Posh Pretenders

This week has flown past, possibly because Norm was away since Thursday morning so I was Chief in Charge. It was a bit overwhelming so I put a routine in place since each of the dogs need meds throughout the day, I put on alarms via my phone and of course created a spreadsheet otherwise …

Where the Light Gets In

Last week I wrote about the need for expressing gratitude and thankfulness in order to bring positivity into your life. This got me thinking about my own past and how long it took me to reach this point. It reminded me to not judge others, we are all evolving at our own pace. I have …

Attitude of Gratitude

Bewitched and Bedazzled

Last week my house sitter told me that our garden is looking lovely and that made me so happy! Obviously I think so but it is nice to hear from others that it is noticed. If only I could blink like Samantha from Bewitched and have all of our planned changes done at once. Instead …

Home On My Doorstep

Do you ever have one of those mornings where so many annoying things sequentially occur that you feel you might be better off going back to bed and starting over later? I have had two in one week. The first was last Sunday. I woke up in the early hours because I was hot and …

Disassociated

As it was a 4 day work week it flew by, especially with work and life being so busy. Luckily little Panda is much better and that has been our primary stressor. On Friday Panda went to the vet for his end of meds check up and they have decided to keep him on antibiotics …

Creating My Reality

One of the concepts of my 12 week coaching session was that we need to be able to imagine the changes we wish to happen in our lives. We wrote down what we wanted to change, such as how much weight we wanted to lose during the 12 weeks, what fitness goals we wanted to …

Last Drops

Last weekend the weather was absolutely stunning and we made the most of it, trying to squeeze out the last drops of sunny fun. This week has been cold and the last few days have been really windy. Last Saturday I cleaned the house. Those who know me may have fainted at this statement as …
