Happy Sunday Slow Down Society!!

this is the 13th edition of the Sunday Slow Down -- which is a weekly recap of things that have been happening in my world -- both online and in real life.

This past week was my first week back at work after being off for two weeks (I work as a school site secretary at an elementary school).

And I didn't like it. This was a doozy of a week.

Omicron is not fun.

Parents are stressed, teachers are stressed, and the kids are stressed ---

I spent an awful lot of time on the phone trying to keep people calm.

Wherever you are, I hope you are okay.

My youngest daughter turned 12 this week -- and for some of you on my list, you have been here, reading, since before she was born.

This means we must be in some sort of weird time and space continuum because I can not for the life of me tell you where the past 12 years has gone.

She asked for Taco Soup on her birthday -- so that's what we had, along with strawberry shortcake that she made herself.

I probably make Taco Soup about once a month -- it is still a hit after all these years and makes a ton. We usually spoon the leftovers over baked potatoes or on top of nachos.

I did a lot of coaching this week, also. Because of the New Year, many of the women I work with are "scrambling" to get their new year's resolutions in place.

My advice to them, and to you -- is to stop "scrambling." Nobody is behind. Life isn't meant to race through ---

take it easy. take it slow. It's all going to be okay.

I share all of my thoughts in this week's Slow Living podcast episode.

I, personally, LOVE New Year's and New Weeks and New Months and New Days.

I like making little challenges for myself here and there when I think of them ---

but goals and resolutions and new and interesting challenges are supposed to BE FUN.

not a punishment.

In this episode you will:

🎉 receive a permission slip to put your OWN needs/wants/desires first and foremost --- even if you've got young kids in the house or a demanding job

🎉 learn what it means to PROM (declutter) old beliefs and self-doubt

🎉 hear my advice to Sarah, who called in asking how to get her health goals to stick, once and for all, so she can discontinue or modify her current medication

🎉 get an invitation to a free coaching call

🎉 learn how to "habit stack" and the importance of 30 day short term goals

I hope you can get a bit of inspiration out of this episode and that this new calendar year brings you all of the things that you've always wished for in life.

Take a listen in your favorite podcast app, or online.

Okay! That is it for me for this Sunday.

Consider yourself loved and hugged.
I think you're wonderful.
