Christmas Holiday To Do List – October

Checking the List Twice

The idea of no drama is what my slow and steady has become these past few years. Nothing makes me happier than a list so I’m loving my Holiday To Do List. If you missed September Holiday To DO List it’s here for you.

Had a question about Deep Cleaning. Deep cleaning is to get the corners clean so when needed, you dust, vacuum and ready to go. It’s true many hands make light work, other’s live in the house? Pick a day, afternoon, weekend and everyone helps, it’s everyone’s holiday, not just yours. Make a plan. See The Quilt Ladies Etsy Shop

The Anxiety of Anxiety when you need a bit more

My Journey of Self-Care and Slowing Down Being everything to everyone is what I call, “Tap dancing to please others.” I have stopped dancing, stopped making others happy first, and have undertaken the project of me by doing the work to understand my health and well-being. Fewer panic attacks, stopped re-living each day every night as sleep would not come, and how care for myself finally made anxiety step back from my day-to-day life.
