I live by these planning approaches:
Fail to plan, plan to fail. ~ Brian , 👊🏽Toned U p💪 🏽 on Bravo!❗️ Plan to work, work to plan. ~ Alex , Carpenter from 🏡Treehouse Masters 🌳 on 🦁APL🌎
Here’s my organizational strategy:
Map out day (night before ) 🕯💡🛣🌃🌉
Visualize : Pray🙏🏽 ☝🏽️✌🏽️ 👓🌈Exercise💓💞 👣👟🏋 Breakfast ☕️🍊🍳🍞🧀 Tackle the tough things 1st 🏉🏈🏅🎖🏆
~ adapted from Forbes ‘ most successful people
A couple of my Catholic brothers have made these remarks about planning (paraphrased):
How do you make GOD laugh? Tell Him your plans! ~ Danny Barrera , JD 👔What’s the point of planning? It takes up more time! ~ Capt. Kirk
While I’m an advocate for daily game planning to help us establish order in our lives, our plans don’t work unless we
know that we can’t implement them singlehandedly, and
that our ultimate goal is to follow GOD’s perfect plan 👏🏽🙌🏽
3:33 ~ make a wish … or, actually: a †prayer !!! ✌

Pope Francis take * on how home influences our faith [my commentary in brackets]:
“Faith opens a ‘window’ to the presence and working of the Spirit. It shows us that, like happiness, holiness is always tied to little gestures.
‘Whoever gives you a cup of water in my name will not go unrewarded,’ Jesus says (Mark 9:41).
“These little gestures are those we learn at home, in the family; they get lost amid all the other things we do, yet they do make each day different. They are the quiet things done by mothers and grandmothers, by fathers and grandfathers , by children, by brothers and sisters . They are little signs of tenderness, affection, and compassion.
“Like the warm supper we look forward to at night [my mom ‘s homecooking ], the early meal awaiting someone who gets up early to go to work [my dad ‘s coffee ].
“Homely gestures.
“Love is shown by little things, by attention to small daily signs that make us feel at home. Faith grows when it is lived and shaped by love. That is why our families, our homes, are true domestic churches. They are the right place for faith to become life and life to grow in faith.”
*Pope Francis in the U.S.: Words of Mercy and Hope (2015), Daughters of St. Paul, pp. 22-23 ~ as said at the Closing Mass of the Eighth World Meeting of Families , Benjamin Franklin Parkway, Philadelphia, PA, Sunday, September 27, 2015.
^– I actually used this passage as my pre-brunch prayer of grace with my parents today! –^
Bearing in mind these homely gestures, let’s also consider our cultures and upbringings…
Have you ever wondered why your parents act the way they do then realize that you’re turning out more like them as you grow up?

Happy Feast Day of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton
This educator was my favorite saint growing up. In my own childhood Catechism class , I first heard this ♪song♫ (Matthew 6:33 ) when we watched a video about her life…

With my own dreams of helping establish a Ca†holic school in my hometown, I look to St. Elizabeth for inspiration and seek her intercession.
