Happy Monday, friends... I'm off for MLK Day today and what a delicious gift a simple day off can be! I know -- I just returned to work after two weeks of Christmas vacation, but if you recall I was traveling heavily and also dealing with serious turmoil at my school so my "break" was not a restful one.

A few years ago I gave up making New Year's resolutions. I usually struggled to come up with that one thing on which to focus my efforts, and though I'd start off strong (and resolute!), by February it had usually fallen by the wayside.

Anyhoo, I made the mistake of pulling up my Home Goals 2013 post yesterday and actually laughed out loud! Clearly, I need to revisit the goals list throughout the year so I don't fall prey to Home Projects ADD and flit from one thing to another … [Read more...]
