Happy New Year!! I hope you are so excited for this new year and a new chapter! How many people are participating in World Carnivore Month? What does that look like for you this month?
What is your non-negotiable for this year? This is more than just a New Year's Resolution.... setting resolutions and goals can be motivating at first but often that motivation quickly fades. , What is the one simple thing you are going to focus on this year to help keep you on track day after day after day, even when the excitement of the new year is long gone. The goal is long term health and wellness, what is so something simple you can focus on all year to help you achieve that goal?
I an so proud of each and every one of you for last year and just showing up, even even things didn't go as planned. I cannot wait to see all you can accomplish this year!!!

Cheese is good! I ate a block of chipotle oven baked cheese with lunch yesterday and it was divine. I love it, but know that it halts any progress I'm making, and will even trigger eating in excess to where I'll gain weight. It's sad but I have accepted it. If I eat it in small quantities with a meal, it's ok, but I really have to work to keep it in check.
What's your favorite cheese? How do you incorporate it? Do you see negative results when eating it?
Happy Sunday! Sharing a video today from our week, one of the highlights. This was Wednesday evening church, normally they have a more casual prayer meeting where someone plays the guitar, but they were doing some construction in the fellowship hall so they had their prayer meeting in the sanctuary. No one was there to play the piano so my my Grandma did it, she's been playing the piano in church for probably 80 years.
For context, she's 88, she had a really bad fall 5 years ago now and hit her head and ended up with a lot setbacks, similar to having a stroke. She has a lot of dementia like symptoms also (I am sure related to her Type 2 diabetes), she really can't read music anymore, and she has trouble seeing well, and she needs to wear hearing aids to hear but hates wearing them, so on this night she didn't want to wear them. My 93 (almost 94) year old grandpa takes care of both of them on their farm. Anyway, on this night she sat down on the piano and led worship as people called ...
Happy Saturday! I hope you are all doing well. I know some people in the group have had some recent tough news for themselves or family members. It really puts the day to day issues we face into perspective, and reminds me to just focus on doing the best I can to be as healthy as possible. To those who are having a hard time, we are all here for you and sending you some prayers and support. 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Just focus today on doing the best you can and remember that food isn't going to bring you the comfort you are looking for.
Here is a little video of Penelopes performance from her piano recital l last night, she's been taking lessons for about a year and a half. 🎹🤍🖤

New Year's Eve!! My brother's family flies home this morning and Chris is leaving for a couple days at the same time. We've had a very wonderful visit with everyone. My Mom is still staying for a few more days. Today I am taking down all the Christmas decorations and giving the house a deep clean. That's my favorite thing to do post Christmas, just give the house a big reset. Have you put your Christmas decorations away yet?
Today is the last day of 2025!! New Year's is a wild time in Arizona and there will be fireworks all night long, I always go to bed early New Year's Eve but the midnight fireworks always wake us up for a while.
What are your plans for New Year's Eve? Tomorrow we'll set some goals for 2026!! Happy New Year!!
Happy New Year's Eve Family! Praying you all are safe while celebrating. Find your sweetie to hug/kiss at midnight.
Today was another slow day but I was able to listen in on conversations about more complex jobs that I don't do yet (learning by osmosis?) And I was given a small extra task for Friday. And eventually I will have a year's worth of bookkeeping to do for an ag business man. I know, only too well, what it's like to have a year's worth of data to enter. This is hitting a little too close to home. LOL (Thankfully, I have our personal books caught up to November 2025.) So I'm looking forward to being a little more busy next week. If not, I have the link now to do the training & testing and get QuickBooks certified.
We went into the city after I got off work to finish our stock up shopping that we didn't get done on Saturday.
Only paper & cleaning products for me. We didn't even find anything Christmas clearance to get.
Supper out at the sports bar to watch a disappointing loss for the ...
