Have you ever noticed the difference between people who do the things they say they want to do versus those who seem to just continue to only talk about doing those things?

With many reminders of gratitude lingering in the air, happy December 2025! 

What are you ready to conquer during this last month of the year?

Food for thought, while counting down the days until 2026, what core values are you open to strengthening to help you finish up this year with a smile.

Through it all, what is truly amazing are the number of things in our homes we can lose sight of on a regular basis. Whether those items gets buried deep in a closet or sitting out in the open and somehow, seem to get overlooked on a daily basis.

There is a saying as well that youth is wasted on the young because we learn so much about life as we grow older. What we know as we enter one decade after another is that each decade can be measurable in so many ways.

Life can be full of one storm or another. There are storms we can see coming and storms that seem to come straight out of a blue sky. In my opinion, there is no better place to ride out the storms of life than the places in our homes that give comfort, most especially when we need it most.

Do you ever wake up Monday morning and feel like you might have been hit by a Mac Truck after a very full physically demanding weekend?

Well, that is me this morning my friend. But onward I go to grow, as there is much that I look forward to accomplishing in the week ahead.

Do you ever feel the nudges from the universe telling you that one decision is much better over another. Perhaps you have even come to know it as a gut instinct. Remembering that not making a decision is actually making a decision.

I never understood the idea that you’re supposed to mellow as you get older. Slowing down isn’t something I relate to at all. The goal is to continue in good and bad, all of it.” — Diane Keaton

Before leaving, I did a little tour with Ed behind the camera to share how our garden is faring about now. The garden has done well again this year producing so much and still going strong. The nights are getting colder to be sure but no frost as of yet!

Here we go heading into the first full week of October 2025. My question for you today is… What in your life is currently getting your full attention?

And when I ask about attention, I want to emphasize on the idea of your FULL attention. Keeping in mind the meaning of the word attention which is the act or power of carefully thinking about, listening to, engaging with or watching someone or something.
