Last week:
Run 3X [2X due to rain]
Finish written materials for herbal immunity kit [YES]
Print out mushroom risotto recipe for gifts [YES]
Make spy kit for son [NO]
Make American Girl camping kit for daughter [NO]
Make ornament for party [YES]
Meditation + intention journal (even just 1X!) [1X]
I did the mindfulness meditation at 6 am one morning with candles and incense and it was such a nice way to start the day. Did some journaling afterward. I’m ultimately aiming for more than 1X a week, but just trying to get myself hooked on it right now… Creative endeavors are all Christmas-related – gotta get crackin’!!!
This week:
Run 3X
Fill bottles and assemble herbal immunity kit
Make spy kit for son
Make American Girl camping kit for daughter
Make stuffed animal for niece
Ready christmas packages that need to be shipped
Meditation + intention journal (1X)

last week, blogged every day except one, made christmas ornaments, finished a painting ….
this week, blog every day, finish christmas ornaments for friends and neighbors, deliver commissioned painting, paint on tuesday …..
This week I am getting back to an early wakeup. While my husband was away, I drifted off of my usual routine and have been seriously missing the benefit of early morning practice. Last night I set my intention to wake up early, and amazingly, I woke up on my own at 4:50 and was ready to start the day! Everything is so much better when I take care of those important things — meditating, journaling, reading Rumi, planning the day — before it’s time to ramp up into action.
Last week’s goals:
* CCA homework for one class plus reading plus supervised coaching [yes]
* Finish handmade ornament for this weekend’s holiday party [yes]
* Journaling [yes]
* Christmas preparations [yes]
* Yoga or run x2 [amazingly, x4!]
* 187,879 other things (!!)
This week’s goals:
* CCA homework for one class plus reading plus supervised coaching [Th]
* Finish handmade gifts
* Journaling [daily target]
* Christmas preparations
* Yoga or run x3
* Mega work sessions with Ellen for our new venture: Open Studio at 30B Hollis Street in Groton!!!!! (Details soon)
oh my goodness, i thought i posted on monday!
since my last post, did manage to squeeze in one edit session with my writing group on tuesday, if it weren’t for our writing days, i would never open the manuscript these days.
maybe when my boys are gone for break, i may be able to finish the thing in a couple of committed days. now to commit to them, but that is next week.
otherwise, holiday mayhem, new job, and taking care of the bullying situation and #2’s school has reached a climax. it’s all flying down the rollercoaster to new year from here. and a little blogging.
actually, week after next…see what i mean? lol
