Busy Is A Thief

Last weekend, I was going through some old notebooks. I have lots of them full of notes from books, radio programs, business conferences, retreats and random thoughts from the last 6 or 7 years! In a notebook from 2007, I found notes that I took while reading “I Dare You” by Joyce Meyer. Here is [...]

Part of my morning routine is to check my email and if it is a Monday, Wednesday or Friday, I check to make sure the Overcoming Busy post is up. This morning, there was no new post. “Hmmm…thats strange.” In my mind, I had typed out and scheduled today’s post last weekend. At this point, [...]

I often think of my grandmothers. Farm wives who took care of their home and family and anyone else in need. They worked from sunrise until after sunset cleaning, cooking, gardening, ironing everything, babysitting, baking from scratch, quilting, sewing, mending and a million other things I never even noticed. These women accomplished so much [...]
The Last Days Of Summer Are Upon Us

As the back to school ads roll out, the kids’ baseball and softball seasons come to a close and the corn here in the midwest is as tall as the sky, I can feel summer slipping away. I wait all year long for these few months of heat and humidity, of barefeet and tank tops, [...]

One of the key signs of being too busy is stress. Stress can cause moodiness, a cloudy mind, weigh gain/loss, fatigue…all sorts of negative. As moms, we can’t afford to be stressed. There are too many people depending on us. That is one of the reasons I try so hard to keep the busy out [...]

Am I a wife and mom who blogs or a blogger who is a wife and mom? It looks ridiculous when I see it in black and white. I’m a wife and mama first and foremost!! Why did I even ask the question? In the quest to overcome busy, I ask myself those kinds of [...]
