Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve posted here. O.k., here’s where I am at this point. Giving my notice to work next week (eek!) and leaving mid May. I bumped up my departure date because my subleaser, yes I found a great one!, needs to move in May 17th. So, it’s off to Eric’s (my brother) [...]

1.) That I never want to come back to this job. (I recently entertained thoughts of taking a leave of absence, asking for employment here when I return, being afraid of what will happen in this economy, etc. and realized: No.)
2.) That it’s ok to be occasionally moody and express my emotions more. I am [...]

Don’t you love this photo? It’s so whimsical. I used a cropped version of it on Fresh New Life but I really love the full version as well.
So my departure date is getting closer. I’m getting both excited and nervous. It occurred to me that I should start planning a little bit. [...]

I just launched my new site, www.freshnewlife.com. It focuses on personal growth through travel and I will be writing a few times a week. I’m very excited! It’s been in the works for a while and I have finally taken the leap. Now that I’ve posted my first article, I have tons of ideas coming [...]

It is official: I am simply not an office person. Up through today, I have felt like a caged animal in every office I’ve ever worked in. I think I could possibly enjoy the Google offices, but since that is not likely to happen any time soon or ever, I’ve decided I must work in [...]
Read More..>>The Paradox of Choice
Posted on November 3, 2008 - Filed Under Freedom, Miscellaneous, My plan, Simplicity, Travel | 10 Comments
I’m reading this really interesting book, The Paradox of Choice, by Barry Schwartz. I’m not quite finished yet but so far it confirms some gut feelings I’ve been having lately about the overwhelming choices a lot of us have and how that truly affects us both positively and negatively. I would highly recommend it.
It looks at [...]
Productivity made simple
Posted on October 10, 2008 - Filed Under Miscellaneous, My plan, Simplicity, Travel | 3 Comments
There seems to be a recent proliferation of blogs, books, etc. on productivity. Most of these have fun, useful tips. I’ve jumped on Lifehacker and Dumblittleman before and after a few visits, I quickly realized that most of the info they relay is just plain common sense. However, it seems we are so busy these days that [...]

Oh, how I love fall… it is physically hurting me to be inside today. The air is cool and crisp and I’m wearing my new brown boots and favorite scarf. Apples abound at the Farmers market and soon I’ll be cooking pumpkin anything and brewing apple cider. Yay!!
Lately I’ve been thinking about where I’ll be in [...]
Restless musings…

I admit, it took me a while to get used to the idea of Facebook. I was a reluctant convert…totally clueless as to how to send a message much less use one of those application thingy’s. I’m somewhat adept now…although I still don’t know how to ‘throw something’ at someone or what ’superpoke’ means [...]
Hurricanes: The storm, the drink and the team
Posted on September 5, 2008 - Filed Under My plan | 4 Comments
This week I’ve been in Gulf Shores with my family. It’s been really fun and a relaxing week. We almost didn’t come due to Hurricane Gustav but took a chance anyway. The first couple of days were crazy with hurricane force winds, high surf (almost to our condo!) and rain. We stayed in and watched [...]
