Lists, Goals and Moving Forward….

Any guesses on the mini-tute I’m working on? Yeah, I’ve needed to take pictures of items just waiting to go in my shop. Then I need to edit them ~ not my favorite thing. ;-) What have you been working on? Do you have a list of things unfinished around your house? What goals are you accomplishing? Celebrate the wins! (& just move forward when you fall down).

Growth Wednesday - or not?

Well, I guess today’s Growth Wednesday post will be more about how life can send us surprises. ;-) There are no pictures, just words today. Let me play my day backwards for you.

I imagine sitting down with my cup of coffee and thinking of how we can “spur one another on” ~ be the catalyst. {Read More}

Growth - Plan Ahead

Like this entire week Growth Wednesday is a little different today ~ Ok, so I’m a frazzled woman this week. Somehow I got behind and I can’t seem to catch up.

What am I doing that I can make more efficient? How can I streamline things? How can I group things into simple chunks {Read More}
