Yesterday, I was repotting a few plants and I am not a “plant person” but people keep moving and giving me plants and I do have a nice sunny light-filled house so I try. I had one plant (some kind of desert palm guy) who was completely root bound, there was almost no soil left and I had to work and work to loosen the roots enough to get him out of the pot. This plant was completely stuck and as a result not only couldn’t grow but was starting to suffer.

Much of the good stuff in life takes place outside of your comfort zone! Learning new things, starting a business, going on adventures, it’s all a bit risky, but where would we be without taking risks?

I’d like to share with you a few tools I use to take more risks in life, let me know in the comments below if you have any to add to our list.

They learned, tested, applied, and figured out what works for them. Your results may or may not be the same, there are many many...

I’m beginning to think that not normal is just, well normal!

Here I was looking forward to a chill week at home catching up on work projects, getting back into our homeschool routine and we’ve got Covid, again…. (and, yes, we are vaccinated). 

 The truth is a completely “normal” week with no extra events, holidays, birthdays, sickness or other minor or major disasters is a very rare thing indeed! I’m trying to embrace the chaos while remembering...

I love the holidays, decorating, spending time with family and friends, cooking & sharing delicious food, and picking out gifts I think people will really like.

I also don’t love the holidays, the extra cleaning, wrapping presents (so annoying and time-consuming), getting out of my normal routines feels stressful, the high expectations for picture-perfect events often leads to stress or disappointment when people inevitably act like imperfect humans and did I mention the extra...
