Happy Spring Equinox!

Every morning I have a ritual of writing out a daily word and a few interpretations of the word that represents my intention for the day ahead. They become my affirmations words and thoughts that I carry with me throughout my day. I have been doing this daily word exercise for a few years, and prior to that I would write out a few things that I was grateful for each morning. It has been fun to sort them by date and read them on a monthly basis. It gives me an overview of my mood and intentions that were carried out for the month. I also have created a fun project with these affirmation words as custom word search puzzles. I found an online template that allows me to create my own puzzles. I print them out and work on them in the evenings, and it is a very zen and cathartic way to spend my time. Check out my Zen Daily Words page for samples of my custom affirmation word puzzles and my daily word notes. I have sweet little notepads that I am inspired to write these words in. My newest pad is pink with roses and the cover says: Smell the Roses. A nice reminder to take time to smell the roses.

My words for today: 
DREAM
Spring
Intention
Create
Momentum
Confidence
Success

Zen Nona ~ Now or Never Adventure!

Recently I decided to take a ZEN NONA…..a term I created which means a “Zen ~ Now or Never Adventure”! I think of it as similar to a GAP Year that kids take between high school and college, but now being at the age of a Grandmother/Nonna (yikes!) I call it my Zen Nona in Sedona!

I have signed up for Social Security, I wanted to wait until my 66th Birthday, but I had no choice but to sign up early. Between the SS and some designated savings I have decided that I don’t want to jump into working right away after losing my client of 20+ years! I need a break for 6+ months, and then I will have to go back into the work force, since I don’t have nearly enough saved to survive only on Social Security!

I am enjoying this block of time to create, dream, travel, volunteer, network, start a new business venture, and who knows how I might re-invent myself during this adventure in my 3rd Act of Life!  

It’s exciting and a bit scary, but as Helen Keller said: Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing at all!

💗 PEACE
