No More Christmas Morning Martyr

Dear Friends, Did you know that you can celebrate Christmas on any day if you choose? I have always told my son to not worry about coming to our home on December 25th. With their young family it is hard enough to get to of their parents home, much less all of them. So I have taken myself out of the chaotic mix. We can have our holiday celebration on Jan 5 or December 10. It just doesn't matter at all to me.

Not Feeling Joyful this Year

Dear Friends, On Sunday I received an email from a long time FlyBaby who lives in France. She grew up in the United States and had just returned home after spending time with her family. She was saddened by the division that she saw and felt during her visit. She seemed to be upset with me because I was touting Joy, happiness, and Peace on Earth.

Two Minutes Just for You

I Saw the Light

FlyLady, I have been using your calendar for a few years now and it really changed how I looked at my week! I'm so used to looking at it every morning and night that it's just a part of what I do.I make it a priority to put events, etc. on there as soon as I get it in the mail, school newsletter or church bulletin. Each activity has a different color, pink for dance class, orange for church activities.... Not only does it make the calendar colorful, it also alerts me if too much of one color is showing up. (Maybe over-involved??!)
