I updated my website - teresastreit.com. Check it out and report back if you haven't seen it. I also updated this wix page, my instagram and tiktok profiles. All the fun things. Now I am to the point of reflection for a few minutes before I rush off to our new gym. If you haven't met me or read any of my posts, here's something about me. I have a lot running through my mind on a regular basis and I like to share some of...]]></description><link>https://teresastreit.wixsite.com/teresastreit/post/54-making-room-for-what-comes-next</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a8caf6b8c800d51388cfd0f</guid><pubDate>Tue, 25 Aug 2026 23:26:35 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Teresa Streit</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[one more thing]]></title><description><![CDATA[Have you ever thought, "I'll just fix this one thing" and it turned into a complete re-do? That's pretty much me with everything. I wrote that line yesterday. I sat down to my computer to write a post and decided to change the name of my website. The original name was "Gloria - My Mom" as a method of grounding myself. What I realized is we all have a story that most people might never know. We build one block at a time and sometimes we tear the whole thing down and start over time after time....]]></description><link>https://teresastreit.wixsite.com/teresastreit/post/one-more-thing</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a859c0735e255971cd446ff</guid><pubDate>Thu, 20 Aug 2026 11:20:41 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/f6dbd4_a929d43bac004fd0944385da0f485e9c~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_768,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Teresa Streit</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[ask for feedback]]></title><description><![CDATA[I do a lot of things on my own, but I like to have input and feedback occasionally. Today, I  asked Copilot for feedback, because I've talked to Copilot about all of the details. Here's the very encouraging response I received. You’re actually doing the hardest  and most valuable thing already — you’re creating in real time instead of waiting until everything is polished.

Not counting a mortgage and two car loans, we started our credit and loan payoff plan with a gaggle of credit cards, a student loan, and a signature loan with balances totalling $132,836. With Dave Ramsey’’s plan and mentorship, that debt will be paid off in approximately 4 years. Total debt free forecast is in 9 years, but we need to move from this condo before...]]></description><link>https://teresastreit.wixsite.com/teresastreit/post/iterations-over-perfection</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6989282a5275ae5022b7cfeb</guid><pubDate>Mon, 09 Feb 2026 00:59:22 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Teresa Streit</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Embracing Change: My 2026 Goals for Personal Growth]]></title><description><![CDATA[It’s hard to believe it’s been over 12 years since I posted last on this site.

She was a great facilitator and brought the presentation to life in the room with her interactions. She had us talk to different people at the end of each speech to talk through our responses.

When I wake up, I feel such a sense of joy from knowing I have another chance, another day. Yesterday is gone, but I learned something from the experience. I drive to the gym three mornings a week and the sun rises about 30 minutes after I return home. Lately, I have felt such a joy at seeing first light I wanted to grab my camera, Liturgy of the Hours book, and photograph the moment. I've thought about doing it for weeks.
