Something about starting the Fall season has me 1) reaching for a sweater and 2) taking on a new project. And one project that never ends is the quest for self-improvement. I recently learned about how we self-sabotage through a webinar at work, and I thought I’d share this great new resource: the Saboteurs quiz.
Sophie is very, very close to turning 18. While it feels like she is still our little baby (she would hate my writing that!) the fact is that she is legally going to be an adult. And that means that Dear Husband and I need to work with Sophie to transition some responsibilities to her. And continue to have the option to support her in various ways, if needed.
Sophie is heading out into the world very soon- with travel and college in her immediate future. She’s lived a pretty sheltered life, here in Northern California. And I wanted to make sure she is ready for whatever may come her way. At the top of my list was a self-defense training course- which we finally took care of this weekend in San Francisco.
I’m slowly catching up on all the cool stuff I want to share from our trip to England and Ireland this summer. And although nothing can beat a trip to Hampstead Heath, our stop by the Waterford Crystal visitor center was pretty amazing too.
Sophie is graduating from high school next week. I still can’t believe it- how can this be?? And I am starting to realize that becoming an empty nester can go smoothly…or it can go quite badly. I am determined to make the best of it!
Like many of you, I have been incredibly moved by the situation in Ukraine. And I’ve been reading and listening to as much content as possible, in order to better understand what we are facing. And what we might do to resolve this terrible situation. After absorbing so much info, I wanted to share a few podcasts that have made the biggest impact on me. Depending on how much time you have, you can add an additional podcast to broaden your knowledge.
I have really tried not to choose any podcasts that are overly partisan- frankly, I’m not interested in that spin whatsoever. So I am hopeful that everyone can find something that resonates with them from my picks.
