Holiday Hoedown Check-in: Week 4

Yee-haw!  I cannot believe that we are shooting into week four of this challenge.  The holiday season is hard upon us and if you are like me, you are striving to see the forest through the trees and NOT get trapped in the commercialization of Christmas and all the things we *think* we have to do.  I [...]

The December Monthly Project: Week 2 of the Season of Giving

This month’s project has nothing to do with ourselves and everything to do with other people. It’s not about weight, it’s not about confidence, it’s not about eating this or that. It’s about giving.

The Monthly Project: Loving Yourself and How Other People See It
