So the my celebrating life day has come and gone and this particular day was incredibly celebratory for me because it is the beginning of a new life for me. Tomorrow is my official last day at the place I worked for most of my late 20s. Next week I once again start classes and become [...]

Chanda joked this morning that maybe I should blog again and I know it has been awhile. Life took over and needless to say blogging went to the bottom of my list. But here we are. It has been 6 months since we began our journey and my 30 weeks are coming to an end. [...]

So far I have forgotten twice to plan anything significant for my Celebrating Life day. It is turning into Celebrating “Happy Hour” day. It is always around 2:00 pm on the 28th that it hits me that it is my Celebrating Life day and I just head to a close restaurant to take advantage of their [...]

I have made less progress on decluttering than I thought I would at this point. I need to focus on my personal clutter and instead have managed to only make progress in areas of work.
I got my work emails down to zero before the end of last month and last night threw away, shredded, and [...]

Well, there are several items on my list that I’m just not mastering. Like the exercise 3 times a week - that aint happening. I’ve got to get on the wagon and roll with that one. I need to find something that I enjoy doing otherwise it’s not going to happen.

My office culture is more of a grab something, work at your desk kinda place. A group of my work colleagues and I try to go out for a nice sit down lunch a few times a year. We started this tradition by going to Washington DC Restaurant Week and trying a new restaurant near our [...]

I had lunch today with a friend I have known since I was five years old. We met at Junior Academy (a daycare and afterschool center) and spent many a day chatting over the afternoon snack. 25 years later, life has brought us full circle as we spent a part of our day chatting over an afternoon [...]

Item #8 on my 30 Weeks List is to write 30 orders for FCS Creations. I’m proud to report that I’ve written three of those orders and I only have 27 more to go.
I thought it would be fun to post a sample of each of the orders to keep a record of my journey [...]

So I have lost the first three pounds of my 30. This was extremely surprising since I have eaten at least one mint chocolate Oreo cookie each day this week ( and three on Saturday). But I did make several other changes to my lifestyle since making this decision to lose some weight. I drink [...]
