Your Life Story In Six Words Or Less

by Uncustomary | May 16, 2012 | Uncategorized | 0 comments

My awesome friend, Janice’s first summer school assignment is to write her life story in six words or less. It’s obviously pretty hard to do, but it’s interesting what you can come up with.

I’ve decided mine would be: “It’s all about dazzle, so far“

What would yours be??

I love using the weird time at the end of the year I love using the weird time at the end of the year (where time can feel fake) to reflect and plan. 💭📒

I made a whole episode about the steps I use and shared pictures and processes! 📽️🎙️

Do you do anything to look back on the past year? ⤵️

I have this workbook I made over a decade ago. I s I have this workbook I made over a decade ago. I sit down and I flip through my 🔸phone’s notepad, 🔸photos, 🔸screenshots, 🔸playlists, 🔸happy journals, 🔸everything...

And what ends up happening every 👏 year 👏 is I end up feeling better about the year than I went in feeling about it.

It feels fuller and more accomplished. More alive and it boosts my self-esteem.

This year (for the record) fckingscked for me. I didn’t get to do SO many things I wanted to do. The level of tragedy and pain is beyond belief. 

BUT! when I sat down with my workbook, I looked back at my lists and I was like — oh hey! It clearly wasn’t all bad!!

It’s not toxic positivity. Frankly, it’s necessary. Especially on years like this.

Cuz if you would have asked me how this year was I would have laughed in your face.

But now I get to remember all the good things.
It’s a counter balance. 

If you wanna get the workbook I’ve been using for over a decade plus 30 other resources for ninety-eight percentttt off you can

🪩 reflection lessons, 📒 my personal workbook, 📹 workshops, 👆 tapping session, 🧘‍♀️ meditation, 🥳 unhinged New Year’s Eve ideas, 🎶 playlist, 🎯 goal-setting frameworks, and a 🏫 cozy resource hub you can revisit anytime

Happy Candy Cane Day! ❤️🤍 Candy canes originated Happy Candy Cane Day! ❤️🤍

Candy canes originated in Germany in the 1600s as straight sugar sticks that got bent into shepherds crooks because a choir master wanted them to represent the nativity scene and handed them out to the kids during the Christmas church service to keep them quiet. 🤫 

They got popular in America in the mid 1800s when a German immigrant brought them over and used them as 🎄 tree decorations!

We didn’t get the traditional 🍬 peppermint flavor as the standard until the 1900s. They made a machine in 1921 that could automate the flavor!

Candy Cane Day 🗓️ was instituted the day after Christmas as a way to promote using up any leftovers.

Now we have so many flavors. Some are crazy like bacon, pickle, and jalapeño! 🥓🥒🌶️

I like the starburst ones. 🌈

Which are what I handed out 🎁 along with cute notes 🔖 attached at the Kennedy Kreiger Festival Of Trees for my 🎈 11K Acts Of Merriment Project!
