🍝 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. Don't leave it up to chance. Throw some ideas at the wall and see what sticks

Hey Reader Do you ever forget how old you are? Whenever I go to the grocery store and see the sign by the checkout that says, "You must be born after today's date in 2002 to purchase alcohol or cigarettes". It's always a shock to me. I was in a sarcastic mood one day. The acne-faced young man that was working the self-checkout area had to ask me for my date-of-birth to clear the "age restricted" item in my shopping cart. I couldn't resist messing with him. So as he punched in the numbers on...
