Noise isn’t just the neighbor’s leaf blower or the endless drone of traffic. It’s the uninvited party in your brain: the ping of another “urgent” email, the to-do list that rewrites itself again and again while you’re trying to sleep, the mental sticky notes plastered all over your day. Noise is the constant background hum… Continue reading Lose the Noise in Life

Go Ahead, Make Your Mistakes
Not too recently I was asked what was a current concern in my life. I admitted, “I just don’t want to make any major mistakes.” Have you ever felt that way? Do you ever have this thought? When facing big decisions, new situations, and constant changes? You just don’t want to screw anything up? Maybe because you don’t have all the information,… Continue reading Go Ahead, Make Your Mistakes
Attention, Please!
Lately, I’ve found myself skipping over the idea of watching an entire movie. Too long, I’d think. I don’t want to commit. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I assumed I’d get restless and never finish—or feel guilty for not using that time to get more done. So instead, I’d settle for a show. Not even… Continue reading Attention, Please!
“Help Is On the Way”
I love this phrase. It brings me comfort when I hear it… I’ve been told to write more about personal experiences. I tend to disagree with this. But, the truth is, most of my articles are based on my personal situations, things loved ones are facing, and what’s going on around me.

Getting Focus BACK!
I lost my ability to focus. My mind was overflowing. Too many thoughts swirling in my head. Going in too many directions. Too many things changing in the work and the routine. I was losing sleep. I wanted to do it all, but was getting nothing done. Collapsing upon myself in a state of failure.… Continue reading Getting Focus BACK!
A Place for Everything…
Is your dining room table covered with stuff you haven’t put away yet? A catch-all for things that don’t have their own place? How about the crap in your car’s center console? Or the random trinkets atop your dresser? Or the one-off documents and empty folders in your Google Drive? Or the mess that is… Continue reading A Place for Everything…
Procrastinate NO MORE!(or a lot less)
I was avoiding my work space…it was cluttered and disorganized (which is really not me). I was walking by it…doing the bare minimum, waiting for my focus to came back. Little by little, my dissatisfaction built and built, until…BAM! I couldn’t take it anymore! Enough was enough! My focus was back! And back with a… Continue reading Procrastinate NO MORE!(or a lot less)
Winter Wellness, Winter Bliss
Years ago, I admitted I was not fond of the seasons changing to fall and winter. I’m fairly certain this is a common feeling. So what was I to do about it? To offset the thought, I started taking annual trips in October or November. This gave me something to look forward to and got… Continue reading Winter Wellness, Winter Bliss
