28-Day Personal Challenge Today, I decided to share some of life’s little moments that bring me joy. The small things that bring a smile, a laugh, happiness into our lives. Life’s Little Moments #1 My twins are in college, Twin B is in the second semester of his first year and Twin A is in…

28-Day Personal Challenge The Vague Description of Adenomyosis Adenomyosis is when the muscle of the uterus breaks through the uterine wall. That’s the basic gist of it. Adenomyosis is curable with a hysterectomy. An extreme cure, but one none-the-less. Menopause can cure the issue, too, if you can hold out long enough. There are procedures…

28-Day Personal Challenge When life gets chaotic, you need to destress, take “you” time, chill out, whatever you want to call it, it’s the time you take away from your troubles or the stressors in life to recharge.

28-Day Personal Challenge I was thrown a few curve balls this weekend, so I need to retool the plan, the 28-day personal challenge plan. However, I will not quit because I missed two days, sometimes ambiguity works in my favor. I said I would create 28 days of content in February. Hmm, so I guess…

The things I told myself I would not let intrude during this writing challenge. This challenge is solely to get the ideas out, no fears, no concern for a narrowed-down niche/focus, and no fear….

28-Day Personal Challenge I think I need a challenge check-in. Depending on the challenge you’ve decided to tackle, you may or may not see results within ten days. And that can be incredibly frustrating. I did an ab challenge once and it went well, possibly because I could see the difference and I could feel…

28-Day Personal Challenge Now, What Are You Going to Do? I’ve asked myself this question more often than I’d like to admit. I usually phrase it, “Now what are you going to do, Diane?” Referencing myself in the third person seems to be the most effective. I’m not sure why. It just is. I’ve asked…

28-Day Personal Challenge Today I’m sharing my utmost hated line: “He doesn’t bite.” What Happened I used to run (full disclosure I am the world’s slowest runner, pretty sure I walk faster than I run). So yeah, I used to run. One day I wasn’t far from home, but as I rounded a corner I…
