21 Days: Discipline demands focus

Welcome back to the 21 Days to a More Disciplined Life challenge. (See what the big deal is here, and buy the book to follow along here.) So here we are again. I have to admit that I’m not used to posting every single day, so this has been a little tough. Each of these posts hasn’t be stellar …

21 days: Bite sized pieces and a cheerleader

So I didn’t post about this yesterday because…well, I didn’t do a piece of my mega-project. I got caught in a school project with my boys for 2 hours longer than anticipated (and it was GOOD!), and with early Shabbat, I didn’t do extras. My desk was clean (daily habit) and my kitchen was clean …

52 Week Challenge week 4: Shabbat

Six days a week we run around and manage our businesses, families, schools, and life in general. Things can be (OK, often are) crazy. And one day we can relax and rest from those duties. But that rest means planning ahead, something which can be a challenge for everyone! For me, it’s often the last …
