It’s February. A new month. Groundhog Day, Valentine’s Day, Presidents’ Day. February is just full of reasons to celebrate. When I lived in Minnesota half a lifetime ago, I used to look forward to February 1st because it always seemed to be 20 degrees warmer than the day before.

Buttontapper Challenge: Day 31
31. Lessons Learned – Tell us what you learned this month, from examining your goals, dreams and behavior. What will you do differently next month? First lesson: The only way I got as many posts done as I did was that I started ahead of time and scheduled posts into the future. The reason: I received aContinue reading “Buttontapper Challenge: Day 31”
Buttontapper Challenge: Day 20
20. Notable Quotable – Share a quote that inspires you! The quotes that most inspire me come from women–no big surprise there. They come from women of color, though I am not one.

16. Partners – The buddy system worked in grade school, so why not now? Who’s your buddy for accountability, inspiration, or motivation? I hate to admit it, but I don’t have a partner to keep me accountable. Do you want to be my buddy? Photo credit: Katie Treadway

Mentors – Do you have any past (or present) mentors? Tell us a little bit about them!

Coaches – Who are some of the people who have coached you to success along the way? Answering this question could take some time. And will be long. There are so many, though I’m sure not all the people I’ve learned from would consider themselves my coaches or even know they passed on lessons. Mom andContinue reading “Buttontapper Challenge: Day 12”
Buttontapper Challenge: Day 11
Digital or Analog? – Are you more into digital or analog systems for keeping up with everything in your life? Why? This is a no brainer. Digital all the way. That’s why I tried the Fitbit. I had hoped it would capture the information on my activity so that I wouldn’t have to keep up transferringContinue reading “Buttontapper Challenge: Day 11”
Buttontapper Challenge: Day 10
Tools – What kinds of tools do you use to help with your self-improvement goals? I’ve tried a lot of tools. Everything works for awhile. But none do the work for me. For tracking my heath, I’ve tried the following: Pedometers and Fitbit for tracking activity related to health goals.
