Ah, February. The shortest month of the year. A little bit longer this time around, though!  February can be a difficult month. For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, we’re dealing with dreary skies, possibly snow, sleet, or slush, and the knowledge that holidays will be few and far between from now until Memorial Day. Alternatively, it’ll be less dreary with less snow or slush, and more worries … Continue reading Shortest Month Potential
For some reason, the months of October, November, and December feel frantic most of the time. A combination of my company’s fiscal year coming to a close, two conferences that I typically go to, holidays, and vacation time to spend, and somehow I blink and the year is over! That being said, at the end of October, I was able to go to one of … Continue reading The Busy Season
It’s officially Autumn, and has been for a number of weeks in my hemisphere! That means lovely changing colors outside, the unmistakable scent of the season, and fall decorations. I’m sitting in my living room with the windows open, probably one of the last remaining days where it’s going to be warm enough to do so (according to MM, who has a low tolerance for … Continue reading Fallin’ for Orange
I’m leading into a pretty busy time at work, but that means I get to de-stress using my journal! I decided to go with a travel theme. I really dig this font! I’m the most proud of the compass, though. I did have to purchase an actual drawing compass, though. Which brought back memories of school… Which actually works, right? Because for quite a few … Continue reading New Month, New Doodles
It’s been a busy summer after a very busy spring. A bit difficult to keep up, honestly. A couple of weekend trips in July, crazy work commitments, and a visitor under the age of 10 meant keeping up with my lovely blog was less than possible. I’m a week behind with my bullet journal, and as you can see, I’m posting unfinished pages. Outlines, sometimes … Continue reading Deep Summer
I mentioned in my last post that there had been quite a few life events that were taking me away from my regularly scheduled posts, and once again, thank you so much for being patient with me as I get back into my routine. During that time, I’d not only stopped posting, I’d stopped doing quite a few of my hobbies – bullet journal prep, … Continue reading Starting Again
A coworker friend of mine mentioned being impressed by how many self-improvement activities I have going. Which means I immediately started trying to figure out how many activities I actually have (and try to figure out if I talk about them too much…)! I love going to webinars and sessions that cover subjects I’m interested in – especially those that help me lead my team … Continue reading Spring into Self-Improvement
It’s the beginning of March! And that means I go back to my bullet journal to create new pages of calendars, trackers, and ways to remind myself to be grateful. I was fooled as a kid, probably by myself, that the beginning of March was when Spring started. LIES! So, in my older age, I concentrate on the fact that St. Patrick’s day is in … Continue reading Luck of the Irish
Already through the first month of 2023 – can you believe it? January was pretty busy for me, with getting back to normal at work, complete with a business trip (and the adventurous plane rides there and back). In addition, I have continued my tradition of 30 days of Yoga with Adriene! I’m a couple of days behind, but I’ll catch up to meet my … Continue reading February is Fabulous
Happy New Year! I’ve been preparing for the new year over the past week or so, trying to get myself organized, and using the activity to let my brain simmer on a variety of resolutions or goals that I’d like to strive for in 2023. Out of the hobby resolutions I made for 2022, I think I absolutely nailed one of them – reading 50 … Continue reading Happy 2023!
