Plan Your Tomorrow, Do It Today
Don't let your emotions wildly change your course of action. Right? Like, if I wake up in a confused and shitty ass mood, should I let it define my day? Can I get a "Hell No"?
I mean, yes, emotions are important. Taking time for yourself is important. But for right now, bear with me. Forward motion is important and achieving the goals you set for yourself is important.
So don't let your day get all caught up in your shit. (Click HERE to Tweet)
At least not when you've got business to attend to!
Before you leave the office/stop working/ go to sleep make a list of three things that ABSOLUTELY MUST GET DONE TOMORROW. Leave the list when you'll see it right when you settle in. Whenever and wherever this is. (If you don't have this place/time, you should probably deal with that too.)
When you arrive at the moment of doingstuff-ness, do the things on your list.
Like, before you check your email, or open up three thousand browser windows, or read this post.
Then if you fuck off for the rest of the day, well, so what. (Click HERE to Tweet)
I mean, not that I am giving you permission. But...
The moral here that if you wait till morning, till you are "ready" to work, then you will have to spend too much delicious working time deciding what to work on. If you have predetermined what needs your attention, then you are freed from that decision. You are free to actually begin your day, rather than just consider beginning your day. Action, babes.
You also have some super sweet forward motion, like, on a daily basis.
Attainable goals, we got you, bitches. (Click HERE to Tweet)

People Making Pasta in My Artless Kitchen
Artless kitchen because we are MOVING and everything is in boxes (almost).
Pasta because Chris' brother is here making Spaetzle. Like macaroni and cheese, only better.
And I am warning you,
I am FEELING LOST.
Artless kitchen because we are MOVING and everything is in boxes (almost).
Pasta because Chris' brother is here making Spaetzle. Like macaroni and cheese, only better. And anything with cheese always makes me happy.
And I am warning you,
I am FEELING LOST.
I seem to have forgotten, until today, just how sad moving makes me. I walk around despairing the loss of views through windows, the squeaks of doors and floorboards, the feeling of a door handle in the dark, the shape of the ceiling fan's shadows. I feel heartbroken and mournful. Like leaving a lover, like death, like change.
I know it's like passing from maiden to mother, from mother to crone. I know it's like leaving a job and clearing your desk and cutting your hair. I know it's the jacket that got left in the nightclub, the tattoo drawn but never inked.
Loss. Emptiness. Abandon.
So, I'll hold my babies close, look out this window for the last time, and feel the ground beneath my feet.
Change and challenge. Prevail.

Moving Life
I know I am not the only one who loves moving. But I really do. I've been getting rid of stuff lately and now I am so excited to pare down even more and pack up.
We were approved for our loan (our third, ohmygod) to buy the new blue house! And we close (I think) in about two weeks.
Now on the agenda:
I know I am not the only one who loves moving. But I really do. I've been getting rid of stuff lately and now I am so excited to pare down even more and pack up.
We were approved for our loan (our third, ohmygod) to buy the new blue house! And we close (I think) in less than ten days.
Now on the agenda:
- Packing. (Yippee Yeah YEAH Yahoo!)
- Fixing up our current place. Want to come paint window trim for us? Also, patching walls, cleaning, primping, making gorgeous.
- Trying to rent our current apt. See listing HERE. And please, pass it around.
- Taking care of two kids, running a few businesses, and wait, doing this all in the next two weeks!
- Is there something I am missing? Like dreaming about stuff for the new house on etsy?
- Oh, right, taking off the trim in the laundry room to get the washer out, switching the plug back to a euro to put in a different washer/dryer, getting the mason to come and re-tile the shower....crap! Go, team, go!
And now, because you always look for this:
Mindfulness in Moving
Things to notice as you go:
- SPACE. Stop. Breathe it it, feel it around you.
- STUFF. See your attachments. Note them & move gently along.
- DECISIONS. Yes, we all make them. Trust yourself deeply.
- TIME. Things change. We are always IN FLUX. Breathe again. Accept.
- CALM. Even in the most harrowed moments, there are other moments within.
