Focus – Removing Distractions
I have been thinking so much about my One Word for 2014 – Focus. My main task right now is to figure out how to take that word and turn it into an umbrella underneath which I have smaller sections, if you will, to work on. This is way harder than I thought it would…

What’s the One Word?
I’ve been thinking a lot about my One Word for 2014 – Focus. (Just to get this out of my brain, I have to admit that saying that I’m going to focus on having more Focus is really messing with my head. OK, let’s try to move on.) I chose this for my One Word in 2013. I may…

First Word of 2014
Hello, friends. Welcome to 2014! I’m not quite ready to dive into my new year of posting just yet – I’ve still got some thinking to do. But I am ready to commit to my One Word for 2014 so I can at least put that out there – mostly for me, but if it…

Focus on Trying to Get It Together
Ever feel like you just can’t quite pull yourself together? I’m having a big spell of that right now. Ever since going down with the stomach virus after Thanksgiving, I just can’t seem to get myself back in a groove. Anywhere. Work, home, writing, chores – you name it, I’m feeling out of it. As…

Focus on Small Surprises
Every now and then, just when you think you’ve figured out a few things about how the world works, it throws you a curve ball. I got several this week…and the week has barely begun. Perhaps trivial, these are my recent head-scratcher moments.

Focus on Getting Things Done
I am a terrible procrastinator. Or maybe I am a great procrastinator. Perspective is everything. Procrastination is something that many ADD/ADHDers struggle with. I am one of them. Always have been. Sometimes the procrastination arises from a decision – yes, a conscious choice to put something off. Sometimes it’s more situational or behavioral – it…

Focus on What We Do Have
It’s very easy to get frustrated and upset with your life circumstances when things aren’t going your way. Very easy. Unfortunately, I’ve been doing a lot of that lately. I’ve been doing a lot of whining and complaining and asking God “hey, when is it our turn?” It accomplishes all sorts of negativity and creates…

Focus on Simple Pleasures
Going to the supermarket without a specific plan is a dangerous game. Things like this happen… “First of the Season!” That’s what the sign said. Who could resist? It was impossible. Reading parts of Thoreau’s Walden today (a longtime favorite), I got to thinking that he really got it right – simplicity is the way…

Focus on Right Now
I am a very impatient person. When I decide I want something done, I want it done yesterday. Or sooner. I think I’ve always been this way. There are so many things in my life that I can recall wishing would happen faster, end faster, take less time.

On Burdens, Strength, and Balance
No, I have not abandoned my blog. Honest. I have not left the country, joined the French Foreign Legion, won the lottery, or found a vacancy in a colony on the moon. Kinda feels like it, though. I’ve been feeling a bit like Dorothy, whirling about in the cyclone of life.
