Trying to Vacation

I’ve decided to take a vacation. That’s right. I’m giving myself a vacation. Because I’m my own boss. So I can do that. At least, that’s what my husband tells me. I’m still trying to convince my boss (aka, the critic I believe I previously named Chadwick) that it is all right. At first, IContinueContinue reading “Trying to Vacation”

Courage

Oh my goodness. What a crazy month. Besides having two straight weeks of company (which, don’t get me wrong, was great fun and I wouldn’t trade for the world!), I also accepted a volunteer position on the ACFW VA board of directors to be social media coordinator. So, I’ve been trying to acclimate to thatContinueContinue reading “Courage”

Failure is Easy

“To fail, you merely have to cultivate a few bad habits.” (12 Rules of Life by Jordan Peterson, page 81) This one really struck me. The entire chapter is about making friends with people who want the best for you, but this section in particular describes how most people just take the easy path inContinueContinue reading “Failure is Easy”

Touring a Maple Farm

This past weekend, on Friday, I fulfilled yet another bucket list item (speaking of which, I should go see if it is actually on my bucket list, so I can cross it off. . . I don’t know about you, but I have lots of mental bucket list things I don’t actually write down…). IContinueContinue reading “Touring a Maple Farm”

Mind-Stretching

I fairly recently finished reading the book Ordering Your Private World by Gordon MacDonald. I feel like I’ve talked about various parts of it enough, I might have even posted about it here already. But then again, I’ve been so awful lately about posting, it’s entirely possible and even probable that I haven’t mentioned it.ContinueContinue reading “Mind-Stretching”

Camping Practice: Part Two

The first order of business once we finally finished the interminable task of unloading the car and setting up the tent was finding firewood before it got dark. I might add that one of the only things I was actually looking forward to during this camping trip was sitting in front of a fire andContinueContinue reading “Camping Practice: Part Two”

Camping Practice: Part One

Have you ever heard of a “practice” camping trip? Yeah, me neither. But my husband insisted that it was necessary. When he first suggested this abominable plan in January, gently noting that I hadn’t set foot in a tent in almost two decades and insinuating it might be better to know how to set upContinueContinue reading “Camping Practice: Part One”

Working Up to Success

I know, I know – I didn’t post last week. Based on the previous weeks’ delays, I have decided that it might be time to move back to an every-other-week schedule for my blog posts. After all, with everything else on the internet, who has the time or energy to read a weekly blog postContinueContinue reading “Working Up to Success”
