Today Judy and I are excited to delve into the wisdom found within the pages of "The 12 Week Year" by Brian Moran and Michael Lennington. As we embark on this literary adventure, we'll briefly overview the book and share why it resonated deeply. But that's just the beginning. Thinking back to our previous discussion on the emotional triad, we'll explore how "The 12 Week Year" concepts intersect with our innate desires for pleasure, avoidance of pain, and efficiency. Then, within our reflections, we'll confront a common hurdle: the allure of comfort. We'll discuss how stepping out of our comfort zones is often necessary to achieve our goals and dreams. It's a fascinating exploration of human psychology and productivity. Moving forward, we'll focus on the importance of intentionality in our actions. Living with purpose and direction is key to making meaningful progress. And finally, we'll emphasize the value of consistent daily action. It's not just about setting goals; it's about actively working toward them every. single. day.

In today’s conversation, Judy and I dive into the fashion fads that shaped us and how we view fashion today. From bellbottom jeans and go-go boots to conservative wear and big hair, our stories capture the essence of our past. But here's the kicker: writing these stories isn't just about preserving the past; it's about exploring what these memories reveal about us and how they shape our present lives. With curiosity and reflection, we uncover real gems about ourselves. And let me tell you, we're all in for this introspective journey!
In today’s conversation, Judy and I discuss the writings the Sidetracked Sisters did this week about "A Funny Memory of Childhood," and let me tell you, the stories were golden! Three of them were about our kids or grandkids, and only one was a personal trip down memory lane. We laughed a lot, reminiscing about these priceless moments. They were fantastic to capture on paper, but here's the kicker: writing these stories isn't just about preserving the past. It's also about digging deep to see what these memories reveal about us and how they still shape our lives today. With a bit of curiosity and reflection, we can uncover some real gems about ourselves. And let me tell you, we're all in for this introspective journey!
In today’s conversation, Judy and I discuss “Giving Yourself Permission”. I read somewhere that answering machines ask you two questions: 'Who are you and what do you want?' Most people live their lives without answering either. So, we have a challenge for you today... Give yourself permission to decide and create your answers!
