Happy Sunday Slow Down Society!!

this is the 15th 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.

I hope you are all doing well.

Have you ever had one of those weeks where you can't even remember what you did -- but you must have done a lot but none of it feels noteworthy yet you are supery dupery tired so you really MUST have done a lot?

yeah. me too. this was evidently one of those weeks.

I started the week off with a mammogram (always super fun!) -- and it looks like everything is a-okay in that department -- which is good to know.

Omicron continues to dominate my day job at school. It's starting to taper off in our immediate area but there are still staff members and kids out. I continue to test negative, and each time I get a text message that states my results are available I get a teensy bit nauseous.

Sheldon "graduated" from Level 1 Companion Dog Training this week --- I was so proud of him!

He needed to maintain a "stay" command for a good amount of time while other dogs walked around him and there were squeaky toys, and other super distracting tests.

He got rewarded with a ham bone "diploma" when we got home and then Adam and I immediately ditched him and the kids for a date night pizza to watch the sunset on the bay.

Also? we got a treadmill this week and set it up in the garage.

Stop Delaying Happiness.

This article went live on the blog this week -- and if you find that you are waiting to reach a certain milestone or for the stars to align in the most perfect way ever to celebrate your wins or give yourself a pat on the back -- then this writing will give you permission to just Go For It already.

Be happy. Don't delay it. You deserve to feel happy and at peace right now, right this very second.

The newest episode of the Slow Living podcast is out and it is all about money.

Some people think it's not polite to talk about money in mixed company -- but the good news is, I like you people.

and I consider you my friends.

I've been working for myself in some capacity or another since 2006 and I've been in the online space since 2008.

A lot of the advice you hear online is utter nonsense.

In this episode you will hear what I REALLY think about money, wealth, flashiness, and what numbers are important to pay attention to and what you can dismiss as vanity.

Take a listen in your favorite podcast app, or online

The A Year of Slow Cooking website was featured in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel this week -- I was interviewed about the top 10 recipes from Wisconsin that you can make in a slow cooker.

The journalist, Alysha, and I really hit it off and we chatted for over an hour. She recipe-tested all of the included recipes herself and liked them!

I also put together a short video "commercial" and posted it on social media.

This is what the caption read:

If you're tired of being tired, and if you feel like there *must be* an easier way to keep "all the balls in the air" -- without losing yourself or your sanity -- then this masterclass is for you.
