Hey there!

This stream of consciousness is intended to be an unfiltered account of my journey to fight my way to a healthier, happier life. One day at a time, one step at a time, one organically-grown-emotionally-raw blog post at a time…

  • 2019-03-28 Life Is Long

    With each step I take on this new path of life that I have found myself on, I find that I’m becoming more and more convinced that I’ve made the right choices. The path I’m talking about is one where I’m making my creative pursuits and passions in life a priority and letting my “career”…

  • 2019-03-26 Working Title: Hypocrite’s Guide to the Galaxy

    Alternate Working Title: Let Me Tell You What I Really Think Now That I Have Had Two Glasses of Wine It’s almost 9PM on a Tuesday and yeah, I had two glasses of red wine with dinner. At dinner we watched the opening scene of the movie “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”. It’s a…

  • 2019-03-25 The Monday Challenge – Are You Doing Life Right?

    Eight Mondays to go.. seven if you don’t count the one I will be in Spain. If you don’t hate Mondays, then you are probably doing life right. A year ago I think I wrote a post about loving my new Mondays. See that’s proof of how life can shift and change right under you…

  • 2019-03-24 Sunday Stat Monthly Recap

    Oh hey! Here’s a blast from the past.. Sunday Stats!! Somewhere along the way I decided weekly stats were overkill (probably right about the time I was confident I had finally found the secret to success). But I still keep tabs on myself on a regular basis and think it’s Important to check it so…

  • 2019-03-23 Paper Mail and Filing Systems and Taxes.. Oh My

    This one is going to be real nail-biter! I spent 1 hour this morning (at 6am 🙄) sorting though mail and reorganizing and filing things away. The amount of wasted paper is bonkers! I’m minimizing what I save and putting “going electronic” with as many statements as I can on my to-do list for next…

  • 2019-03-22 Deadlines

    (Not a Work Rant.. thank goodness!) Why are deadlines called deadlines and why must we always be setting them? From now on when I start something new, I am going to stuve to have only goals with finishlines -or- how about coastlines instead?! The truth is, I love starting new things and sometimes don’t get…

  • 2019-03-21 Downhill Slide + 10 Random Things

    We’re finally on the downhill slide to the weekend and I know I do a better job of planning to get some rest and relaxation than actually doing it, but it feels like this weekend might actually be the first “low key, no commitment” one that I have had in a while. Now if only…

  • 2019-03-20 Is it Friday Yet⁉️✅✅✳️‼️

    Ummmm… no. I’m definitely feeling that mid week “pile up” where more things are being added to the list than are actually getting done. In true SugarCookie form, I have an actual list to prove it. This week I’m crossing the finish line with my house closing, beginning to transfer ownership of my main project…

  • 2019-03-18 Rapid Recap

    Some days I have a specific thing that pops in my head that I want to write about. Some days I’ve got so many thoughts I don’t know where to start. And most days once I start I never know where to stop. Typically that’s dictated by my running out of time. Shocking right?! Some…

  • 2019-03-16 Tempting Fate and Thumbing My Nose at “The Ides”

    As predicted nothing ever goes as predicted. Chew on that sentence for a hot minute. This is true for what I “thought” might happen on Thursday when I met with my boss. I was as ready as one could be but as fate would have it, he didn’t ask me how things were going. I…

  • 2019-03-14 Go Time

    Well .. folks.. something in my gut tells me that today is the day I’ll be pulling the trigger on initiating the tough conversation with my bosses that has been building for quite some time. I really wasn’t planning on it until next week but the timing and other factors have aligned and it feels…

  • 2019-03-13 Leaps of Faith

    Yesterday turned out to be a good day despite all of the anxiety that I am feeling around things going on with work and with my house. After I wrote out what I was feeling about the upcoming conversation I’m going to have with my boss (or bosses ) about my involvement in various projects…
