EVERY STEP MATTERS.
‘Every step matters’ is my mantra, or word(s), for 2020. I read those words in a Susie Larson book and it resonated head to toe –‘Yes!’. Those 3 words have revisited me – daily. They’re slowly embedding themselves into my thinking and I’m choosing to live like it. [Read more…]
1) Questions
I’m starting an odd collection, one I’ve never heard collected before. I am starting to collect questions. I save them. Write them down in a special question journal, so I won’t forget. I’m becoming a ‘Question Keeper’ this past year. [Read more…]
It had to happen and 57 1/2 seemed a good time. I’m drawn to all lists. Period. Love ‘em. Given that, it’s no surprise I’m drawn to the ‘What I Would Tell My Younger Self’ lists.

Somehow, oops just doesn’t cover it. [Read more…]
