Be Me :) CHECK!

Daily Zen Habits from Goddess Leonie at www.goddessguidebook.com :) She's awesome!


I find that if I make myself a "to-do" list for things that I need to accomplish or that I want to do, I am more apt to hold myself accountable and actually finish them! :) Funny how that is huh? lol. So here we go...

My "To-Do" list for the week.

1. Set an intention or mantra for the day when I wake in the morning.

2. Take care of yourself. Whether that is making a green smoothie for breakfast or taking 10 minutes of solitude to just breathe. Do whatever your body, mind and soul is calling to for fulfillment.

3. Be Mindful, and Compassionate. In word and action. What you say and don't say and what you do and don't do.

4. Try and keep my environment as peaceful and joyful as possible, but relax and allow for the flow of change. Go with it.

5. Paint with your new watercolors! :)

6. Keep reading, absorbing juicy inspirational goodness

7. Mail out package to far away friend!

8. Start sewing project! :D

9. Hoop whenever wherever the mood strikes!!! I am getting better and better the more I practice (which hasn't been often as of late! But I am improving which is awesome!) It is definitely something that feeds my soul! It's something that I do for me! FUN!

10. Yoga...happy sigh...enough said.

11. Meditate and take time to be still and turn inward. Remember my close friend during, who is losing someone she loves very dearly.

12. At the end of the day, journal and list at least 5 things that I am grateful for no matter how small :)! (this really puts me in perspective!)

I may not get to everything on my list this week, but it's surely something to shoot for. I hope that you guys are having an awesome start to your week.

Blessings!

And the World Was Still.

Oh boy and snow it did.





About 12 inches worth. The most snow I believe I have ever seen on the ground here in the upstate. Except for pictures of me as a baby, in my toboggan up to my knees in snow. Funny, now we have almost duplicate pictures of Layla in the snow with a toboggan on. I'll have to hunt that picture of me down and upload it.

It sure was beautiful. There is still ice and slushy spots to be had but most of it has moved on.




I have been feeling a bit tender as of late. I am not sure why. My emotions seem to be on full volume and I am having trouble balancing them. Yoga is helping tremendously. I feel so centered and grounded afterward. I am really happy to be getting back into my practice. I need to trust. Trust in the Great Spirit. Trust in myself. Feel my inner strength, at my core. I feel the desire to be seen right now, but to be seen and regarded gently. This week, if the mood so strikes you, reach out to someone. Even if its just a hand to hold or a hug. Let those you love, friends and family alike know that you are there for them no matter if they just need a quiet support from a distance, an understanding nod of "I know what you are going through". You never know how much that could brighten someone's day.



Blessings, love and light to you all, and have a wonderful week.

when you wake the world will be white...

The weatherman's calling for snow. Getting ready to settle in, put my precious tired girl to bed and curl up with a good book and cup of warmth. Hopefully I'll update tomorrow or the next day with delicious photos of our wintry fun.
Blessings.
