Jewelry is my weakness. If I had to choose between buying food or a beautiful piece of jewelry, I’d choose the jewelry. Someone would feed me, right?!? Its hard for me to pass up a good deal on sparkly things! I get mesmerized by the sparkle and shine. My collection of jewelry is not huge, [...]

In yesterday’s post, I talked about procrastination – putting things off. This has been a major challenge all my life. I can waste time with the best of them! Procrastination doesn’t have much of a hold on me if I have goals and a plan. Using a planner and to-do lists are great ways to [...]
