Let's do it differently, shall we?

Reader, Today is the last Sunday in 2024. So tempting to do it like everyone else -
Let's do it differently, shall we? It's great to reflect and set direction for career and lives, of course. But I've found things like 'goal setting' just let me down - I often don't hit my goals. Then I just end up feeling disillusioned, disappointed, and no good. So instead of doing the conventional year-in-review and goal setting for next year, I'm chunking it down even more. I'm sure you already know what you want. If you're an ambitious mom like me, perhaps it's:
However you define what you want, you'll know what it is when it feels so good, right? I prefer daily and weekly tasks that take me in the general direction I want to go. Because I never imagined when I started my professional life and motherhood journey I'd be here today. But one thing remained constant - I've always been guided by my heart, and what feels good to me. Even when it was tough. Somehow, in the confusion, fear, doubt and pain, I've always found my way to land here, where I am today. And so have you. So set your broad general direction. Then take baby steps daily. Celebrate the milestones. Stay open to serendipity. This is the beauty of living in the gap of where you are and where you want to be, and the action you're taking, moment-by-moment to move in the direction of your dreams. Happy 2025! Sharon |

Reader, Is there something you've been wanting to try but feel hesitant about? Today's podcast episode is for you then!

If you don't know what this is, sound healing is an ancient practice that uses the power of sound vibrations to promote healing and relaxation. The idea is that since our body is made up of 70% water, these sound vibrations and frequencies help calm you. When your energies are out of...
Reader, Do you take the boring, everyday, mundane routines for granted? I did and never thought I'd miss my daily routines so much after a 2-week family vacation! Anticipating the trip was way more fun than when we were actually on the trip - never thought I'd say this. After 2 weeks of vacation time, I couldn't wait to get back to my boring, everyday routines! Many people think the success they want is found in the latest trend, strategy or hack. Or adding more to their plates. When...
Reader, I need to start this with a disclaimer: this is not financial advice and I'm not a financial advisor. Instead, I share my personal experience controlling my money instead of letting money control me. This is my version of making the money I need for the life I want. It's not just about making all the money in the world. Because I'm not sure I want to be that sort of a person or do what it takes to have that much money. In this week's podcast episode, I give a different take from what...
