I am the girl who starts the effort of going to the gym on the first of the month. I start a new piece of paper if I mess up on my grocery list. And I need a clean house before I leave for vacation so that when I come home. I LOVE FRESH STARTS […]

Goals. conceivable [put them into words], achievable [you have the time and energy] statements of intent that propel you toward your vision [you have to have a vision…]. As a small business owner, I am my own boss. Although I’m not as intimidated by myself as I wish, setting goals is the best way to […]

I decided I’d write a huge long list and keep it going with everything I wanted to do during my few months “off.” And so I did. I wrote and I wrote and my list grew and I slowly began to cross things off. I gave myself “things to do” each day, and in the […]

Happy April! I’m going to officially say that this marks the end of the off season. This week, I’ll be preparing for Saturday, “Opening Day,” i.e. my first wedding of the year. I thought to kick off this year’s wedding season, I’d review my off season game plan. I wrote this November 9th, 2012. Looking […]

Yesterday, Chad and I went outside in the snow and built a snowman. We sat on the couch catching up on NCIS while I blogged and caught up on emails and chores. I turned to him at 2:30 and said, “I’m done.” He looked cozy, but I assured him we’d have fun if we went […]

Today is Friday. There is snow on the ground. And I got home from DC last night at 3am. These three things alone make me want to stay in bed just a little bit longer. To soak up the feeling of sleeping in. But my alarm rang at 8am and I woke up to get […]

I love NPR’s list of why we love making lists. Lists provide order. They help us focus. They are finite. I’ve spent some time making a list of things this off season holds. The variety is rediculous. Some of the items are for me. Some are for others. Some are work, others are fun. But […]

I have been pretty much M.I.A. for the past 5 or 6 days. I have been away from a computer so there have been no blog posts, no tweets, no facebook posts, and no online presence whatsoever. And I’m so embarrassed! But, I have a pretty good reason. In the next 5 weeks, Chad and […]

In college I was a member of an organization that taught that Vision, Goals and Steps were 100% necessary for success.  Because if you don’t know where you’re going, how can you move forward?  Chad and I sat down prepared a list of goals for us personally, and professionally for this year.  But, in order […]
