we recommend: "Dedicate" A 30-Day Yoga Journey

4/18/2019

Okay, guys, we all know running a business can be stressful. And we've talked about before how taking the time for self-care is SOOOOO important. Well, have I got something for you!!!

For the past month or so, I’ve been doing this FREE 30-Day Yoga challenge, and it has been AMAZING. IMPORTANT NOTE: Prior to this journey, I had only taken a few beginning classes here and there, and I still consider myself a newbie, so please don't be scared at the thought of trying this out if you have never done yoga before. 

Here's how it works...it doesn’t cost anything to sign up, and every day you get an email with a link to a brand new Yoga video, taught by this incredible instructor named Adriene. Most days the video is somewhere between 20-30 min long (first couple of days are a little longer because there is a lot of explaining and teaching going on), but the instructor is SO kind and gentle and truly a God-send. Some days are a bit more challenging (I found I had to take a few extra breaks and just spend a little more time in child’s pose), and some are easier.

But after only 30 days, I already feel SO much stronger, so much more connected, so much more calm. I have a tendency to be a bit of a workaholic, and a people-pleaser, and (as discussed earlier) I’m FINALLY figuring out how important it is that I make time for MYSELF...and this has been a good excuse/way/means to do so. I have no choice but to concentrate on ME during this special time each day. It has been SO incredibly helpful. I highly recommend checking it out.

And like I said, it’s totally free!!! Ya can’t beat that! 😁❤️🧘🏼‍♀️

I Am Mantra, delivered straight to your inbox!

2/10/2019

Today I thought I would share one of the absolute BEST things being delivered to my inbox right now...and it's called I AM Mantra! It's a simple email containing a DAILY MANTRA, designed to "support you & your awakening," delivered straight to your inbox. I subscribed a couple of months ago, and I absolutely LOVE it!! It's crazy how much I actually look forward to finding it in my inbox each morning. :-)

As far as what to do with it after you receive it each morning, that's up to you. There really is no right or wrong way to "do" a mantra. But here are some suggestions from their website:
"I AM Mantra is designed to offer you daily mantras & wisdom for you to reflect upon, to contemplate, to meditate upon and also to take with you into your day to assist you in living a more Conscious, Peaceful and Empowered Life....Say the Mantra, Sing the Mantra, say it once, repeat it multiple times, write it on a piece of paper and hang it up so you can be reminded; meditate with it; pray with it; share it with your family; do art work about it; use it in whatever way that feels inspiring to you to embrace the truth held within ‘Today’s Mantra’."
So what do I do with MY daily mantra? I copy and paste it into my OmniFocus as a daily task/reminder, and each time I go to OmniFocus to check my tasks for the day, I read it and repeat it, out loud (unless I'm with other people, then I do it silently so they don't think I'm completely off my rocker). I also repeat it a few more times just before I go to bed each night. It's really been a comfort to me, and it helps me keep things in perspective and stay focused on what's "important" throughout my day...especially when I start to get stressed or I am feeling particularly overwhelmed.

And guess what....not only is it a fabulous service, it's FREE!! Yep, that's right. Totally free. Since I have now been using a couple of months, and I have seen firsthand the immense benefits, I did decide to make a small donation on their website (which helps them keep doing what they are doing), but it is not required.

SPARK MAIL - fall in love with email again!

1/26/2019

Comments

 
I came across Spark Mail while searching for a replacement for Newton (my previous email service which suddenly went belly-up this past year); and OMG, I am so, SOOOOO happy that I found it!! ​
Picture
Spark is AMAZING! It does everything my old service did (except for read receipts, which does bum me out…I am really hoping they add it in the future???), but it also does so much more!

First of all, I absolutely LOVE how intuitive it is, and the features they do have are simply incredible! In addition to Geek Girls in Vegas, I manage several other business (my solo jazz career, Dangerous Curves vocal trio, the Shades of Sinatra show, and all the performing I do with my husband), as well as a couple of different websites/groups (Gluten Free in Las Vegas website and the Las Vegas Celiac Support Group), which all had out-of-control email counts. But now, with a little help from Spark Mail, I have somehow managed to organize it all and actually get to INBOX ZERO for the first time in years!!

