Optimistic Monday

March 18, 2013

I’m trying to get back on track with my some of the regular posts on my blog.  What better way to do this than with my Optimistic Monday post and a review of my goals.

My Goals for last week:
(or maybe it was the week before?)

1.  Write some blog posts and get them scheduled to go up while I’m on vacation.
I kind of failed in the scheduling of posts while I was on vacation.  I did sit still long enough to get a few posts up, but not really anything too exciting.

2.  Run errands and complete by Wednesday or Thursday.
I did get all of my errands done in a timely manner.

3.  Be packed for vacation by Thursday.
I was packed up and ready in plenty of time.  The only thing I ended up forgetting was my contact lens case and eyeglasses.  I was able to buy a new storage case easily but had to do without my glasses.  They are just for distance, but I like to take my contacts out in the evenings and wear glasses to rest my eyes.  I guess it’s not too bad considering it’s all I forgot to bring.
4.  Film 2 videos and upload both this week!
I filmed a few videos but didn’t upload because I didn’t like the way I looked in them.  Oh well…

5.  Mail out packages and cards for my Give A Smile Today list.
Yes, I mailed a few things before I went on vacation.


6.  Take a walk on the beach!!
I took MANY walks on the beach.


My goals for this week:

Since I have an extremely busy week with my kids’ schedules, I’m not going to set too many goals this week.  We’re having my daughter’s senior class over Monday night for dinner and fellowship.  Tuesday is a high school golf tournament for my son that I will attend.  Friday is Prom for my daughter.  I’ll just take one day at a time and it will all work out just fine.

1.  Get over this jet lag ASAP!
2.  Walk 3 times and try to do some pilates.
3.  Get up at least 4 blog posts.
4.  Film a few videos, including a few reviews that I’ve been wanting to do.

Do you have some goals that you are trying to accomplish this week?
Share them below in the comments section!

Have a fabulous week!

Last week, the Cancer Hope Network brought the com Last week, the Cancer Hope Network brought the community together in Morristown, NJ for an incredible day of golf and pickleball.

Their fundraising tournaments were filled with hope, connection, and support for those facing cancer by providing free, one-on-one support to cancer patients and their loved ones. 💙 

Are you or someone you know is facing a cancer diagnosis? You can learn more about this amazing organization or donate, by visiting cancerhopenetwork.org today!

Cancer Hope Network provides free, confidential, one-on-one emotional support to people impacted by cancer — including patients, survivors, and their loved ones.

Here’s how they do it:

* 💬 Peer Support: They match individuals facing cancer with trained volunteer support mentors who are cancer survivors or caregivers themselves. These mentors offer guidance, hope, and understanding from someone who’s “been there.”
* 🤝 Personalized Matching: Matches are based on factors like diagnosis, treatment type, age, gender, and personal concerns — ensuring relatable and meaningful connections.
* 💙 Support for Everyone: They offer support not just for patients, but also for caregivers, family members, and friends who are navigating a loved one’s cancer journey.
* 💯 Always Free & Confidential: Services are available at no cost, nationwide, regardless of insurance or treatment center affiliation.

Cancer Hope Network’s mission is simple but powerful: “No one should face cancer alone.”

I’m still replaying my wonderful vacation to NJ I’m still replaying my wonderful vacation to NJ and CT from last week, including this cute outfit that I got to wear in the cooler weather. 

I love the wide leg pull-on style jeans so much that I have them in a few colors. And you can never have too many cardigans.💗

My gorgeous new jewelry is from the new Julie Vos store in Dallas. I’m obsessed with the brand and they just released a stunning new silver collection. Have you seen it yet?

I’m linking everything for you. Just comment SHOP and I’ll send it your way. Remember to follow first so IG allows me to message you.‼️

See you again soon (I try to post Monday, Wednesday and Friday). Have a FANTASTIC week!💐
