Motivational Monday #1 - The Safe Place I know a lot about my "Safe Place." I know it must be huge to hold all of the things I put there. I also know it must be secure because everything seems to stay safe. What I don't know is where it is.

Motivational Monday #2 - Upcoming Vacations - A Time To Prepare
Vacations, while usually fun, come with their own challenges. Their are bags to pack, items to get ready and schedules to shift. If you are planning to travel there are also documents to gather.

Motivational Monday #3 - We Are What We Eat I always hated it when people told me "You are what you eat." I have never been, nor do I ever intend to be a twinkie. (Just in case you wondered.) I have eaten so many weird things in my life and I haven't grown horns or turned green.

Motivational Monday #4 - Clear It Out I started to think about the things in my house I don't need but hold onto anyway. The more I thought about it the heavier I felt. I appear to have a ton more stuff than I need or even want.

Motivational Monday #5 - Remembering Those Who Fought For Us Discussion on the validity of war is not appropriate on a day we honor the sacrifices our armed forces have made. Our support or lack of support does not alter the importance of their actions.

Motivational Monday #6 - Your Garage is NOT the Trash Can Do you have a place in your home where you put items you never want to see again? For us, it is the garage. If I don't know what to do with an item, it goes in the garage. If I am in a hurry, it goes in the garage.

Motivational Monday #7 - Clean Your Bathroom I don't know anyone who craves cleaning their bathroom, but it is one of those things that just has to happen. Let me rephrase that, it doesn't have to happen but it should happen, and often.

Motivational Monday #8 - Get Out of Your Comfort Zone I am about to get rocket launched out of my comfort zone. You may actually see sparks flying off my body as I am launched into the atmosphere. I have to admit I am a little nervous. I am down right freaked about some of it.

Motivational Monday #9 - Don't Cry Over Spilled Milk Crying over spilled milk always confused me. As a child I could never figure out why anyone would cry over food. As an adult I realize the saying may have a deeper meaning.

Motivational Monday #10 - Change is Good, Just Ask Mother Earth Sit down and think about the things you are tired of. Maybe laundry is on your list, or maybe toilets. While you can't make those things go away, you can change how you tackle them.

Motivational Monday #11 - Create Sometimes the craziness of our lives puts us into a predicable rut. We have the same routine day in and day out. We follow the same paths and finish the same tasks.

Motivational Monday #12 - Waiting for the Storm Have you ever seen the clouds roll in, the wind start to pick up and the animals scurry? When I do, I know a storm is coming. I check to make sure the windows are closed, the toys are off the porch and the house is secure. Then I wait.

Motivational Monday #13 - Small Things Staying Small I think this world is made up of two things. (Well at least for the purposes of this blog.) There are the small things, and the big things.

Motivational Monday #14 - The Bottom of the Cliff Being prepared is one of those things we know we should do, but don't. Starting on the road to preparedness is like being at the bottom of a cliff, staring straight up. It is overwhelming and scary.

Motivational Monday #15 - Finding Happiness "Happiness is the consequence of personal effort." I have been reading "Eat Pray Love" by Elizabeth Gilbert and that sentence stopped me in my tracks. It made me think and it made me squirm a little.

Motivational Monday #16 - Climb Every Mountain Over the weekend we took the kids to a not-so-local state park to commune with nature. Now I hurt. Yes, it is true, I ache in places I forgot I had.

Motivational Monday #17 - Little Moments Make Memories Memories are a strange thing. It is hard to set out to make a memory. You can try, and maybe succeed, but chances are the memories slip in unexpectedly.

Motivational Monday #18 - Make the Time How often have you said to yourself, "I wish I could: read more; spend more time with my friends; learn a new language; take a class; learn a new skill; travel to Europe; hike that mountain; or volunteer, but I just don't have the time?"
