Doing One Thing at a Time
To do two things at once is to do neither. (Publilius Syrus)
I’ve been scurrying around trying to get everything done at once these days. “There’s just so much to do,” I keep saying. But I’ve found that in the last week, I’ve done less than I usual. That’s because while trying to preform one task, I’m constantly thinking about the other tasks I need to do. This slows me down and causes me to loose focus. Continue Reading »

Pressing Forward in the Face of Trials
We’ve all heard the phrase, Anything that can go wrong will go wrong. This seems to be true for my family right now. We’ve been having some difficult times.

I have not read his book but I agree with most everything in the interview. Since watching it, my husband and I use the term “food like substance” all the time. The interview is in four parts. I’ll post the first and if you like it you can find the other parts on your own. Continue Reading »

When Things Don’t Go As Planned Look For New Opportunities
No matter how well we plan and how sure we are things will go a certain way, there are always elements of situations that are beyond our control. My family is moving to London. We were supposed to leave today, but because of bad weather in New York and delays we’re still in Florida and spending the night at my parents’ house. We had a nice day at the airport though. We’re thinking of it as a test run. Continue Reading »
Defining Success and Achieving It
Success is the progressive realization of a worthy goal. (Earl Nightingale, The Strangest Secret)
Many people mark success by the car they drive and the house they own. People covet the possessions of the rich and famous and think if I had eight Hummers like (insert name of celebrity here) and a multi-million dollar house, I’d be happy. I’d have every thing I’d ever want. I’d be a success. I don’t think we can find success simply through acquiring things. Continue Reading »
