January 1, 2021

It’s another January 1st. But this one feels different to me than any other January 1st. Perhaps, it’s because of a global pandemic that swept us off our feet, and not in a good way, in 2020. Whatever the reason, I’m going to relish in the thought of a brighter future for us all and this is a great start.

This morning, just as the sun hit my bed, I began to read The New York Times’s The Morning Newsletter. I’ve come to appreciate and love The New York Times during these most unprecedented events in our country and world. Today’s newsletter was a Happy New Year greeting along with tips on how to keep resolutions. A few of the suggestions that really clicked for me on how to keep a resolution and make it a habit was “stacking” or “piggybacking” a new habit onto an existing habit or ritual. Lightbulb!

This read led me into a 7-Day Well Challenge, starting this Monday, to show how to build on healthy habits I made during the pandemic. I’m going to give it a shot. Today’s challenge was to make gestures of gratitude — like giving larger tips for delivery workers or appreciative texts to friends — a regular part of your day. So today, I texted an old friend, who has been a really good friend and I love her for it.

If you would like to join the challenge you can sign up for the Well newsletter to receive the next challenge in your inbox.

Happy New Year!

America, Elections, politics, Vote

The California presidential primary election is coming up. If you know me at all or have seen my Twitter feed, you know it is making me nervous. The division with politics these days is unreal and a bit scary. In this political climate I always find myself associating the good and evil with the story of Star Wars.

I am from the beginning of the Star Wars generation – A New Hope.

The Rebel Alliance is about fairness, equality and helping those who can’t help themselves.

The Galactic Empire is about power, uniform and doing what is told of you or you will not survive.

I know where I stand, how about you?

The Whirlwind of Life

America, Family, Home, politics

As I sit here trying to figure out what to write, I realize it shouldn’t be hard with so much going on in my life. But it’s a lot of little stuff going on, nothing exciting. Then I wonder, who really wants to know what’s going on in my life? My day to day activities are pretty boring. I’m a mom, wife and I work from home as a social media manager. Most of my time is spent catering to others and who wants to read about that?

However, lately I have been captivated by the goings-on of America and have my head buried in politics. Unfortunately, I have never been interested in the political arena, yet these days I am paying attention like never before and from what I’m piecing together, it’s probably a good thing that I’m paying better attention. If I don’t have my face in a book then I’m watching a documentary and if I’m not reading or watching a documentary then I’m online scouring for more information. I think more Americans need to pay better attention. I believe America is in trouble and I’m afraid not enough people believe America is in trouble and that is a scary thought.

I have learned how wonderful it is to be inspired. I have also learned that you need a little direction to do something with that inspiration. I am always inspired, but I need to work on my direction. Have you found your direction?
