Does it even matter?

January 22, 2020 by mizliz74 Leave a Comment

It’s been a long week and it’s only Tuesday. 🙁 Yesterday I posted something on my facebook page about how to wean yourself off of facebook. A tad ironic I suppose since the whole point of posting on facebook is so other people will read your stuff and if no one is on facebook, no … [Read more…]

Great expectations

January 20, 2020 by mizliz74 Leave a Comment

Is your day turning out as expected? Mine neither. It never does. I have this pie in the sky idea of how my day should look yet it never looks that way. I sometimes think I set myself up for failure by not setting reasonable expectations for myself. As if I am magically going to … [Read more…]

Hi there!

December 28, 2019 by mizliz74 1 Comment

It’s been awhile. I had been trying to focus on my other site but, to be honest, I lost interest and stopped blogging altogether. I couldn’t even handle 30 days in a row for a 30 day health challenge. 😑 I guess there are some basic rules for a healthy lifestyle and I could only … [Read more…]

Word of the year 2016: BREATHE

January 5, 2016 by mizliz74 Leave a Comment

Have you seen this? The “word of the year?” I thought about it and thought about it and wonder of wonders it struck me during yoga that perhaps my word this year could be to just “breathe.” A little background: I have recently become an anxious ball of nerves. Anxiety has been an unwelcome guest … [Read more…]

Balancing your to-do list

April 15, 2015 by mizliz74 Leave a Comment

(I started this post last week and was too tired to finish it! Hence it starts off a bit in the past…) I am in a post Holy Week stupor. Last year at this time I was returning from our “trip from hell” to Key West. This year we were full blown involved in Holy … [Read more…]

October 16, 2014 by mizliz74 Leave a Comment

Only here in a “first world” country, the land of plenty, could minimalism be a “thing.” Only here where we are so overstuffed would we voluntarily decide to live with less. My family sponsors some children through Compassion International. We sponsor them because they do not have. While I sit here stuffing my face with … [Read more…]

Imperfectly human

August 13, 2014 by mizliz74 Leave a Comment

  So I just spent the last 5 minutes laughing hysterically at this post about epic failures at DIY. Seriously funny stuff. I still have damp eyes. Man, does it feel good to laugh. Yesterday the world heard about one of the funniest comedians ever committing suicide. Iran is committing absolute atrocities against Christians. There are … [Read more…]
