No is NOT a Bad Word

Sometimes it's ok to say no.  Whether it is based on our beliefs, feelings, thoughts, or just because we want to say no.  It's one of the best things about growing up - being able to make our own decisions.  We are not going to always choose the right answer, but we are going to choose the one that is right for us at the time we decide.  

 At this time I have decided to say NO to one of my own goals.  I thought it was right when I planned it, but the more I try to accomplish it the harder it is for me to enjoy the time I have at home.

 The goal was to complete 31 Days to a Martha House, The Mary Way.  While the eBook is laid out well, has a great flow, and is probably amazingly helpful for some people - it is just not working for me.

I find the tasks overwhelming for me.  Today's task was to clean out all of my cupboards.  Do you know how many cupboards I have, AND what they look like?!  

Remember just my pantry....

It would take me a week to clean out all of my cupboards and organize them, and they want me to do this in just 1 day, after work?  It's not happening.

 I am not saying that I will not one day complete 31 Days...  I am just saying that it is not going to happen right now, and I do not feel guilty about it at all!  It was a dream, a far fetched one at that, and I will continue to strive for a cleaner home, and cleaner cupboards, but not in such big pieces.

 What is one thing you set out to do before you realized that it just wasn't right for you at this point in your life?

YouData.com

Looking for a quick, easy way to make some extra money?  Check out YouData. It is not a huge money maker, but the pennies add up with time, and it is always nice to see a few extra cents get added into the budget, for something that you normally do on a daily basis...look at ads and watch commercials! Here is a copy of my referral email if you would like to join under my account (which I would be grateful for), or you can always visit the site on your own to sign up! I found something that I think you will like. The company's name is YouData ( youdata.com ). They are trying to convince consumers like us that we should be the ones controlling our own data and selling our own attention, not third parties like broadcasters, newspapers, and spammers. By creating a MeFile at YouData.com, I now control what ads I see and when I see them. Best part - I am selling my attention directly to interested advertisers, for real money. That's right, I get paid fo...

A Week of Golf

In 2017 my team was tasked with exciting job of catering to the LPGA Marathon Classic for their week long golf tournament here in town.  We had less then 4 months to prepare, and we had never done anything on such a large scale before.  It was both exhilarating and terrifying, especially for an Enneagram 6 like me.  We are loyal and committed, but our biggest needs are security, and we fear not having the support and guidance needed.  What a way to walk into a task like this.   I was suddenly tasked with finding organizations to fill close to 200 shifts for concession stands, as well as around 75 employees to help me make this event a reality.  It took a lot of time, planning, questions, stress, and a roller coaster of emotions, but we did it!  It was amazing the feeling that you have after you accomplish something like that. Since then we have continued to receive this job each July, and each year has gotten a little easier.  We have ha...
