How I did it
How to start a birthday list for my fellow 43T compadres: please add yours!
It took me
3 years
It made me
happy NOT to do it

How I did it: Birthdays are infinite --- every human being has one! There are many good human beings whose births deserve celebrating, but it's not up to me, not the best and highest use of my time, to archive this. Impossible anyway! Read how I did it…

How to set routine in place that make departures, esp. the day before travel, smooth and orderly, replacing the current pattern of Frenetic,Too-Much-To-Do Countdown.
It took me
50 years
It made me
amazed, happy

How I did it: After years of getting whacked and overwhelmed with pre-departure details, I finally, had some deep level, profoundly, truly, HAD ENOUGH. I had a recent trip that was a working vacation --- more vacation than work. I was greatly looking forward to it and I thought: "this time, really no-kidding, I'm doing this differently. I am going to leave in a relaxed way." And I began the detailed minutiae of packing two weeks in advance. (This also … Read how I did it…

Less energy wasted in self-excoriation means more to use to actually do something, incremental or otherwise. Joy!

get out of debt and into financial well-being, one choice at a time --- creating a life where my money works for me, not the other way around (read all 16 entries…)
continued progress 5 months ago

No credit card use for a year! (Only AMEX, which you pay off monthly). Paying off old credit cards with Consumer Credit Counseling Service, a terrific and highly recommended program. Took a financial literacy course, too. And saving.

A long way to go, but I am SO much more on the road than ever before in my life. Still areas where I know I’m shutting my eyes, but more light and clear-seeing in this formerly wholly dark corner thnan ever before. Yay! Amazing!

Do Yoga at least 3x a Week (read all 59 entries…)
On hold with this one but plan to return 5 months ago

Shoulder surgery (rotator cuff repair, December 08) means no Downward Dogs for awhile. But I’m PT’ing and I WILL return!
