I am happy to report that I shared a great weekend at the beach with my family, started reading book number three in my eternal list of books to read.
Now I am home and am contemplative of so many things. There is much I'd like to jump into; however, I am moving very slowly. I've already done so many things, jumped into each of them, only to find I didn't have the time I wish I had to give my full power to them.
Who doesn't want to be a woman that does it all? I'm figuring out HOW TO so I can share my experience when I start my (coming) podcast.
But just to keep my brain rattling, I signed up for a Coursera program called Principles of Obesity Economics offered by Johns Hopkins University. I'll bet you can guess why. I am going to fail this class because I started past deadline (didn't understand the start date due to vague emails sent) and I am flunking the quizzes. I can retake all the quizzes but I decided I wouldn't. The most important reason for me in taking this course is to understand the way economists, consumers, businesses and governments view the model of obesity...and to figure out where and what the incentives are for each mentioned party. I'm understanding well, even though I'm failing quizzes, and I'm taking a lot from the lectures...most of them get my brain clicking and my hopes swirling. I don't even feel like a failure and I'm failing. It's funny. And fun to learn.
I've signed up for a number of nutrition and food-based courses offered by different universities through this website and I am pretty excited to learn more and more.
And by the time I get my home space in order and feel content with the direction of my personal diet and exercise, I'll be happy to get the podcast going and share all sorts of findings via the program. I have thought about it...and I could be ambitious and push myself to do, do, do. I'm pretty good at doing that. But, I'd rather stick around to go, go, go...and not burn out too quickly.
Also, I'm seeking the advice of a few other people who will help me be an even better Wendy - by which I mean business woman. More focused. More disciplined. More fun. More happy. More accomplished. (Yay!)
Doing more by doing less? I'll take it and I will love it! So will you.
