    Goals and Intentions for 2025

    January 22, 2025 - By 

    Hello again, readers! Here we are, a few weeks into the new year, and perhaps the shine has already begun to wear off a little for some of you. I know that we are now over a week past what is now dubbed “Quitter’s Day”, the day when most average folks give up those fabulous New Year’s resolutions they made with such high hopes. I am also aware than many people who have slightly more realistic expectations don’t make resolutions but do set some time aside to reflect on ways to improve themselves going forward. In recent years, I have…

    A Brand New, Shiny Year

    January 9, 2020 - By 

    Ah, hello there, poor neglected blog and readers! I bet you thought I’d completely forgotten you and would never return! But no, I have thought of writing so very many times, and I simply kept talking myself out of it. The longer I am away, the harder it always seems to return. It is tricky to think of just how to begin again. But here I am at last, ready to dust off my writing cap and try it anyway, awkward as these new beginnings always are. Since it is the early part of the new year, I am still…

    Goals, Habits and Intentions for 2019: Wellness Wednesday

    January 8, 2019 - By 

    Welcome back to Wellness Wednesdays here at Tuning Hearts! I have been slow to return to the blog since the holidays, but I hope to be more consistent in posting as the new year gets under way. I have decided to dial back my Wellness Wednesday link-up posts to one per month. Let’s plan to meet here every second Wednesday of the month and link up your wholistic health and wellness posts! This will not only give me to more time to think and write on relevant topics, but it will also give me more time I read and comment…

    Rhythms and Routines #fiveminutefriday

    March 23, 2018 - By 

    I could go in so many different directions with this week’s “routine” prompt! (Which means I should probably think about doing some posts on related topics!) But I think I’ll stick with why I love rhythms and routines as a non-type A personality and as a mom of young children. I used to try to create a schedule with times to do specific things during my days. This never, ever, ever, ever worked for me! I could not stick to a schedule for more than one day, if I could even get through that first day at all! So I thought I…

    Taking the Next Step

    March 7, 2018 - By 

    Sometimes life takes an unexpected turn that sends us reeling, wondering how to take the next step. That’s what happened last week when we found out our house sale was not going to happen. After all the planning we had set in motion, we found ourselves back at square one, not sure what to do next. For several days I felt like I was just wandering aimlessly around the house, in a total fog. Yes, I was doing the necessary things to keep the household running, but beyond that, I had no sense of direction. What can we do when…
