Happy Friday and May 1st my friend! Reviewing last month I saw the only thing I completed on my entire goal list, was to draw and make some sort of art every day. The art wasn't as good as I hope it will be soon, but it was the exercise. Remember, "I'm willing to be a beginner." ? That thought has helped me a lot. But all those things not completed! Yikes! So...what can I do to have a better outcome this month? I think it can be as simple as keeping the goal in front of me so that I see it. I think I have a little ADD or ADHD (self-diagnosed!) and it's sooooo easy for me to lose track of time and focus. I'm interested in so many things, it's easy to get pulled on to the next best thing rather than stick with, and complete, what I deep down want to do. The first thing is to be clear on what I actually want for the month. I use a planner from the life coaching program I'm part of. So my month of May ahead looks something like this: I took the time over the past few days to consider what's most important. Considering I'll be gone the last week of the month to Colorado, then off for the month of June in Norway, Sweden and The Netherlands, it's super important to me that I stay more focused than normal. So, this month, I'm writing my goals down at the top of my daily planner, and including an "action" box on each one ...this way I can see what I really want, and make sure I don't forget to work on the most important things. So nothing too crazy, but maybe these ideas will help you too. Staying focused isn't always easy, but I do think we will get more of the life we really want if we are intentional with our time and attention. Love you and hope you have a great week ahead!

Greetings my friend from the beautiful city of Oslo, Norway! I’m at the beginning of a month long trip to Scandinavia, and so far it’s been great. The first 2 days were solo before my husband joined me (I used points to fly) and that meant I could shop, wander and sketch as my heart desired…and that also meant I had the time to try something special… KOK Sauna Oslo Yes! I made a reservation at a Floating Sauna - have you heard of these? They are located in the harbors of Oslo. Here’s what it...
Greetings from Colorado Springs, Colorado! I’ve just had the pleasure of celebrating my nephew’s graduation from the United States Air Force Academy and it was all so inspiring! These “kids” have done more than we can even imagine as they have pushed the limits of their body, mind and spirit over the past 4 years. The 2026 class motto is “No Quit, All Grit.” As I watched the commissioning Wednesday night, I was touched as they each promised to “Support and defend the constitution of the...
Hey sweet friend, Happy Memorial Day Weekend! USA! Yes, seems like an oxymoron since Memorial Day by definition is a bit sad. As we remember the men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice for the sake of freedom, our hearts of full of gratitude for them and sadness for their loss. It's a good thing we can hold both emotions at once. Both can be true for sure. And that brings me to an idea I wanted to share with you today. Gratitude In the words of the C.S. Lewis Institute, "Being grateful...
