It’s finally starting to get cooler here in New York. It’s time to bring out the sweatshirts and sweaters. I’d like to be more intentional as the season changes. Care to join me? Let’s create some weekly lists. I’ll go first.

I’m not sure why, but I’ve been a little out of focus lately. I am a person who values productivity. However, I need to also value rest. So before I take a nap, let me do a little reflection and create my weekly lists. If you want to join me, the comment section is always open. Let’s go!

As I take a pause and look out the window, I really don’t know what time it is. I mean it’s the middle of the day, but the sky is dark and I’m hit with a cool breeze that feels like rain.

I’ve had thoughts lately about things falling apart. Sure, I may have a mild case of plantar fasciitis and my stomach has been bothering me and let’s not get into the hot flashes. But are things falling apart? No, not really.

It’s been a long few days, and I’m tired. I’ve been a little more negative than usual, so taking a moment to reflect on the positive has been a challenge. But I’m proud to say I’m pushing through the negativity. It did take a while, but I did find some positivity. Here are my weekly gratitudes, celebrations and desires.

So, I bought an apartment! Welcome home, you may say. However I purchased my co-op in the beginning of 2019 and after a lengthy renovation process, I moved in at the very end of that year. And now OVER two years later, or over FOUR years from purchase I finally got my Letter of Completion from the city yesterday. Welcome home, indeed!

I know that the phrase, “there aren’t enough hours in the day” is commonly used. However, I’m here to tell you that there is plenty of time! On a daily basis, we need to work smarter and not harder. And if we lift our heads up from our screens, we can get a lot done.
