How I did it
How to get back into my little black dress(es)
It took me
8 months
It made me
ecstatic!

How I did it: I dieted, exercised, took up running again and committed myself to my goal.  I wrote out my goals and reviewed them.My motto is, "Don't sacrifice what you want NOW for what you want MOST.'  Read how I did it…

How to write letters
It took me
3 months
It made me

How I did it: Made a conscious effort to write notes each week.  Made notations in my planner to remind me to write and mail letters and bought new stationery and made new cards to use. Oh yeah, buying books of stamps to stash at home, in the car, at the office in my planner . . . that's made it so convenient to follow-up and actually mail the things I write. Read how I did it…

CASA Volunteer 2 months ago

While I don’t have the time or the energy or the HEART to devote time to helping children in need on a one-to-one basis, I do have time to do SOMETHING. Effectively immediately I will be writing the quarterly newsletter for our local CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates). There is a great need at this time for more info, more funds and a general increase in awareness about the needs of children who come through the legal system.

I’m excited about the prospects of using my writing skills for this worthy cause.

Gotta run . . . so much to do, so little time ;)

North Oconee River 2 months ago

Gotta love a hike down by the river w/your young son. Got a new pair of Timberlands in prep for my NEXT big hike and must break them in. Hike #1 in my LOVELY new boots . . . along the banks of the North Oconee River. So far I’ve done about 6 miles in them; so far so good. Stay tuned for news about next weekend’s trek. I can hardly WAIT!!!

5K portion 3 months ago

Thanks to an odd hip problem, I’m behind on my 5K goal. I’m still running (finally, after being benched by the doc for a month) but only 2 to 3 times per week. I’m working my way back to another 5K, slowly but surely. Growing old sux :)
