Is it just me or is December flying by?
A few entries ago I promised to share a few of my 2006 goals and give a progress report. I’ve chosen five goals (from my list of 25) to share with you.
Why five? Why these five?
I’ve chosen these five goals because they represent the different status […]
Last week I shared one of my goals for 2006… to do a top-to-bottom house cleaning.
I’ll admit that I’m still feeling pretty overwhelmed with all that I have left to do.
I created a checklist of things I needed to do to finish cleaning the den. It had 5 tasks on it.
Den cleaning

This past January I created a list of goals for 2006. For the past few weeks I’ve been very aware that one of my major personal goals is still a long way from being completed. The goal? Do a top-to-bottom, whole-house cleaning.
I was surprised to see that I’ve actually completed 50 percent of that […]
Last week Mike Harris, a good friend of mine, performed his Mike Harris & Friends (a one-man show) program at a church in Saco, Maine.
He borrowed my digital recorder so that he’d be able to create an audio CD of this show. Our goal was to have a great CD he could sell during […]
I’m so excited for my friend Candy!
Candy is a great motivational speaker and a good friend. She makes me laugh, cry, and push myself just a little bit more to achieve the things I want in life. I think I do the same for her.
Last week we met for breakfast (my favorite meal of the […]
I’ve heard many speakers and business marketing experts say “A confused mind says “No!”
Personal experience suggests this to be true. If I feel overwhelmed with choices, I won’t pick anything. It happens to me when shopping for clothes, makeup (which I still don’t wear because there are sooooo many choices, and breakfast cereal.
I don’t want […]
UGH! Have I mentioned before that I don’t like to exercise? Okay, it isn’t the exercise I mind so much, it’s the sweating… no, it’s the exercise… and the sweating.
But I find that it’s something that MUST be done no matter how much I resist it. Okay, I don’t HAVE to do it, but I […]
Have you ever been so motivated to accomplish something that you forgot to eat or sleep? What types of activities usually spur you to feel that way? What motivates you?
I’ve often heard that you can be motivated in two ways:
You can be motivated away from something (pain)
You can be motivated toward something (pleasure)
Amazingly, not everyone […]
My September project (yes, I know it’s October) has been to scrape and repaint the cedar shingles on the side of our home. This one side gets beat to crap by the sun, wind and rain. The rest of the house looks fine, but this one side was really showing it’s age.
I borrowed a Little […]
The other night someone asked me how I managed to get all the things done that I do. Because I know how much more I want to get done and could get done, it usually surprises me when someone thinks I’ve done a lot.
My pithy response to this person was: “I don’t know. I […]
