Hi everyone!  Note: To keep posts short, I’ve made a Trello board with my goals for the year. Feel free to check it out if you want to know more about the bigger plan. My word for the week is LATE. I’ve missed 2 check-ins and the redirect issues I have with the site are not helping. I’m also late on my goals, but that’s OK. I’ve realized it’s because I’m spending more time on what really matters and I don’t need to keep myself busy as much as I used to. So I’ll drop a few goals that are just not happening, and adjust others. That’s definitely not how…

Hi everyone!  Note: To keep posts short, I’ve made a Trello board with my goals for the year. Feel free to check it out if you want to know more about the bigger plan. My word for the week is SLOW. I had less students this week and the girls were sick again on Monday, so it just made sense to take things slow. Then yesterday the girls went off with their dad on a first holiday, so the house has been quiet.

Hi everyone!  Note: To keep posts short, I’ve made a Trello board with my goals for the year. Feel free to check it out if you want to know more about the bigger plan. My word for the week is PAUSE. Between the funeral on Wednesday and stomach flu for the girls then myself, I had to take this week off. So the couple of goals that were left for June stayed pretty much the same as last week. But of course, that’s OK. I’ll try to catch up over the summer as I should have less work (students going on vacation, but new students might also come along so…

Hi everyone!  Note: To keep posts short, I’ve made a Trello board with my goals for the year. Feel free to check it out if you want to know more about the bigger plan. My word for the week is GRIEF. We knew it was coming and it happened yesterday: my daughters’ great grandmother passed away. So once again, goals were pretty secondary. I’ll wrap up for the Round today and will set goals for next Round and next month next Sunday.

Hi everyone!  Note: To keep posts short, I’ve made a Trello board with my goals for the year. Feel free to check it out if you want to know more about the bigger plan. My word for the week is SLOW. That’s how I’m taking things right now, allowing myself to rest when necessary, as I’ve had a hard time sleeping for a while. Not sure whether it’s worries or the heat, or a mix of both, but thankfully it got better towards the end of the week (6 hours in a row, woohoo!). News about my ex’s grandmother isn’t good, so goals do not seem so important right now…

Hi everyone!  Note: To keep posts short, I’ve made a Trello board with my goals for the year. Feel free to check it out if you want to know more about the bigger plan. My word for the week is OFF. As life kept happening a little too much, I gave myself leave to do just whatever felt manageable on a daily basis. News about my ex’s grandmother kept getting worse, and now we’re basically waiting for the worst. This has been on my mind a lot, so work goals seemed irrelevant somehow. Strangely enough, I’ve been able to keep writing — I’m assuming that’s because it’s connected to my…

Hi everyone!  Note: To keep posts short, I’ve made a Trello board with my goals for the year. Feel free to check it out if you want to know more about the bigger plan. My word for the week is FAMILY. As today is Mother’s Day in France, that’s appropriate. I wish it was all good news, but I’ve actually been concerned about my ex’s grandmother’s health, especially after visiting her in hospital this week.  Then on Friday, I went with my daughter’s class for a school trip and my mother apparently only had a yoghurt for lunch though I had made her some lasagna the day before. She then…

Hi everyone!  Note: To keep posts short, I’ve made a Trello board with my goals for the year. Feel free to check it out if you want to know more about the bigger plan. My word for the week is BALANCING. I’ve been trying to find the right balance with my not-so)new lifestyle for a while and things are going better overall. I still find it hard to have 2 different routines, especially letting go of some goals on the weeks my daughters spend at home. But I’m getting there. I’ve also been focusing on well-being once again, as sleep is still an issue. As long as it’s the week…

Hi everyone!  Note: To keep posts short, I’ve made a Trello board with my goals for the year. Feel free to check it out if you want to know more about the bigger plan. My word for the week is REST. As I took one of my yearly breaks and only worked on Wednesday, that was the plan anyway. Yesterday ended up being more intense than expected. First we went to my best friend’s daughter’s christening, so it was the first family event with my ex around, which wasn’t easy obviously.Then my dad arranged for my estranged brother to come and visit so that we could reconnect, so that also…

Hi everyone!  Note: To keep posts short, I’ve made a Trello board with my goals for the year. Feel free to check it out if you want to know more about the bigger plan. My word for the week is REVISITING. Mostly, I’ve been revisiting how and why I do things, including my goals of course. For instance, I’ve been having issues with keeping up my yoga routine. For years, I did a yoga session before breakfast and it was perfect. But now, with the girls being at home every other week, it just doesn’t work so well. Of course, it does when they’re at their father’s, but I need…
