just tell me to RELAX

Entries from January 2007

Headed out tomorrow

OK, I haven’t done much with this blog thing as of yet, but I’ll keep making a stab.

 An update on my word RELAX:  I really think it’s helping me to have a word and a focus.  AND some of the people around me have (you know who you are!) have been occasionally reminding of my word.  It’s amazing how often Frankie Goes to Hollywood comes on the radio…

 My buddy Ellery has picked her word for the year — SIMPLIFY.  I totally love it.  Now I have to hit my new Quotationary (this HUGE dictionary-looking thing that I picked up on the bargain bin at Barnes and Noble) for some good SIMPLIFY quotes for her.  Unfortunately, there are no quotes listed under RELAX.  I guess I’ll have to start coining some of my own RELAX phrases.

 I found the coolest link on Ali Edward’s blog today — http://www.scrapbookpictures.com/SBPView.jsp  For only $2.49, you can get a 12×12 picture and I can’t wait to order some of these!  I think this price is only for February.

 I’m headed off on a scrapbooking weekend with my buddy Steph Clouatre and all of our “scrap crap”.  It’s my goal to use up a bunch of my paper that I have been buying and hoarding.  This paper addiction is really getting the better of me.

RELAX — one little word

January 23, 2007 · Leave a Comment

Ali Edwards posted a challenge on her blog — pick a single word that sums up what you want for yourself in 2007.  Well, mine is RELAX, and I can think of a billion ways it can be applied to my life.  Don’t take things so seriously.  Enjoy the moment.  Take a minute and breathe.  Don’t just REACT to every little thing.  The list could go on and on.  I picked my word right after Ali posted her challenge, and I have to say it’s already made a big impact for me.  I think about this word often, and I’ve made several little RELAX reminders that hang in my office/scrap space.  I’ve even authorized my husband to tell me to RELAX when I’m overreacting about something!  That’s pretty big for me.  Now let’s see if he does it…

 If you don’t already read Ali’s blog or get her AEzine (weekly newsletter), you should check it out.  This is the link to the One Little Word challenge.   http://www.lifeartmedia.com/newsletter11.html
