Let’s Get Out and About!

August 21, 2015

The weekend is here! The daily round and work done for now! Time to unwind, relax, enjoy and spend time together! Raise early, this is not the time to sleep away your day! Enjoy a leisurely cup of fresh ground coffee in a chunky mug on your deck or patio. Tour your garden, make plans for the perfect outdoor retreat. Take a blanket and sit under the big tree in the back and listen for nature. Plan your weekend!

The weekend is not the time to complete your household chores or run errands all day- the activities to keep your life running smooth. Consider picking Wednesday for running errands after work or in the evening- take Yours with you! Thursday is the perfect time for household chores- clean, polish, tidy- the weekend is meant for you!

Autumn Adventures

Warm sweaters and hoodies, cozy scarves and boots, fall weather has arrived! As sorry as it is to kiss summer good-bye, Autumn is a glorious season! Summer’s sultry pleasures transform to sensuous comforts, full of spicy colors, flavors and sounds.

Let us indulge once more in the abundant experience of the Farmers Market! Fall harvest is a beautiful array for the senses! The sights, sounds and scents of the Market draw us in. We think-home, family, cozy evenings, warm soups and crisp apples, pumpkins, squash and gourds! We want to hold hands, sip warm cider and stroll slowly, our breath making frost in the chilly morning air. Let’s pick out some hearty fall goodies!

First stop- the flower venders! The summer bouquets have turned into enchanting wreaths, pumpkin vessels, shafts of magical dried botanicals- I am under their spell!

We wander leisurely through the Market, up and down each aisle. Everywhere are harvest surprises so different, we are enraptured!

Basket full of Autumn’s bountiful yield, we are for home. I think I will make soup for supper, add an easy home made crusty bread and light candles….

Living Everyday

August 14, 2015

Do you make New Year resolutions? The long list of what you will fix so that your life is what you desire? I did for years. I was usually daunted by my list of these things wrong or missing in my life. The question popped up- is this helpful? Do I feel let down by my resolutions not being met? Why… yes!

SO… I made a list, my Life List, of all the things I wanted in my life (can you tell I am a list person?) and made a pledge: Everyday I will do something on my list or something to get me closer to my Life List. Instead of focusing on fixing, I am now focusing on doing.

My new motto is simple: EVERYDAY.

Everyday Conversations

August 14, 2015

We spend hours talking everyday. We talk at work, we talk to store clerks, strangers in places, family phone calls. We talk to each other… do we really have the conversations we crave? Conversations about us, not what needs to happen at home, things to fix, errands to do, chores to complete. We don’t need to have those conversations be our only ones. Let’s plan some couple conversations.

Starting Now

August 13, 2015

Trending a New Lifestyle
So, now your life is yours again, that change we discussed- remember? You and Yours have celebrated the double decade anniversary, or by chance you are remarried, perhaps the children have grown and, finally, gone. Now You and Yours have a new life to create. Do you wonder that what means? How to do it? What even to do? You think- I have been THIS for the last 20 years, what do I know of being THAT? What is THAT anyway? My other is stuck in THIS. I don’t have money to be THAT or to have THAT life- what ever it is. All the better.

Let us create that lifestyle we crave, even if we do not know what it is. All we need is the desire to have This – an abundant life, full of love, experiences, beautiful things, knowledge, enough money and time – all leading to joy, connections, contentment, happiness and peace… exactly what we want! Each week, let’ explore our new life and create it together!
