If You Are Behind Perhaps You Should Slow Down

Rushing may seem to assist in getting more done, but I have found it often does the opposite. The faster you go the more behind you can get. If you are behind, slow down and assess the situation. Going faster might not be the answer, slowing down and figuring out a new strategy may be. Step one: slow down and ask yourself what you can delegate. You don't have to do everything yourself. I know it is... (posted by Rachelle 4 years 22 days ago.)
Get Rid of the Toxins in Your Life
1

I tuned in to listen to my radio show on the new station and was very disappointed not to hear it. They were airing an infomercial for a personal cleansing product instead. When I told my husband the show wasn't on, he reminded me that the time had changed and the show would be on in an hour. I continued drinking my tea and listening to the radio. The host of the show was talking about the... (posted by Rachelle 4 years 22 days ago.)

Make Any Day or Every Day a Holiday

I have learned that anyone can declare any day a holiday or special day such as National Marshmallow Toasting Day (August 30th) or Cheese Pizza Day (September 5th). There is a process to follow to create a holiday or special day but pretty much anything goes. Now if you want a National Day (as in National Holiday) that takes an Act of Congress! But, there really is no need to go through that process. You just need to... (posted by Rachelle 4 years 151 days ago.)
Almost Everything In Life Is Negotiable

I can only think of two things that are not negotiable and they are death and taxes. Other than that everything else is up for grabs. The fact that everything is negotiable doesn't mean you will get everything just the way you want it. What it does mean is you can at least ask for what you want. My husband had an unfortunate car accident. He was waiting his turn to make a left-hand turn, and a woman in the van... (posted by Rachelle 4 years 197 days ago.)
