Looking for My Groove

Can a mid-life crisis strike at any age?

From personal experience, I’m going to have to say yes because I’ve felt like I’ve been in the middle of one for months now…sigh.

Growing up is hard isn’t it?!

Since before I started this blog, I felt like I had finally found my path…but lately I’ve felt like I’m way off course and struggling to find my way back.

Recently it’s gotten even tougher and I haven’t felt like writing much and I wanted to share the reason why I’ve been so absent lately.

I have lots of blog ideas though, so I plan to write when I can…but for now I have to focus on getting my groove back.

Is It Friday Yet??

This week has been so busy, I can’t believe it’s only Wednesday!

And admittedly, that hasn’t left me time to blog properly as I had anticipated…sigh.

But I did just make a list of great ideas for upcoming posts and hopefully I can get to at least one of them this week – cross my fingers, ha!

In the meantime, it is back to work for me! I’ve been making amazing progress with Live Love Life Now™ and am working furiously to get the Etsy store open soon.

I can’t wait to share it with all of you!!

Parking Fail

You know you’ve been working too hard when you park on the wrong floor of the parking garage at the end of a long day at the office!

The 1st red flag was finding a prime parking spot open.

The 2nd red flag was seeing my neighbor’s car continue past me after I parked.

The 3rd red flag was seeing a third floor sign where a fourth floor sign should have been.

Hmm...I think a little extra sleep tonight may be in order!

Is It Just Me or Was It ‘One of Those’ Days Today?

I’m taking a quick break from my New Year posts to ask the question…”What the hell happened today?”

Instead of being excited that it was already Thursday and I was almost caught up at work, I spent most of the day lethargic, forlorn, unmotivated and slightly depressed.

Perhaps it was the bizarre dreams of Wednesday night, but I woke up feeling off this morning and then spent the better part of the day obsessing about the direction of my life…and other things equally out of my control.

So thank goodness for my sister who talked me through the toughest part of the afternoon and encouraged me to take the night off and just relax once I got home.

Heeding her advice, I took a long hot bath after dinner and immediately started feeling better. Seriously, is there nothing that a good soak in the bathtub can’t cure?

While this journey that I’m on can get pretty bumpy at times, someone wise once told me that the more discomfort you feel about a situation means the closer you are to making the necessary change.

I like that.

Deadlines are my Friends

Okay, so my genius solution to making sure I don’t slack off for another year is to start this blog. I’m a person that needs to have deadlines in order to accomplish most anything and having a blog to maintain is going to set those deadlines for me. And in it, I’m going to prove to myself that I can achieve my goals - thereby killing procrastination! (more on saving the world later)

You see, Live Love Life Now ®* is not only my mantra but also the name of my business. I’ve wasted too much time stuck in a monotonous routine of work, eating and sleeping and not enough time LIVING in the NOW. And I know I’m not alone.

I’m done with procrastinating my life away, how about you?

* By the way, you’re the first one outside of my family to know about my company. And while I’m sure that you’re nice and trustworthy and whatnot, I have taken steps to protect the name…so don’t even think about it!
