Need a Fun Summer Read?
Are you on the hunt for a fun and insightful book to dive into this summer? Something with a great message but not too heavy? I’ve got just the pick for you…
The best goal-setting advice I ever received (and still use)
Mid-January already—that was fast. This new year has brought its share of challenges, especially with the fires in California. My heart goes out to everyone whose lives have been impacted by this devastation.
My son Sinjin and his young family live near the fire zones, and while they’re safe, my daughter-in-law still needs to make regular trips toward those areas for her check-ins at the City of Hope. Thank you to those who’ve asked about her—I’m happy to share that she’s doing very well, and we’re incredibly grateful for that!
As I think about the year ahead, I’m reminded of some of the best, yet simple advice I’ve ever received: put YOUR time off on the blank calendar first. Whether it’s vacations, weekend getaways, or even a simple day to yourself, if you don’t plan it, it’s too easy to let life fill every available space. Which is what happened to me for many years, and why I love this “no duh” advice so much!
Here are two additional ideas you might not have considered for your goals list this year:
1. Get curious about something new.
Pick one new thing to try—not because you need to be good at it, but because it sparks your interest.
Whether it’s learning to make sourdough bread, painting, photography, learning a new language, or even stargazing, curiosity keeps life vibrant and exciting.
This past year I’ve been taking an AI art class that I’m loving!
Way outside my usual wheelhouse? Yes!
Enjoying the learning curve? Absolutely!
What’s something you’ve always wanted to try, just for the joy of it?
Give yourself permission to dive in and learn as you go.
2. Energy alignment as a habit.
Make space for regular check-ins with your mind, body, and spirit.
This could mean practicing mindfulness, journaling, or even booking a session with me to start the year with clarity and purpose.
I still have a few session spots available in January for personal SimplyAlign energy sessions via phone or Zoom.
On the Catching Sunshine Podcast this week: Myth Busting~That quote about doing everything the same, let’s get real!
Ever had that famous quote “how you do anything is how you do everything” thrown at you? This week’s episode might just flip everything you thought you knew about it on its head – in the most freeing way possible.
Join me for a fun, fresh take on this overused phrase!
Why Summer is the Perfect Time for New Habits
I know that summer often feels like that frustrating time when all your routines and schedules go out the window. The kids are home, or grandkids visit, vacations get packed in, and let’s be honest – habits can be hard to hang onto!
Time for a Detox! Ready to Feel Your Best?
Oh yeah baby, June is here and it’s that time again! Hubby and I are geared up for our bi-annual GSG 26-day detox, and we’d love for you to do it too if you want to feel great by the 4th of July! We’ve been doing this detox since 2018, and the positive changes in our health and energy levels have been undeniable!
Celebrating Milestones and New Possibilities
Last week was my birthday, and as is my new tradition here in DC, I celebrated by visiting the Smithsonian Zoo (those meerkats always crack me up!).
