Gratituesday 1.30.18 - Like it or Not!
For those that read these Weekly Lists on the regular, it should come as no surprise that keeping my kitchen clean is a challenge. After the amazing mess made by the burst pipe and clog, the universe made it clear that I had to start cleaning my kitchen. Luckily the caulking of the backsplash eliminated the bugs. However, I now have a little furry friend who's made my kitchen his new home.
Gratituesday 1.23.18 - Coffee Scrub Recipe
Ready for a public service announcement? You should NOT put coffee grounds down the sink. I guess I threw them out when I used a coffee maker and an stove top espresso maker. However since I've used a French press, I've washed them down the sink with a ton of water. Yeah, don't do that.
Gratituesday 1.16.18 - Creating Rituals
Last month, I did a bit of research on creating rituals. As someone who tends to procrastinate, I thought it would be a good idea to have a daily habit to jump start the day. I had a brief stint doing the Ayurvedic morning routine, but it was a little too much for me.
Gratituesday 1.9.18 - Get Up & Go!
The weather this week around the country has been brutal. Super cold, snowy and windy. Luckily I primarily work from home so I was able to stay warm inside without too much trouble. My cat, Maxie is happy to use me as his personal heater and to be honest, it's nice to have him purring on my lap as I binge-watch 'The Crown' and 'The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.'
Gratituesday 1.2.18 - Going Within
Hey folks, welcome to the first Gratituesday of 2018! I was away on vacation last week. Instead of trying to figure out how to create and post my Weekly Lists from my phone, I decided to skip a week. I was in the Bahamas where it was sunny and warm. Now that I'm back in New York with temps below freezing for the next week, I am consciously hibernating.
Gratituesday 12.19.17 - Dreaming Big!
Today was a Day of Wonder! Jennifer Zwiebel of A Place of Joy, lead a workshop here in Manhattan that focused on her "Big Wish" tool. It was a great gathering of folks that have big goals and need assistance breaking them down into actionable pieces. I really didn't know what I wanted to focus on when I started today.
Gratituesday 12.12.17 - Goals & Progress
I started my Weekly Lists yesterday morning, but didn't get too far as I had to leave for a meeting and a wedding. And then I completely forgot to post before bed. A few hours late, but just as important!
Gratitudesday 12.5.17 - Finishing strong!
I really cannot believe it's December. It was 60 degrees here in NYC today so it certainly didn't feel like it. Thanks, Climate Change! I definitely feel the end of year pull to finish strong.
Gratituesday 11.28.17
It's been a long day and it's nice to reflect on the week with a nice glass of red wine. It was a rather quiet week, but I did a bit of networking, consulted with some new wedding couples and caught up on all of my TV shows and practiced yoga 5 times this week. Surprisingly enough as I type, I have the window open and the block is rather quiet. Very peaceful. Hopefully I'll sleep well tonight. Better yet, I hope that Maxie sleeps well tonight, so I can, too!
Gratituesday 11.21.17 - Tired Eyes
I had such plans for today. As I sit and reflect and write out my Weekly Lists, all I want to do is take a NAP! I met my friend Jen for lunch on the Upper West Side and since it was such a gorgeous day today, I decided to walk.
Gratituesday 11.14.17 - Building Community
I'm currently sitting in the middle of 501 Union in Brooklyn at the co-working space created for Love Union, a gathering of mostly wedding pros to collaborate, network and create and build community.
Gratituesday 10.31.17 - Halloween & Changes in Space
Happy Halloween, y'all! Since I've had a huge headache all day, I'm going low key for All Hallows Eve! However, I did do some errands in the neighborhood today and had fun seeing the local kids and their families. Some fun costumes and some lame ones, but more importantly these kids had LOOT!
Gratituesday 10.24.17
Hey look, it's Tuesday and I have time to reflect and actually remembered to post my Weekly Lists. I am trying to keep moving forward and not procrastinate, but it's not easy. Gosh, I am so good at holding others accountable, but it's hard to do for myself! As I suggest to my couples, I will start scheduling the things I need to accomplish and set alarms to remind me to complete them. Here's to productivity and following through. Off we go!
Gratituesday 10.10.17 - Back in the Saddle!
It's been a few weeks since I've posted my weekly lists. Tuesdays have come and gone and I just didn't feel like sharing on another day. In fact I had a "sad" day on Sunday and I have not had one of those in a while. Now that I'm out of my funk, I need to focus on the great things. So I've decided to start with the Celebrations! Care to join me?
Gratituesday 9.19.17 - Healthy & Happy
Last week was a busy one. Early morning catering with networking meetings and a wedding & a counseling session. Plus Maxie decided to put a wrench in things and stop pooping and then stop eating. It's not good, folks and I am trying not to freak out.
Gratituesday 9.5.17 - Hello September
I started writing this post yesterday, but didn't complete until today. I'm keeping the Gratituesday on a Wednesday anyway, thank you very much!I have a hard time believing it's September. Where the heck has the year gone?
