Well, it has been a few weeks of craziness. I have been trying to keep up with 3 kids, work, housework, church callings, and trying to make some very important decisions about our future.
I now feel the need to tell you that I haven' t been handling it very well. But as I read my friend
Holly's post about how she picks a word to help inspire her every year, I finally have found the perfect word for me. I tried a few like, LIVE, SERVE, LOVE, and a few others, but nothing felt right until I read a sign that I have had in my house a million times, a sign that I have sitting around waiting for the perfect spot to hang it. This sign says: SIMPLIFY.
Now is the time to divulge some very personal information, there are a few who already know this about me, but for the rest of you here goes-
My name is Calise and I am a
PACK RAT and I
WORRY about everything, AND I get STRESSED easily.
This year, I am going to be better. I will be clutter free, I will spend more time playing with my children and not worry about the house. I will read my scriptures everyday, I will be better with our finances, I will be a better mom and make healthier choices for myself and my kids, and I will make a conscious effort to be happy- every day!
I know, it sounds like a lot- right?
To get me started off right, with the financial part, I am in the process of reading Suze Orman's book that is FREE to download right now here.
I encourage you all to make some goals for yourself, and live a better life this year! :)
P.S., I am still working to get pictures from my camera to my computer- hopefully I can share Christmas pictures SOON!!!!
