4. Money Matters Not. Time Spent Does.
5. My Journey 1st
6. Organization is Key
7. Do it now

Again- with a tiny bit of explanation


1. Health is #1- Practice Extreme Self Care.

2. Choose Love- Love Makes the World Go Round

3. Don't Sweat the Small Stuff- Is it worth it to get upset over this?

4. Money Matters Not. Time Spent Does.- Time with Family and Friends Trumps Work or Volunteer Projects

5. My Journey 1st- I tend to help so many others, then I am the one depleted and not taking care of myself, my house, etc.

6. Organization is Key- A schedule, a clean and picked up house, working from a list give me a deep sense of comfort and peace.

7. Do it now- It's better to keep up than to catch up.

8. Have Fun- Take time for vacations, a few days away, or even an afternoon reading a book.

9. Be a Good Family Member and Friend- Remember birthdays, send cards, buy an unexpected gift.

10. Say No! It's OK to say no to requests for my time and resources.

11. Turn Off to Tune In- Silence is Golden.

12. Be the Light you want to see in the World- Our Pastor said this to us as we left church on Christmas Eve. Where there is light, no dark can exist.

For Christmas I bought each of my female CW's a little cute notebook (Target). It's a simple notebook with a cute design on the cover.

I bought all they had so I didn't get one.

Last night, I was in Target and they had them back in stock so I bought myself one.

I printed my 12 Commandments in a pretty font, printed them on a colored piece of paper- and placed them in the inside cover of the notebook.

Shannon-
It's SO cute and at only $2.99- Couldn't be passed up!

It's nice to see all my CW's using them too- One is using hers as a day to day planner, guide to her every day life.

Another is using hers to log her food intake and exercise.

that's great. It feels good to see people enjoying their gifts you got. That's about what I spent on mine. Now I just need to do more w/ it. I have one that I keep in my purse i always write my notes in.

Thought I should revisit these and check in with myself on how I am doing.

I think I'm doing pretty good but I need to hang these where I can look at them every day! When they're stuffed in a notebook I don't look at them as often as I should.

How are others doing?
