Vacation begins

Thursday, June 9th, 2016

I survived the final week of work prior to vacation. I tried to follow my survival guide the best that I could. I even went to bed last night at 8 pm, so that I could be at my office at 6 am and have a good nights sleep beforehand. It worked! I was able to get everything tied up, put away, or handed off for someone to handle while I'm away - because this vacation will be strictly vacation - no work!

So this post is sporadic thoughts I wanted to mention, forgive me if it doesn't flow.

My daughter, son & I are flying to Paris tomorrow. My son is actually going for work, but will be spending a little time with us before he heads to his work apartment. He's also staying in Europe for another month after we leave, to do some traveling.

I won't be around to post anything for the next 12 days, but I will do my best to post the week after we get back. If you're interested in seeing posts about my trip, you can follow me on;

I am thrilled to be taking this trip with my daughter. We are super close so this is an amazing journey for us to go on and will be a great memory for both of us when she moves into her own life in the next couple of years. She's 21 now, but thankfully in no hurry to leave home while she's in college.

Of course, I've had people comment to me about the dangers of going to Europe at this time, and fortunately for me I'm not a worrier. One gift I have is complete faith. I always know that I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be at all times and that things will be exactly the way they should be. When my day comes, I can't hide from God, nor do I want to. In the meantime, I will enjoy this life.

I will be on vacation for my birthday. My daughter and son are excited to spend my birthday with me in Paris. Unfortunately that means my husband, who is staying home will miss it, but he gave me my gifts today - one of which was a new Fitbit Alta. I am loving it already. I wanted the new one because it's so much cuter than my old one, as it looks more like a bracelet. I can't wait to track my steps all over France.




Au revoir.

It's really ok to take a break

Sometimes when you're not motivated it's because your literraly burnt out. And that's ok. When you've been doing too much for too long, it's ok to take a break. However, before you start that break, write down some of the things you're going to do after the break.. This helps to keep the things you want to do at the top of your mind without feeling guilty that you're taking a break. So what do I mean by taking a break? It can be ... in any form you desire and/or can afford. We'd all love our break to be a long vacation to someplace we really want to go, but it can be as simple as taking a walk or even spending an entire weekend binge-watching your favorite shows. Just make sure it's a plan and that you know when you've had you're break, you're going to start on that "thing" you've been putting off. MW Copyright 2017

Re-evaluating Social Media in my life

What is the purpose of social media in your life? This is the question I've been pondering for a while now. What do each of these outlets bring to me, give to me, or help me with? Facebook Twitter Instagram Snap Chat Pinterest  LinkedIn Alignable  So many people say they're using social media for their business, while others say you have to be using social media for your business. I believe that's true in some businesses - especially if you're selling a product like t shirts, jewelry, weight loss plans, or other tangible items. But, I'm not sure which really help in the service and intangible industries. With that said, I'm an insurance agent. I sell a piece of paper that gives you piece of mind and aggravation because you are obligated to buy it. Is anyone really interested in reading blogs or articles about insurance? Even insurance humor is mainly funny to insurance people. So where does that leave me with my posts? I have used it in a mostly pers...

Make it a priority to get a good night's sleep!

When there are days/weeks/months/years that you have all of these plans and things you want/need to get done, sleep is usually one of the first things to go.

And before we know it, our bodies have gotten used to 4 or 5 hours of sleep a night. Try to get 7-8 hours of sleep and you'll find that you are more focused and productive during the day. You're mind is sharper, it's easier to stay on task and you'll get more accomplished. If you have trouble falling asleep, there are many things you can do to help you with that.
