Invest In: Quality Time

This weekend, mortality sort of slapped me right in the face. It reminded me how important it is to take a step back from the rush and bustle and really invest some quality time in you, and in your loved ones. In the grand scheme of things, our lives seem so fleeting. Related posts:

To Buy or Not To Buy: Made In China

Last year, the amazing Scarlet told me she’d embarked on a mission not to buy goods with a Made in China tag.

Invest In: A New Year, A Fit You

At the forefront of many people’s resolutions lists, one is sure to find something regarding the words, “healthy, fit, gym, eat well.”   Every year-end, we’re bogged down with holiday foods – rich main dishes, loads of carbs, sweets galore.  It’s no wonder we come out of last year in an insulin haze, pushing ourselves Related posts:

New Year, New Focus

You all may remember my stance on resolutions – setting one huge long term goal (or many long term goals) doesn’t realistically lend to achieving those goals.  Last year when I really dived into this whole blogging thing I set a primary focus for the year and had little weekly resolutions instead.  The weekly resolutions Related posts:

Best of 2009

Each New Year’s Eve, many of us look back upon the last year and say “this is what I still need to accomplish,” and sometimes, “I achieved these resolutions.”  It’s often a last minute thing, and it doesn’t really give you a good incentive to look back on what worked this year, and what was Related posts:

Discoveries

I’ve been flipping through Barbara Sher’s Wishcraft, since I’d heard about the book from Hayden, of Through the Illusion.   The point of Wishcraft is for the reader to discover who they truly are, where they truly want to be, and how to get there.   Last night, I stumbled upon a fun little exercise that Related posts:

The Power of a Dollar Figure

People economize to get as much value as possible out of the resources they have. We all change our behavior to “take advantage” of price changes on items we want. Retailers recognize this long-standing accommodation and have come prepared.  And so has Ellen Rupel Shell, an author who has studied the discount dollar Related posts:
