Christmas Makes Me Want to Downsize
I have felt this overzealous need to reduce the amount of stuff in my life for a long time. Maybe forever. I've just never needed a lot of material possessions to be happy. In fact, less for me has always meant more in terms of feeling peaceful and content. But then, I've never been all … Continue reading Christmas Makes Me Want to Downsize
Snippets From Last Week Along With a Better Plan for This One
I don't want to write about last week -- schedules, lists, progress, because I'm not feeling that great about it. But I think it's important for my own accountability, as well as to acknowledge that parts of it actually did go well -- especially considering how busy we were with Halloween festivities. Summary of last … Continue reading Snippets From Last Week Along With a Better Plan for This One
Tomorrow’s Plan
I wrote down my tentative plan and list since I learned last week that if I can't see it, I'll do whatever I feel like in the moment. Lots of gaps, but it's something. At least it's on paper -- and now here. Thank you, readers, for serving as my life coach. I'm sleepy. But … Continue reading Tomorrow’s Plan

Can I Really Do a 5:30 Wake-up?
My previous post touched on the why. Now I'm going to set my schedule and fill in accordingly. Again, working my stuff out on this blog. The biggie here is that I've reached a point where I do not want to get out of bed in the morning. I think it's a bad case of … Continue reading Can I Really Do a 5:30 Wake-up?
Revamping My Schedule
Prepare yourself, friends. Here comes another I gotta get my life together post. I need accountability and since I have none of that in my real life, I'm using this blog. I'm overwhelmed and at that point where I'm just sitting -- staring at the piles and trying to settle my brain and decide what … Continue reading Revamping My Schedule
Tales From the Teen Years: The Waterbed
I rarely do these, but today it felt right. The following is my response to The Daily Prompt, because didn't every girl who grew up in the eighties want a waterbed? “You absolutely can not have a waterbed, and I don’t want to hear another word about it.” I had received my father’s ultimatum, and … Continue reading Tales From the Teen Years: The Waterbed
Toss Five and Put Away Ten
So...in an effort to get more organized as well as prepare to move in the next year, I'm employing this daily strategy. I like that it's catchy, memorable, and seems simple enough even for my disorganized, live-in-the-moment crowd.
