  • 2PM slump

    As I sit at my desk at work and find myself falling asleep again, I check the clock. Yep, sure enough, it is just past 2 p.m. Every day, this is an issue. I wonder why it happens. I’ve been told it is what I eat. I changed that and don’t overeat and eat healthy…

  • Food is life

    My favorite food is definitely red meat of pretty much any kind. Prime rib, medium rare is my favorite. However, with high cholesterol and high blood pressure I have to limit my red meat intake. Prime rib is reserved to maybe twice a year – my birthday and Christmas. There is just something about the…

  • Ponyboy

    I found this book in a country store on my last visit to NH. I was so excited! I haven’t read this book since 7th grade over 30 years ago! I am about 40 pages in and loving it as much as I did in my early teenage years. In my earlier childhood I lived…

  • Furthest travel from home

    My furthest trip from home (and this is pulling from way back in my memory for details!) was to Vancouver, British Columbia in Canada. It was a reward trip for being on the General Motors Business Accounting Manager’s Council. This had to have been about 20 plus years ago, so the exact specifics of the…

  • So I rejoined Weight Watchers (again) last week – finally. I am more determined than ever to eat healthy and get fit – I have been since January. Weight Watchers had a great deal to join back up AND it tracks my macros which I really need. I can do this! However, I also do…

  • Hopeful and determined!

    Today, I am feeling hopeful and determined to keep making strides to meet my goals. I started doing free basic-level proofreading pages to get myself comfortable with it. I have also started messing around with ideas and writing. And, of course, I started this blog and made a page on Facebook. Little steps, but steps…

These podcasts have compilations of different motivational speakers. There are a few with Tom Brady in them, and anyone…
