Small Life, Slow Life: Love What You Do, Take a Paycut, Photos & Links! (Whew!)
How was your week? Mine was jam-packed; I can’t even believe it’s Friday already! If I had it my way, I’d post in Small Life, Slow Life every day. I was in fact just discussing this with some work friends after a staff meeting yesterday. We were talking (over mimosas!) about how a very small … Continue reading
Small Life, Slow Life: How to Make a Vision Board! {Photos}
You don’t have to be all new agey, woo-woo or into The Secret to make a vision board! But if you really hate the term, how about just calling it a “collage” and let’s move on, mmkay? I’ve been making collages since I was a teenager. To my mother’s horror, I once covered every square … Continue reading
Small Life, Slow Life: Go on a Date…without your Phone!
C and I are both busy people and our phones are glued to our fingers. C does all his own scheduling, so he’s constantly hearing from clients. There’s also facebook, twitter, WordPress, Words with Friends, Draw Something…all these things keep me busy, and we were despairing a few weeks ago that we missed just having … Continue reading
Small Life, Slow Life: A Kick of Creativity! (DIY-Central!)
It’s been busy lately! Work, work and more work. Not too much play. Sadface! And, as it always goes when I’m super busy, I’m on a major creativity kick. All day long I’m thinking about sewing, writing, drawing and cooking. Watch me not care about any of that once things slow down! Regardless, I thought … Continue reading
Small Life, Slow Life: On Cravings & Leaning in to What You Really Want
The No Limits Tank is out in Pow Purple. I saw it being pulled out of boxes in the backroom and squealed. “Ohhh,” I sighed, letting it drip through my fingers, “I have to have it. I’m buying it!” That being said, I felt the same way/said the same thing about the Pack Your Practice … Continue reading
Small Life, Slow Life: What Happens When I Get Caught in the Big Life, Fast Life
It happened! It happened. I got all overloaded with work, I said yes to two big projects (one out of obligation, one because it thrilled my soul + was lucrative), I worked seven days straight without playtime. I got caught in my own trap. It happens to the best of us and it also definitely … Continue reading
Small Life, Slow Life: So You Want to Work from Home? (Think Twice.)
“Your answer supports my theory that what everyone wants is simply control over their own schedule,” she said. In the months since she made her proclamation I have tried to disprove her theory but I can’t do it. Because I do think that that is what we all want. We want to cook meals and … Continue reading
Small Life, Slow Life: The Quickest, Fail-Proof Bad Mood Banisher (aka the “Kickass Stuff I Like in My Life Journal”)
Trust me, I roll my eyes as much as you do when I hear the overly-shared advice for living a longer, happier life. Sometimes I wish Oprah and Deepak and Dr. Oz would just stuff it already. Confession: I’ve even been known to completely close a webpage when I get to oodles of “feel better” … Continue reading
Small Life, Slow Life: The Difference Between Leading a Small Life and Living Small
There’s a difference between leading a small life and living small. And it’s huge. Leading a small life: Living within your financial means. Staying on top of your “stuff” so your home isn’t filled with junk. Going for walks. Spending time in the back yard (or the park, or going on a drive) with someone you … Continue reading
