Go Un-Plug Yourself…‏

Tweet At first glance, this could seem a little inappropriate, but I promise, it’s not! I’ll admit that I’m coming off a mini-vacation that I, in a way, forced upon myself after running an insane amount in 2 days. But what that time away did was give me a chance to look at what I’ve…

A Goofy Retrospective of 2009

Tweet Believe it or not, but I’ve put off writing this for over a week. No big reason why, no huge, daunting challenge BUT I figured “retrospective” spoke more to the very end of the year rather than the end of the year, but still needing to squeeze in just one more week. When I…

You Don’t NEED A New Year’s Resolution

Tweet I know how crazy it sounds coming from me, but I really don’t believe in New Year’s Resolutions. I think that they are too stressful and too demanding. What if you have a bad day and fall off the resolution wagon?  You just call it quits? You’d be suprised how many times that happens. Go…

Annette’s Holiday Survival Guide: Don’t Just Survive, but Thrive this Holiday Season

Tweet I’ve got an interesting challenge for you. How about instead of just surviving the holidays this year, that you thrive through the holidays? Let’s get the basics out of the way.   The holiday season is fast approaching, less than 24 hours to be realistic.   It cannot be avoided or ignored.  If you…

Surviving The Holidays, Your Family & Those Darn Fruitcakes

Tweet Okay, so be honest with me. Are you looking forward to the holidays? Let’s see, there is shopping, eating, decorating, eating, holiday get-togethers, eating, crowded streets and malls, eating, end of year projects, eating, bills, eating, family and EATING! Let’s face it, the holidays can be brutal if you don’t know how to approach…

Are You Self Sabotaging?

Tweet I don’t really like to use the word “Sabotage”.    To be honest, I love the way it sounds.  It kind of just rolls off the tongue…   But I hate using the word because it means that we’re doing something that we know we shouldn’t be.   We’re all smart and we all know better….

Hold Onto the Summertime Just a Little Longer…

Tweet I am not ready to give up on Summer and I really don’t think you should either! Summer doesn’t officially end for a few more days, but the weather outside doesn’t always cooperate with our calendars! Although the days are getting noticeably shorter, the weather is still nice enough to take advantage of nicer…

Sometimes You Just Need A Change In Perspective

Tweet A question for you: How do you get to work? Meaning, physically, how do you get to work?  Do you take the same route every single day? If you don’t work, then how do you get to your favorite places? Do you take the same roads, the same turns, the same everything to get…

Even The Little Things Count…

Tweet Have you ever considered the little things in life? I mean the things that often go unnoticed or unchecked by most people? Sometimes it could be something little like a small leak in your bathroom that doesn’t get any attention until it does some damage. Sometimes it could be the quietest little sound your…

Slowing Down, Big Time

Tweet When was the last time you really slowed down? I don’t mean that you drove under the speed limit or that you got stuck behind someone you thought was too slow at the supermarket. When was the last time you slowed down enough to take a breath? When was the last time that you…
