Don’t Sweat The Small Stuff This December…

December 2, 2014 By Lorie Gill

December is here & with the Christmas holiday season fast approaching too… Woo Hoo!!!
Are you excited yet – or are you sensing your stress levels starting to rise – just thinking about the busyness of the month ahead?

PrintDon’t Sweat It… You’ll get thru –
you always do – right?

As the saying goes… “Don’t sweat the small stuff” – truth be told – it’s really all small stuff isn’t it?

I know – I know… it’s not all small stuff to you, especially during this time of year. Kind of crazy really how it gets to be super stressful with so much to do & plan, functions to attend, gifts to buy, meals to prepare (mind you there are always meals to prepare – just some bigger than others… just saying), and the list goes on and on…

Wait… Stop & just breathe for a minute or two – December really doesn’t have to be so exasperating – does it? [Read more…]

Do You Fly by the Seat of Your Pants…

November 28, 2014 By Lorie Gill

What's the plan?Do You Fly by the Seat of Your Pants…  Or do you have a defined written plan of action?

“First comes thought; then organization of that thought, into ideas and plans; then transformation of those plans into reality. The beginning, as you will observe, is in your imagination.”
~ Napoleon Hill

It’s been said that the absence of a well-laid plan often proves to have adverse effects. What do you think about that? [Read more…]

Marriage is an Adventure…

November 26, 2014 By Lorie Gill

Who ever said that marriage was easy… Lied.
It’s dang hard work – but oh so worth fighting for.coming-together-is-a-beginning-keeping-together-is-progress-working-together-is-success-13

Henry Ford summed it up pretty good when he said:
“Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.”

I believe that Marriage is an Adventure… and I’m happy to say that I made it official & signed up and for a crazy roller-coaster of an adventure 26 years ago today on November 26th,1988. [Read more…]

Try Something New – You Know You Wanna

November 25, 2014 By Lorie Gill

Try-something-new-todayHave you tried anything new lately… Anything at all?

Let me give you some ideas, to get your brain in gear – thinking about trying something new – like:

  • new foods, recipes or restaurants
  • new activities, hobbies or crafts
  • how about a new workout routine, piece of exercise equipment or fitness app
  • maybe it’s a new date night, a new brainstorming place, or a new trail for walking
  • perhaps it’s a new Networking or MeetUp group to join/try
  • or a new mode of transportation, places to visit, or things to see
  • trying something new could (should) be on your bucket list – just think of it as an opportunity for a new adventure

A Song Can Say So Much…

November 20, 2014 By Lorie Gill

Do you enjoy listening to music… and do you actually listen to the words of the songs too?

I do – I tend to be more into the words myself, although the music needs to compliment the song of course.

I believe that a song can say so much more than what we initially hear – how about you?

So today I asked my family the following:

I sent the request via our iMessage group chat that we have going on…  >>>

And yes – reading it back – I now see a spelling mistake – ugh… [Read more…]
