Do You Procrastinate?
Hey Reader
I have been procrastinating. Every time I see the bookcase in my office, I roll my eyes.
On a Saturday afternoon, I decide to finally clean up the stacks of notebooks, journals, and piles of paper on my bookcase. The ones I put there “just for now until I can get to them”.
I sit on the floor and start to flip through a half-used journal. As I read my own handwriting, I remember ...
- when I wrote it down,
- the prayers that I whispered at that point in the journey,
- the insights that were revealed and scribbled,
- the books that I read and quoted,
- the Bible verses I swore I was going to refer to,
- the action steps I was determined I was going to take.
I poured my heart out in most of that journal, but there are quite a few blank pages at the end.
I feel myself tearing up, I am not sure why-
But, back to work, I'm here to clean the bookcase!

I don't want to waste the wisdom, ideas, and inspiration I have been given because I'm a perfectionist, distracted or disorganized.
How do you keep track of the paper clutter, ideas and inspiration that you want to keep AND to how do you find it when you need it?
Hit reply and let me know if you have a system or need one!

Hey there Reader~ Have you ever had that awkward feeling walking into a party or a networking event and it seems like everyone already knows each other, or at least knows someone?

You see the popular group, effortlessly magnetic, and maybe even hover close hoping the proximity will give others the impression that you belong. I used to do that. It was exhausting. Eventually, I...
Reader It seems like everyone- coast to coast- is complaining about the record heat! We should be used to it in Arizona, I mean c'mon, it happens every year 😎🌵 Back in Vermont, where I grew up, the old-timer locals would say, "Wicked hot!" or "Raining again? There goes the summer." So, why don't we ever have a plan for something productive that we COULD do (and probably something we say we always want to get to 'someday') when the weather doesn't cooperate? The weather is perfect in Arizona...
Hey there Reader~ It seems like life in the summer was simpler when we were kids (or maybe we didn't have a clue what was going on). For me, it was riding my bike to meet my friends at the public beach. For my kids, it was deciding whose pool they would swim in today. We would meet our neighbors at an impromptu neighborhood BBQ, or end up in the middle of the lake, tying the boats together with whoever was there. The kids would jump in the water, the moms would pull food out of the coolers,...
