Today’s Challenge: When you complete a task, CELEBRATE!

Finally, after several rewrites, I finished my manuscript. Yay! Yesterday, after handing the book over to my publisher, I felt a little off–not happy, not sad, just different. So I’ve decided that I should celebrate. Typically, I’d run errands, catch up on neglected projects or start my next book, but today I’m going to do something good for me. Maybe a massage… Maybe an outing with friends… Maybe a trip to an art gallery…  All I know for sure is that I’m going to get out of my office! I’m excited! 🙂

How do you celebrate after you achieve a goal?

Have a great weekend! 🙂

This weekend I’m going to catch up with my favorite bloggers. I’ve been super busy the last few days working on my manuscript. I’m hoping we go to press next week. Yay! 🙂

#JUMP! Sometimes We Just Have to JUMP!

Today’s Challenge: JUMP! Sometimes we just have to JUMP!

Timing isn’t always ideal. Our ducks aren’t always perfectly aligned. And for me, I could edit my manuscript forever. But sometimes we just have to take that leap of faith and take our opportunities when they are presented. When we JUMP out of our comfort zone, we are taking incredible risks that not only fill us with feelings of accomplishment but also boost our self-esteem. Taking chances is what living is all about! So get out there and JUMP for something you want! 🙂

Get Ready for #Spring!

Today’s Challenge: Get ready for spring! 🙂

For me this means spring cleaning and yard work. I’m more excited for the yard work–I’m ready to get outside.

Yesterday, I started pulling some weeds in my rock garden and rearranging a few stepping-stones. I even moved my outdoor furniture from the garage to my patio, even though we’ll probably get at least one more snowstorm–I couldn’t resist. If it snows, I’ll bring the cushions inside. 🙂

Being outside was wonderful. My pug and I enjoyed the fresh air and sunshine as I made plans for my rock garden and yard. I think we’ll do more of the same today and this weekend.

Have a great weekend! 🙂
