Repeat After Me – “I am perfect just the way I am”
Challenge Update: It’s Day 2 of 60 and in exercise terms it’s my official rest day. I did my morning writing, watched what I ate all day, but took the day off from any strenuous exercise in order to let my muscles recover from the week’s activities. I will be back to the weights tomorrow, [...]
Does Your Self-Care Plan Have These Three Things?

Why I Really Need a Posting Schedule
So, how was your day? It’s almost midnight, again… and for the third day in a row I haven’t got a clue what to write for you. Makes me wonder some days why I keep signing up for NaBloPoMo every month and subjecting myself to this! I really need a posting schedule so that I [...]
Happy November!
So… it’s November and for many people that means it’s National Novel Writing Month.

I spent most of yesterday going through boxes of files in my office/dining room getting ready to transfer it all into real filing cabinets. I found a lot of very interesting stuff in there, including some of my writings from a few years [...]
Listen to Your Heart
I think I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve actually posted something written by someone else on any of my blogs. But I read this article this morning and it summed up so perfectly how I’ve been feeling and what I’ve been struggling with for the last little while I just [...]
Learning Self-Discipline is Hard Work
(or… why I’ve been so quiet lately) You may have noticed that I’ve been a little quiet for the past few weeks. For once, it’s not because I went into hermit mode. In fact, it’s just the opposite… I’ve been getting my virtual face out in front of the internet marketing crowd again. It’s all [...]
