2021 has been quite a roller coaster. I can’t believe we are nearing the end of it and it is time for my yearly wrap up posts. I’m working on finalizing my new themes for 2022 and excited to share them with you in the new year. But before then, I’ll be taking the week of Christmas off from posting and then back with one more wrap up post for the year. Continue reading

October Wrap Up and November Goals
Here we are… in November of 2021. The year has been a strange roller coaster but we’ve made it to the holidays which means if you blink it will be 2022 and I’ll be starting on a whole new set of themes and re-evaluating my goals with the 2022 Powersheets. But I don’t want to get too far ahead of myself so in the meantime, here is my October Re-cap and November Tending List… Continue reading

How I Stopped Being so Stingy with Myself
I am often so stingy with myself- perhaps it is related to my recovering perfectionism, my constant inner critic telling me I don’t deserve nice things because I haven’t been good enough. Or perhaps it is from my scarcity complex reminding me how little income I’ve faced before and that I should be constantly scared of being back in that situation. Whatever the reason, it has been a long, ups and downs journey of learning to be more generous with myself- generous with my time, my money, and my expectations and forgiveness. Continue reading

How I Started Trail Running and Tips If You Want to As Well!
It is finally cooling off again! One of the most exciting things about that for me is that I can return to trail running- something I still consider myself to be a bit of a beginner at, but that I have done for about a year now. SO I thought I’d share a bit about how I started trail running and what I would say to someone who might be interested in doing the same! Continue reading

How Goodreads Helped me with Diversity…
As was probably apparent in my post about How I Read so Many Books, I LOVE to get lost in a good book. However, it wasn’t until I started really tracking what I read through Goodreads that I started to Continue reading

Runners High: OR, How Starting is the Hardest Part
When I first started running I was convinced that a runner’s high was a cruel, inhumane lie that runners told other people to trick them into joining in on the misery. So I thought I’d write a post about how I started my running journey and while I will be focusing on running, I think some of the lessons from it apply to starting anything new and difficult. I also have been just really missing running because it is INSANELY hot here in Phoenix already, but I know that summer is prime running time for my readers in other parts of the country so it seemed like as good a time as any to share this! And even if you are not a runner and never become a runner, I believe there are some parallels that will apply to you anyway… Continue reading

How I Read Over 100 Books in a Year
This would usually be the time of year when I share my favorite books from the year before, but since I already did that as my final post of 2020, I thought I would do my first HOW post on how I read so much… Continue reading
