Welcome to Day 25 of 31 Ways to Embrace Lopsided Living! Today's post is all about something I always MEAN to do ... but often fail to accomplish. It's one of those things that makes its way to my "to do" list every week and then gets bumped to the next week's list. I know it's important. I know it matters. And I love it when people do it for me. But somehow, in the middle of writing, laundry, and assuring the dog he doesn't have to bark at every little sound, this is often what remains ... [Read More]
People Are the Priority!
Welcome to Day 24 of 31 Ways to Embrace Lopsided Living!

It’s Okay to Do Something instead of Everything
Welcome to Day 20 of 31 Ways to Embrace Lopsided Living! I need to make a confession. I didn't use my Jawbone yesterday. Why?
