How I did it
It made me
lighter 
How I did it: Purging and processing gets easier with practice. Julia Cameron (Artist's Way) made an impact on me, writing about discarding and refining...it's evolving into a lifelong process, with cycles and seasons. Read how I did it…
It made me
Happy 
How I did it: They were listed in a water-wise booklet, recommending flowers for the area. Mexican Primrose is a beautiful, light pink, prolific, smiling flower that loves this climate. Looking forward to having them in my landscape.Also discovered 2 new varieties of drought tolerant wildflowers; saltillo primrose and green santolina. Read how I did it…
It made me
stronger
How I did it: Actively working on it, some days are better than others. Who knows what the future holds, but this experience is enriching my life every day. It is not easy, sometimes difficult. Yoga helps, balance, structure and holding a difficult pose, learning that we can do more than we believe possible. Read how I did it…

Deal with business matters with a focused, linear mindset. Look squarely at the unpleasant details, being very determined but also politically correct. Advance my objectives because I need to take care of me. (read all 2 entries…)
