The hardest part about writing this particular blog post is narrowing down my flow of positive thoughts. It's a wonderful "problem" to have! I'm writing this post from Maui where I am attending the Vitally You Retreat and facilitating 50 Fun Things. When you give yourself time for thought by slowing down and being present, your inner guidance systems take over. Here are a few things I am learning from Kim Julen, our retreat leader about tapping into our inner guidance systems

You would think it would be an easy choice between working or having fun, right? Not for me! 50 Fun Things changed how I think about what I

50 Fun Things is about opening up our lives for fulfillment. But when we think about making a shift, fears may arise. Here's a twist...

After a one-to-one 50 Fun Things consultation, I have shifted my fun gears into overdrive and the value of the joy has become exponential.

Written by 50 Fun Things Alum, Michael Thomas Sunnarborg Distracted enough? I thought so. Seriously. With the onslaught of information, links, videos, emails, text messages, and everyone competing for our attention, we’re lucky if we can get through our to-do lists each day. Maybe it’s just me, but it feels like our lives just keep getting busier. And how do we know which of our distractions are adding to our happiness or draining our energy tank? Simple. We start paying atte

Written by 50 Fun Things Alumna, Ann Aubitz Recently a woman came up to me at an event and in a loud voice said: “Oh wow, you are actually in town, you’re never here!” For a moment I felt a twinge of guilt until I remembered that my traveling is very intentional for me. A year ago, April 29th, 2018 to be exact, I took the “50 Fun Things” class. Teresa (the founder of 50 Fun Things) kindly suggested it. I was in a funk and she knew it. My oldest brother passed away in Septembe

Written by 50 Fun Things Alumna, Camille Sowle 50 Fun Things through Women In Networking (WIN) has definitely been a catalyst for me and my passion projects this year. After attending WIN events, I leave full of energy and ready to take action on my projects. I actually created a podcast after a WIN event too. Come to think of it, most of my blogs/vlogs/videos/podcasts were recorded just after a WIN event because my energy is so high! My main passion project was posting weekl

When I created my 50 Fun Things™ List for 2018, I never could have expected this... Some of the things I had written on my 50 Fun Things™ List were "Travel at least once a quarter" and "Cool work gigs in warm, delightful places." It was scary to write it down; it still felt too out-of-reach. After all, I had rarely vacationed since my kids were born and it had been 20 years since I had the chance to work in a warm, delightful destination. I worried about embarrassing myself

Written by 50 Fun Things Alumna, Beth Giles The Power of Speaking Your Wish Out Loud I'm already taking action on some things that felt really big on my 50 Fun Things chart! It was just a few months ago when I participated in the 50 Fun Things workshop. We were encouraged to think big about what we really want. I thought about how I'd love to teach Nia in an exotic place. I also about how I've always wanted to visit Hawaii. I'm beyond excited to announce that these two big dr

In September, I presented 50 Fun Things: Moxie, Motivation, and Momentum at the Women of Words 9th Annual Writers' Conference. The stories and prompts shared in this presentation were especially tailored for authors to reclaim their writing mojo and momentum, helping them envision what their lives as authors would truly look and feel like. The list below is inspired by what we brainstormed together in this workshop. Even if you don't consider yourself an author - even if you'

Regardless of your political or social views, we live in a world where unsettling news stories, divisive politics, and a constant battery of information can leave us feeling rattled and overwhelmed. In the face of so much large-scale drama, our own needs can feel very small and unimportant. Maybe you think your own well-being doesn't make a difference, but I'm here to tell you that it does. In fact, I'd argue that if you're eager to see the world change, the only place to sta

The holidays are considered the "Season of Giving," but many of us feel too overwhelmed during this time to do the good deeds we intend to. Making a plan to do good after the holiday hustle and bustle has ended not only helps you extend your warm holiday glow, it provides support when people still need it most. As I write this, we’re in the middle of yet another Black Friday. As companies struggle to get customers in the door earlier and earlier every year, it feels like the

“Fun doesn’t have to mean “Wahoo!”-screaming-on-a-rollercoaster-fun. Fun can be your favorite cup of tea greeting you in the morning. Fun can be the simple things you look forward to each day.” – Sharole T Hawkens, 50 Fun Things alumna and divorce thriver Divorce comes with painful and negative connotations and often the positive side of divorce is overlooked. As I’ve adjusted from my own divorce and observed how others have successfully managed life post-divorce, there are s
