Peak of the Week -8-14-19-

August 14, 2019 by Sharon

I’m home from a great trip and back into my routine for a week- we leave again soon!! I need a routine. I flounder when I don’t have a schedule. My morning run and walk with Scout was just what I needed!!

It’s the Peak of the Week- never Hump Day!! Here are things piquing my interest this week!!

Fab Fit Fun– Go here for $10 off!!
Have you tried Fab Fit Fun? I took the plunge this summer, and I loved my first box! The great thing is that every product is full size!! I got some good stuff! Here are just a few things–

Box is beautiful!

I’ve been wanting to try these!

Do You Feel In Charge Of Your Life?— I receive Maria Shriver’s Sunday Paper every Sunday morning in my email. I love to read what she has to say!! A week ago she shared a conversation she had with a friend who was scared to make some changes at work!

Singing Donkey– I think I’ve written before about my love of donkeys. It is a life goal to someday have a donkey- named Mr. Darcey. If I move back to Texas, I will have one in the pasture in front of the house!! They are fascinating creatures!! I love this singing donkey story!!!

We sure missed this little Pup while we were gone!!

How To Live Your Life– Have I told you that I do surveys for the NYT? I received an email one day asking if I wanted to read articles for them and then take surveys- Of course, I did!!
 This article doesn’t have anything to do with that- just thought I’d share!!
 This article from the NYT asking people to give advice about life- it is definitely worth the read!!!

A Women’s Greatest Enemy- Lack of Time For Herself-– I can so relate to this article. Some women make sure that they take time for themselves. The one area that I made sure I made time for myself while raising my kids was my running. They knew it was what I did, and my whole family supported it. Sometimes I ran early sometimes I met a friend to run at 9:00 at night, but we still ran! This article really made me think about history and what we may have missed out on by women not having time to indulge their creativity! Interesting thoughts in this one!!!
