This year I have continued to work and volunteer more, so I have still had less time for blogging. I love the ways I spend my time but miss blogging!

Life Hack: I recently had
my colors done and I have slowly been getting rid of things in shades that aren't my best as well as adding in new things. I am a Soft Autumn for those who speak the lingo.

The concepts of this book are worth five stars. Making sure that we apologize in a way that the other person hears an apology is truly important. However, this book has many, many examples and could be condensed down quite a bit. (Some of the examples are questionable/poorly chosen and could trigger people in ways where they completely miss the point of the book.)The audiobook is a condensed version, but I learned most of what I needed from a good podcast where Jennifer Thomas was interviewed. Three stars for the book and five stars for the ideas.
In a nutshell:
1. Expressing regrets (I am sorry)
2. Accepting responsibility (I was wrong)
3. Making restitution (what can I do to make it right?)
4. Genuinely Repenting (I will try not to do that again.)
5. Requesting forgiveness (Will you please forgive me?)
Life Project: We have a kitchen project going with new counters, cabinets and floors. Exciting to make it look refreshed! Love this
Olive Grove color going on the new cabinets.
What we are eating today: Skinny Chicken Alfredo (one of the recipes from
my 40 new ones in 2016)! The version I make is not on that site anymore, but
this one is close!
