NATIONAL TAKE A CHANCE DAY

Every year on April 23rd, National Take a Chance Day encourages us to break out of our comfort zone.

#NationalTakeAChanceDay

Many of us have dreams or goals which have gone unfulfilled. Could today be the day to make even one of these dreams or goals a reality?

What’s on your list to accomplish? Maybe it’s learning a new language, learning how to fish, learning how to ride a motorcycle, the list goes on.

Do you have an even bigger goal on your bucket list? Why not book a trip to an exciting place and have a real adventure?

1. Write down a time you took a chance and it paid off .

2. Challenge yourself and someone else to take a chance with you in completing a dream.

3. Share on social media using #NationalTakeAChanceDay

As for me, I will be doing a few things from my list. In March 2023, I started my own business. Osmera Ascending Solutions‘ main goal is to help companies ascend into creative solutions, by assisting them with writing newsletters, and blog posts with both short-term and long SEO (Search Engine Optimization), and social media content engagement.

I plan on taking a motorcycle riding class, finally going to the sheriff’s office and getting my concealed carry permit. These are just a few things on my list.

Today I encourage you to challenge yourself and take that chance.

Gaining My Barrings For A Great December

December 2019 is upon us. The end of another decade and the beginning of new things.

This time of year really can throw some people into a state of panick and anxiety. Worrying about where to buy gifts, what to get for that speacial someone and money, money, money.

This year I want to challenge everyone reading this to have a better December this year then in years past.

Planning

Recently I found an article by Marelisa Fábrega, owner of “Daring to Live Fully” titled; How To Have An Organized Christmas – Create A December Planner.

Usually my calendar is full of events, deadlines, birthdays and more. Planner? I’ve never kept a planner for being organized. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

With today’s technology everything is in my phone or tablet and written on my main calendar at home.

When I start out the month the first thing I do is add birthday celebrations. My husbands is on December third, then my youngest grandsons is on the twenty-seventh.

Next thing on my list decorating for Christmas. Seems stupid I know; however I’d rather plan to do it early then realize later I forgot to do it at all.

Between working a full time job, writing, taking care of my husband, and all the other things I must do planning works!

Organization

Baking, shopping, parties and the list goes on. Along with planning out my month, the need for being organized screams out at me.

My husband is always on me about mt list. “Where’s your list at”? He asks as we are walking down an isle. I used to smile and tell him; “Don’t worry it’s right here” while pointing to my head. Of course after we’ve gotten home, it’s then I realize what I’d forgotten.

Now if I don’t make either a paper list or use a handy mobile application like Cool Memo and To Do Tasks.

Self ❤ Care

Always make time for yourself! Even if it’s drinking coffee in your favorite Christmas mug, getting your nails or hair done at the salon. Make time for you!

Afterall if you are not grounded yourself know one would get through December much less all the holidays it includes.

Rewards

Make a Rewards Bucket List. As you’re accomplishing tasks throw in a reward for yourself. Maybe a “movie day with the kids” or “date night with your honey”.

Reward lists are alot like a bucket list. Cross off each one as you go.

Finally

Enjoy time with your family. Be happy, loving, caring and most of all thankful to have those you love around you.

Have a great December!

Hello January, Goodbye 2018

Happy New Year Everyone!

As 2018 is now over, my wish for you is to have courage, hope and faith to overcome any obsticals that may come your way.

Find joy in the everyday things not just the happy moments.

Have peace with yourself and with life. Without peace there’s no happiness. Without happiness no joy, without joy there is only sadness and hate.

This year in 2019 show love, be happy, love and care about your fellow man.

Resolutions are fine to have; however according to an article I found in Very Well Mind only 9% of people keep their resolutions.

Do you have any resolutions for this new year?

Happy New Year.
