New Feature!

New Blog List!

I went through my other blogs, to find the way I used to have the blog list set up { and I found it!!! }.. rather than me manually putting them in and just having a link, it has actual feedback from that blog. So now you'll see on the right sidebar the new updated links in "Our Blog Happenings" to the latest post on each of your blogs! If any of you have created or decided to take your blog public, and would like to have yours featured on CL, please send me the link and I'll be glad to update it onto our page!

Enjoy!

That way we can prioritize and refocus on what's important now. Please check out the above articles, the "Tips" as I've called them are really just slides, so the articles aren't very long at all. Check them out, see if anything sounds like something you'd to perhaps work on for yourself and make a list of what stands out the most. I'll be back later in the day to see what everyone has to say and we'll go from there! Love to all of you! Have a wonderful day!

Challenges Coming Soon..!

Here are a few of the ideas that I've been in the process of growing. I know it looks small here, but if you just click on the image it will blow it up to full size, it should be easy enough to see then, let me know what you think!


*** Also, just a reminder, Week 4 of the February Challenges is due Today! Tomorrow starts March Madness! Hope you all have as much fun with them as I will! So glad to have you awesome girls to share with! *hugs*

Helping to Meditate

I just wanted to remind everyone of this incredibly simple, yet so effective site. If you need a bit of peace & serenity, give this a shot:

    Calm    

It's so easy & really helps if you find your mind wandering when you are trying to calm it. :)

Spiral

So.. I've been on a downward spiral of bad habits on top of bad habits! It typically starts with bad news, aka someone is sick or dying or has died. Or it is something unexpected that throws my game outta whack. I need desperately to gain back some sort of upward momentum! With that being said, I am going to be trying harder to get myself together on challenges & activities. I have a decent start, just need to figure out how to follow-through!

I take my blood pressure meds every morning, I managed to develop that as a good habit. Why is it so hard to get the rest going?! Anyway, I hope to have more to post tomorrow on what I'd like to do & maybe I can get a group of us together working towards similar goals! My attitude has sucked lately & that changes now. I have to be better about being better!

Anyone with me?! Here's to making a positive change!

Valentine's Day TOEs Project!

I just wanted to thank you girls again for participating! If you haven't already opened your package please feel free to do so. I'm so thankful that you all have participated in the events and I just want to remind you that you never need feel pressured to join something you don't want to, or can't do.

It's all in fun, I am so glad we've been able to do what we have so far. I am hoping to post some new ideas for group projects and or mailing fun. Maybe some new challenges as well. I will be updating the List Yourself Lists so if you are enjoying those, look for that coming up soon. Also, feel free to share any ideas you have for projects and or challenges. We've gotten great ideas from members, so please share we can all enjoy the fun of your ideas too.
