• Celebrating 2015

    For the past several years (2012, 2013, 2014), I have kept track of the accomplishments for the year. Last year I kept a monthly celebration page, which I called my “Book of Stars” (I originally posted about that here). This year was particularly challenging for me, which I wrote…

  • How to Survive a Move with Your Creativity Intact

    It’s no secret that we moved this year. I’ve moved a lot in my life, having grown up in Thailand and Malaysia, and moving multiple times in my adult life. But this one was different. This time I said good bye to a place I’d lived in longer than…

  • Focus on March

    In 2014, I vowed to be more focused in my work. I wrote about quarterly goals and monthly focus. Now that the month of February is almost over, it’s time to start looking at March. I’ll admit, I overshot what I thought I could get done in February. But…

  • 2014 Goal Setting Re-Vamped

    Last week, I went over the good, the bad, and the truth about 2013’s goals. Even though many things DID work, I’m always looking to make things much better. Because I found that so much can change in a year, I wanted to shorten the timeframe of some of…

  • 2013 A Year in Goals: The Good, The Bad, The Truth

    Before I look ahead to 2014, I thought I should look back to 2013, what worked and what didn’t work in my writing life. Goals The Good: I created SMART goals for 2013. I liked setting up my goals this way because it helped me create tangible tasks for…

  • Your 100%

    Monday nights are yoga nights. It’s the perfect day—the most stressful day of the week because I’m getting back into the swing of things. One of the things I most admire about my yoga teacher is that she really tries to make the class work at varying levels. It’s…
