I apologize for this being my first post in over a month. Especially to Andrea. December was a month full of appointments, a few disappointments, some good news and I’ve had super low energy for most of the month plus a migraine that wouldn’t end. Onward to my discussion about what I focused on for…Continue Reading “Decluttering and Deep Cleaning”
Throughout December I wanted to focus on Being the Example to my children, husband, and all others around me. I have found that I get caught up in what I think should be, instead of focusing on what actually is. I had 5 goals: just be kind, be the cheerleader, cultivate traditions, connect first, and…Continue Reading “December Recap”
November was my month for self discovery and just being Andrea. I had 6 goals: start a collection, determine my signature color, dive deep into personality, listen to more music, read, and to determine a quest. Unlike October’s failure, I totally rocked this Happiness Project month! It was surprisingly easy to Just Be. The Good:…Continue Reading “Just Be Me”
During the month of October, I focused on my love of reading for my happiness project. It was an interesting month for me to try and do the happiness project as I was traveling to see Andrea and had other things planned. I had a multitude of activities planned for this month and I pretty…Continue Reading “For the love of reading”
Oh October, how I have failed thee. Sigh. Lighten Up was my resolution for October, and I found it was far from that. My intentions were solid–accept other’s feelings, listen and engage, enjoy the process, reframe the situation, say yes more, and sing in the morning. However, I found myself stuck in emotional turmoil and…Continue Reading “October Recap…and Moving Onward”
As I pondered on my resolution for October for my Happiness Project, I realized that it had been a long time since I’ve literally laughed out loud. I mean a tear, snot producing laugh that leaves you bent over in pain because your abs hurt. I searched my brain for any memory of the last…Continue Reading “Lighten Up”
For the month of September for my Happiness Project, I resolved to clear my mind. I realized this summer, that my mind is crammed with too many details–play dates, appointments, clutter, unfinished projects, disorganization, piles of disorganized pictures, etc. I’m sure we all have a few too many things cluttering our minds, making it difficult…Continue Reading “September Recap”
I think we all know that having good relationships with friends and family is a huge happiness booster. If you are like me, then you can find yourself getting caught up in your own world – health issues, housework, work, hobbies, etc. – that you may neglect making time for the people in your life….Continue Reading “Working on My Relationships”
For the month of September, I am focusing on relationships for my happiness project. This makes it the appropriate month to not only work on my relationships and think about them, but to address the elephant in the room – dating. If you know me well, you know that I don’t date much or really…Continue Reading “This Dating Life…or Lack Thereof”
Happiness—oh how we desire thee. I mean, who doesn’t want to be happier? I know. I know. It’s not something you can make yourself be all the time. It’s a state of mind which is highly dependent, for most, on circumstances. But what if we could just have more of it? If we could put…Continue Reading “Our Happiness Projects”
