Monday Motivations

Squash the Chaos

Volume 1, Number 2

Good Morning

I hope everyone had a fabulous week! Let’s get ready to make this week fabulous too.

Some of my wins from last week are I sent out my first newsletter, my family enjoyed eight pounds of delicious strawberries from myfruittruck.com, I got to see our local high school’s production of Matilda, we found a new home, I got a mammogram and well survived another week, so yay me! :)

I purchased them Monday morning and they were gone by Wednesday night! :)

My strawberries were the perfect touch to sweetness! No extra sugar was needed! :)

A Yummy Treat

A couple of weeks ago I made banana bread, which was so scrumdiddlyumptious. I thought I would share the recipe with you so you can have scrumdiddlyumptious banana bread too. It was so yummy that I am calling it my Ultimate Banana Bread Recipe; you can find it here.

Weekly Focus

This week’s FOCUS is on Life Aspirations and how to create the Life you Dream of.

I have yet to write a bucket list. Several reasons come to mind. The first reason is that many people refer to their bucket list as their list of things to do before they die. Well, honestly I don’t wanna think about dying, because I’m going to live forever, and deeply feel that the whole death thing would give my list bad vibes. The second reason is that buckets are usually associated with gross things. I have had a few that I loved that were aged to perfection with dents, scratches and the like that I stuffed with soil and oodles of daffodils, tulips, or whatever was blooming at that particular moment in time, but mostly I associate the slimy gross eww that needs to be disposed of and most likely was needed to tackle some kind of an enormous mess, and well being a mother of four I have seen enough ewwww and don’t even want to think about it. 

So I thought long and hard, went through oodles of word choices that never made my final cut, but I chose drumroll……. Life Aspirations.

Life means - the existence of an individual human being or animal.

Existence means -. the fact or state of living or having objective reality, continued survival, or a way of living.

Aspirations means - a hope or ambition of achieving something.

So in essence I want to live to achieve and the best way I feel to do that is to come up with a plan. So I made a printable so that I could write down my Life Aspirations. I just did it, I took a few minutes one afternoon last April and listed those things that popped into my mind no matter how crazy they seemed.

I feel it is better to get them written down and out of your brain, I know from personal experience the more you get outta your brain the better. :)

I did a whole blog post about this you can read it here. This is one of my favorite posts because I share a few of the Life Aspirations I had in my brain and have already accomplished, and even though it is out of my comfort zone I shared some of the ones I can’t wait to cross off! Which lead me to this week’s challenge.
