Fitness Friday is Back ~ I’m Back on Track

Fitness Friday is Back ~ I’m Back on Track

As you have all heard extensively this week I finally got a Wii Fit. YAY. So this week I have been working out/playing games whatever you want to call it. I have yet to create a “routine” as-it-were, but I have gotten on every day. My goal is to do 20 minutes. I usually get my 20 minutes in first ~ well more like 3rd thing in the morning. Right behind Hanna’s breakfast and email. I do a bunch of cardio, and then I do some strength training ~ whether it’s the strength moves or yoga and of course I’ve been playing the balance games. I have always thought of exercise as something very  serious, and definitely NOT fun. So Wii Fit is seriously challenging some all of my beliefs around fitness and exercising. I am sure I am still taking it...

Are You Working Hard or Getting Things Done?

Are You Working Hard or Getting Things Done?

It seems all the planets are aligned in this weeks message of following my inspiration and working smart not hard. Here’s the message I got from God today. Have I said lately how much I love these. Thank you Neale Donald Walsch. I appreciate you!! On this day of your life,  Jackie, I believe God wants you to know… ….that working hard is good, but getting things done is better. Look to see how you are spending your day. Are you accomplishing anything? Is it anything that matters? You have only so much time here. Don’t waste it. If you are really putting in a lot of effort, but not getting much done that matters, take a look at that. That’s all I’m saying.  Take a look. Love, Your Friend…. Gotta love it right?  It is so...

How Did She Learn to Say THAT???

How Did She Learn to Say THAT???

I’ve been noticing some very grown up things coming out of my two year old’s mouth. Here are a few of my favorites. “I don’t think so mom” ~ when asked to do something she really doesn’t want to do I was just singing the Dragon Tales song playing around (dragon tales is on right now) and she looked at me, tilted her head and said “songs over mom”. OH, and BTW ~ when did I become MOM? Let’s see . . . Oh, last night we went to yoga so it was a little late when we finished dinner. I was checking some email before I put her to bed and she came up to me and said ~ “it’s night time. It’s time to go to bed” Holy WHAT?? Is this my kid? The one for the first two and a half years of life refused...

Finally Got My Wii Fit!!

Finally Got My Wii Fit!!

Image via Wikipedia My EFT practitioner has set me on a path to “follow my inspiration” this week. It’s an interesting task, and I’m surprised at some of the emotional charges that are coming up in this process. In trying to follow my inspiration I managed to not do any grocery shopping yet this week ~ and had no food for dinner last night. We ran to the Walmart to grab dinner food for last night, and tonight as well as snacks for the race today. On a whim I ran by the Wii section ~ Walmart has been out of Wii fits for as long as I have been looking (well duh) which has been a couple months now. Well to my shock and awe there were Wii Fits sitting on that shelf where there is usually a big blank space with only a price tag. I...

Managing the Mind Numbing Tasks

Managing the Mind Numbing Tasks

In internet marketing there are some tasks that HAVE to be done, but they are completely mind numbing!! They are tedious and repetitive and I hate doing them, however, they are imperative to the success of my business. It occured to me today while I was in the middle of one of these mind numbing activities that I could use this time to listen to some of the yummy stuff gathering dust on my hard drive. You know all those audio bonuses people give you all the time. I was not really in the mood today for marketing stuff, so I went to itunes and started snooping around in the podcast section.  Most of the podcast channels are free to listen to and you can find podcasts on just about any subject you can imagine. I just started working with this amazing EFT...
