The Best piece of ADVICE I’ve received is to be GRATEFUL…My MOM gave it to me, but also LIFE taught me to be grateful, every day for EVERYTHING. — Mika Schneider

Do A Skills Audit

Posted on January 25, 2023 by msw blog

If you are in business, you know about the SWOT analysis. SWOT stands for strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Do your own SWOT analysis: Write down your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. While I am proficient at reading financial statements, I know I’m not great at math. As a result, I steer away from projects that require deep number skills. However, I’m strong at identifying market trends. If your company is going through a reorganization, that might give you an opportunity to present your accomplishments. As for threats, are you happy with your health and weight? There are also digital tools, at sites like UnderstandMyself.com and RichardStep.com, that can help you identify your best traits. Some of them may validate what you already know, but you may also uncover hidden talents and skills.

Tea Towel Curtains

Dress your windows quickly and smartly with tea towels turned into cafe curtains. Simply clip drapery rings to the top edges of the towels, and thread the rings onto a curtain rod. If necessary, trim the towels to length and hem them using a sewing machine or iron-on fusible webbing for a no-sew option. You’ll want the curtains to hang down to the windowsill, so mount the rod accordingly.

If you have a double-hung window, position the rod so the top edge of the curtain lines up with the sash.

Rely on Pets and Friends

Posted on January 24, 2023 by msw blog

This is a particularly bad time for me. I do not have any family. My husband died of dementia about 6 years ago. I am losing a close friend to cognitive issues and another to cancer. I am the cranky old lady who lives alone with a wonderful dog and few friends. Family is the “F” word! The loneliness is acute and although it will always be present, it is omnipresent when the holidays arrive! –Nancy Fisher, Seattle
