How to Achieve Financial Wellness

How to Achieve Financial Wellness

When we talked about wellness in homeschool, we broke down the eight dimensions of wellness.  While all eight dimensions are important, financial wellness is one of the most important in my book.  Financial wellness directly correlates to whether or not you are emotionally well, whether you are happy with your environment and occupation.  It connects to almost every other aspect of wellness … [Read more...] about How to Achieve Financial Wellness

How to Overcome the Fear of Missing Out

Have you heard of the fear of missing out?  I know it is not a new thing, but it is something that I have been thinking about lately – especially with all of my desire to slow life down a bit.  I need to overcome this fear. If you haven’t heard of this, it is exactly as it sounds. From Wikipedia – “a pervasive apprehension that others might be having rewarding experiences from … [Read more...] about How to Overcome the Fear of Missing Out

How to Create White Space in your Day and Why that is Important

Creating white space in my days is one of my biggest goals this year.  But what is white space?  White space is that margin in your day, your breathing room. I know that probably sounds funny, why would you want to create white space in your day, but I realized during my year of action last year that I need that white space in order to be present in my life.  I can’t continue to … [Read more...] about How to Create White Space in your Day and Why that is Important

Using One Word to Facilitate Goal Setting in the New Year

I have talked about choosing one word for the year, and also about how I am more of a long range goal planner, but how do we combine the two?  Today I plan to show you how I am using my one word – margin – in order to guide and facilitate my goals for the New Year. There seem to be two camps when it comes to goals and planning for the New Year.  One is choosing a guiding word for the … [Read more...] about Using One Word to Facilitate Goal Setting in the New Year

How to Choose a Word of the Year

I chose my first word of the year in 2013 – change.  At the time, I had been reading a blog post about choosing a word of the year, rather than making resolutions.  Change started out as me leaving a comment about how there were so many *things* I wanted to change, but it took root, and that was my word of the year. That moment was a new beginning for me. I love a new year, a new … [Read more...] about How to Choose a Word of the Year

Part of my January #tendinglist was to clean out m Part of my January #tendinglist was to clean out my office.  It took me a few days, but I *mostly* finished it and feel a lot better about how things are.

I actually picked the four hardest spaces in my house to declutter in January.  Seeing as how this is being posted today we can all acknowledge that I was way too ambitious 🤪

I made a lot of progress, and know that after I clean out our homeschool space things will be settled in my office as well. 

You can see how it all went down by clicking the link in my profile 😊
