Kick bad habits

K is for Kicking Bad Habits

While it’s still a little early in the year to start thinking about my New Year’s resolutions, I have been thinking about some bad habits that I witness (and yes, exhibit) regularly. So here are three areas where you may want to evaluate—and kick—your bad habits. Kick Bad Social Habits So often, I have encountered groups whose entire social calendar revolves around bad habits like drinking, gossiping, or gorging on gluttonous foods. While the people involved might be lovely people, it...

H is for Hard Work

Have you ever thought about how you would define hard work?  I think we can all agree field workers that spend eight hours a day picking produce under the hot summer sun are performing hard work. Of course, that goes without being said. But is physical labor the only kind of hard work? According to a rather short-sighted article by Jason Fried, the answer is yes. But I disagree, and I’ll tell you why. WHAT IS HARD WORK Of course, chefs in...

Godly Goals

G is for Godly Goals

I have a feeling that for many of my readers, the idea of Godly Goals might be a foreign concept. Goals are just goals, right? Well, not so fast. In a recent conversation with a dear friend, she told me that she was in a knitting competition with one of her acquaintances. At first, her competitiveness came roaring alive but for all the wrong reasons. The passive aggressiveness of her competitor got the better of her, and soon she found...

E is for Education

E is for Education

My all-time favorite saying is, “You don’t have to have a degree to have an education.” I’m not sure if I came up with the quote or if I heard it somewhere, but either way, it resonated deeply within me. It took me 17 years after high school graduation to earn my Bachelor’s degree. While I went to school on and off during those years, I was constantly learning. My informal education includes hundreds of books on health, natural healing...

Don't Wait for Perfect Timing

D is for Don’t Wait

How many times have you said to yourself or someone else, “The time just isn’t quite right.” Or “I’ll start _____ when _____ happens.”  If you’re anything like me, the answer is “too many times.” Why Waiting for the Perfect Time is Ill-Advised The truth is, there is no such thing as the perfect time. Sure, there’s an ideal time, but perfection is an unattainable goal. I want you to consider what you could achieve if you weren’t waiting for the...

C is for Career

C is for Career

What's the Difference Between a Job and a Career? Have you ever thought about the difference between a job and a career? While we often use those words interchangeably, there is a distinct difference between the two. One of the easiest ways to tell if you’re working a job or a career is to examine your mindset. Are you working this position as just a means to an end?  Do you work just to support your basic needs but aren’t passionate...

B is for Balance

Feeling Balanced is About Effective Time Management In today’s current work environment, many of us are working from home part-time or full-time. I know I am not the only person struggling to focus at home when my kid needs help with something, or the laundry needs switching out, or I think of something late at night, and decide to get a jump-start on tomorrow.
