wearing glasses anyway....

It is a common refrain ...."but I just don't feel motivated anymore". Have you heard yourself say these words? We all have been there but I have a secret to share...motivation is not the answer. While we often give up on a plan to exercise more, eat a healthier diet, or clean the house, we start because of excitement about the expected results....

In our last meeting, I proposed the idea of saying to some things that sap your energy and/or don't really add to your life. I hope you have been able to put some things aside for what's really important to you and for you. Today I want to suggest five things for you to say "YES" to because they will add life and joy to your daily routine....

Yesterday was a very frustrating day for me. It seemed that everything I tried to do or wanted to work on just went wrong. I won't bore you with the details but I am sure you have experienced a similar kind of day. I tried to salvage what I could, made myself a simple dinner, started reading my book club selection, and went to bed early....

Happy Sunday! I hope that you have had a chance to enjoy the beautiful weather wherever you are. Here in Ohio we have temps in the 70s, quite different for November. Continuing our focus on gratitude, here is the rest of my list going through the alphabet. N - new fragrance to try, O- options, P - personal parking space, Q - quiet evenings, R - running through the park, …...

Have you been looking for things to include in your gratitude list? I have been keeping up so far, just writing five to seven things down daily. Sometimes I do it in the morning after my Bible reading time, sometimes I do it at the end of the day. A mentor posed this challenge a few weeks ago...write down something you are grateful for using every letter of the alphabet!...

Do you get excited by the cooler temps and crunchy leaves? Are you fighting an urge to jump in a colorful pile or kick up a storm of swirling leaves? It's okay, really. I would even suggest you find a spot where you can do just what feels like fun to ... after all, you've been busy adulting for days, right?...

Since we are in the month of November, it makes sense to give some attention to the theme of Thanksgiving. When we really consider the act of Thanksgiving, I wonder how it was relegated to one day of the year. I am glad that as families and friends gather together, we are all reminded of the good things in our lives, but I have trying to make the practice of thankfulness/gratitude a daily practice....

Have you ever tried a new thing and totally failed? I have many times, and most recently it was in trying to make a sourdough starter. My 9 year old granddaughter has become interested in bread making so I had the grand idea to whip up a starter so we could bake together over the next weekend. Well, it didn't work....