They make it so easy to file away emails (even moving messages to other email accounts from right within the app), respond quickly and easily with helpful shortcuts, add messages to Omnifocus so I can respond later and file away, write a response and schedule for later sending, create templates for responses I write often, etc, etc. I particularly LOVE the layout and the "Smart Mail" feature, which makes it incredibly easy to know what's important and what isn't with just a glance. A few other features I love:
​
  • I can quickly create custom signatures for every email account
  • I can specify which inboxes I get notifications from and which I don’t!
  • They have an awesome snooze feature (which I can completely customize for quick processing)
  • I can quickly PIN important messages so I can get back to them later and not forget.
  • It automatically suggests where to file an email (based on previous filing habits), along with 3 or 4 other options right at the top.
  • I can view my calendar right inside the app!!
  • And so much more…

And here’s the kicker…all of those features are FREE! No subscription. Can I get a “what-what??” 

I seriously, I love, love, LOVE this email service! I have it on my Mac, my phone and my iPad, and it all syncs seamlessly!! Thank you Spark Mail...PLEASE don't ever, EVER go away!!!

Paste App for mac...huge time saver!

10/10/2017

Okay, if you are anything like me, you probably copy and paste a MILLION things each day...on your laptop, on your desktop, on your phone...wherever. Simple copy/paste can be a HUGE timesaver...that is, when I can be completely focused, and I always do things in the right order, and I don't ever get distracted when I'm working. HA!!!!! Yeah, right. ;-/ More often than not, I will copy something I want to paste, but the I forget and end up copying something else, like a link to go along with the text, then I have to go back and try to find the original text...and what if I want to copy more than one item, but I don't know the order I want to put them in yet? Or what if I copied something last week, but now I want to paste it again, but I can't remember where I found it...OMG, I am getting a headache!!!

Well, no more worries. Enter, PASTE...a truly incredible, cloud-based clipboard manager that lives right on your desktop and works flawlessly!!!

Not only does it work on your desktop, but it works across all devices!!! I can actually copy something on my phone and, as long as I am on the same network, it will automatically add it to the clipboard manager on my desktop...um, so freakin' cool!! It has a search feature and tons of options/preferences  to choose from. At only $9.99 from the Mac app store, it is absolutely WORTH IT!! You can read a great review from the website 9To5Mac HERE or you can visit the PASTE website by clicking the button below...

Anyone who knows me, knows that I am a SUCKER for productivity apps! I absolutely LOVE trying out new apps in the hope that they will somehow make me oh-so-much-more organized today than I was yesterday. Well, I gotta tell you, I am completely in LOVE with the all-new Things 3 app, for IOS and Mac!! It seriously does EVERYTHING I want it to...flawlessly...and it is absolutely gorgeous on top of that!! Check out this great review by Ryan Christoffel at MacStories.net...he does an excellent job of explaining the main features and reviewing all the pros and cons:
READ FULL REVIEW
Word of warning: the app is not cheap. At almost $10 for the iPhone app, $20 for the iPad, and $50 for the Mac version, you'd better be sure you love it as much as I do before you decide to invest. Fortunately, they have a FREE TRIAL for the desktop app, which you can get here: ​https://culturedcode.com/things/ But be prepared...you're gonna LOVE IT!

FRIDAY FAVORITES: The WONDERSHARE video converter app.

3/6/2015

 
I am in geek heaven right now! I am editing some video with my Wondershare video converter app on my Mac. It generates a QR code at the end of the conversion so you can beam the finished product to your iOS device in seconds using the Wondershare's sister IOS app, Wondershare Player! (Link is here) Wow!! From the Mac to the phone just like that. So cool. Great for working on client videos on the fly. Edit them in Wondershare and beam them right to a device. Looks like there are PC and Android versions too...
