🍝 Throw it at the wall and see what sticks...🤷♀️
|
Hey Reader 🤷♀️ I first learned this in Girl Scout Camp… The phrase "throw spaghetti at the wall and see if it sticks" comes from the idea of testing pasta for doneness—specifically, cooking spaghetti until it's just right. There’s an old (and slightly messy!) kitchen trick that suggests if you throw a strand of spaghetti against the wall, and it sticks, then it’s cooked and ready. But if it falls off, it’s still too firm. ✅ Now, everyone uses this phrase and I wonder if they understand where it came from? 😬 Have you ever tried throwing spaghetti at the wall? Outside of the literal meaning, “throw the spaghetti” means to try new things to see what works or what resonates with you. 🍝 Don’t worry if it doesn’t stick! That may just be a timing issue (you can always let that idea simmer a little longer and try again)! 🤷♀️ In this week's blog, I explored the difference between goals vs plans~ is it wishful thinking or are you taking action?Are goals and plans the same thing? Goals are like wishful thinking until you put action behind them! It’s what you want to do vs what makes it on your to-do list.
Setting goals is a good thing, but at some point, you may need to take some action on those goals to see if they are going to "stick". Deciding where you are going is the first step to getting there.

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? Cue the flashback to the first days of school—12 years in a row—scanning the room, hoping someone makes eye contact. 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,...
