I’ve been contemplating the end of the decade, and this year, I am offering you something new.
This year, you are the artist of your own blank canvas, and I have offered you a focus for each month to take you through the first year of the new decade.
I have left it vague and fairly open on purpose: this exercise is to get you introspective and intentional.

How Do You Talk To People?
The Practice: Try A Softer Tone.
Why?
When our kids were little, I’d come home from work wanting some peace after the daily roller-coaster and often walk into a living room full of stuff – toy trucks, tennis shoes, bags of chips, etc. At the time, the arrangement my wife and I had was that I’d be primarily responsible for income and she’d be primarily responsible for taking care of the kids, including getting them to pick up after themselves. When we were both home, we divided the housework and child-rearing evenly.
I liked yesterday morning’s Global TV segment, because the topic makes you think.
When did being an average student become a bad thing?
I talked about a recent trending parenting article, and how apropos right before exams. Something to really think about. Are YOU okay if your child is an average student?
And, being an average student doesn’t guarantee your kid won’t be a star when they grow up, just as excellence in marks doesn’t mean they’ll be successful. One thing does have an impact on future success. You’ll have to watch the segment to find out.
I help busy women (like you!) prioritize self-care so you can experience less stress, more calm and greater joy every day!
