Last week I introduced you to my new blog post category – “Nest” with a fun idea of planting your own Easter grass. Today I introduce my second new category – “Inspire”. On Monday’s I will be sharing ideas and tips that have inspired me and that hopefully will inspire you. The majority of them will have something to [...]
Finding Focus – Part One, Now what was I doing?
March 2, 2008 By 5 Comments
Recently, I was diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D. -Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder. This is how it manifests: I decide to water my garden. As I turn on the hose in the driveway, I look over at my car and decide it needs washing. As I start toward the garage, I notice mail on the porch table [...]

This past week I was doing a little “cleaning out” of my files and came across a handout dated 1998. It was from a presentation done by a fellow “side line” in my direct sales company, Linda Hill. The presentation was entitled “Help! I’m in a Rut? How do I Get Out?” Usually about [...]

It is freezing cold here in Portland, Oregon. O.k., it’s only in the low 30′s but the wind is blowing and for us that is cold (I did grow up in Wisconsin so I really do know what cold is but I have lived in Oregon long enough to have readjusted). So any way – [...]

It’s my birthday today. I enjoyed a fun, yummy lunch with girlfriends and there were even gifts! I have been thinking about gifts a lot lately – not just because of the past holidays and my birthday but because of a movie we watched as a family during the break. If you have not seen “The [...]
Catch Up Day

Have you ever felt like you just weren’t getting everything done? Do you have too many projects that won’t fit into your weekly/daily schedule? Too many loose ends – not enough time! I feel that way quite often – especially with a homebased business when there are so many other distractions during your day. Those “waiting [...]

This post is a day late because yesterday, Monday, a typical “office day” for me was also a day off of school for the girls. So I decided to take the day off too and play with my girls. We enjoyed a day together and took a field trip to the IKEA store that opened [...]
