Living YOU.

For some of you, this is already in motion.  Very cool!  For others, you might need some encouragement to venture out.

So on the heels of yesterdays post.  I wanted to follow it up with the question:

How do you live YOU?

I’m here to cheer you on.  I know it can be intimidating to bring your dreams out into the open.  To show people your heart. That’s cool.  I get that it is scary putting yourself & those goals out there. Remember this:  You matter.  You don’t just matter after people visit your site or if your artwork sells or if a guru tells you 10 easy steps to “greatness”.  You matter right now.
So please, pass on some of your YOU-ness.

The world is waiting!

*feel free to post a comment and share a little glimpse of YOU.
PS  **Story time**:  When I was a little bummed out last year (yes, it happens).  I went to a blog quite by accident.  It drew me in.  It had soothing colors, wise words, and it was like I could see the heart of the person writing the posts.  That is what got me, not how many comments she had or if she was SEO compatible or some shit.  I could relate to her heart.  She was laying it out their for people to see.  To be inspired. To teach.  To show them their own magic.**

Spin time & A surprise

I am really grateful to an amazing group of women who gifted us with a wonderful collaboration.  These affirmations come from their hearts to ours.

Aren’t we super lucky?!?! They made an adorably cute box that you can put these in (if you choose).

I wanted to put my own spin on it.  So here I go:

1) print the affirmations

2) gather the printed affirmations (aren't the pretty!)

2) gather the printed affirmations (aren't they pretty!)

3) cut out each affirmation, lovely little circles of joy!

4) take time to get 'clear' about your project

5) The next step is a secret project I am working on & will reveal next Tuesday!

Stay tuned….

Glimpse: My Overnight Trip to White Sands

These are just a few images that I took while in Alamogordo & White Sands National Monument.  I had a blast!  So much fun, that at times I forgot to get out my camera to capture it.  Also, a few images did not come out, much to my dismay! Boo!

It was great to be able to have a night to play and refresh myself a bit.  Life has been pretty intense for me lately.  I am trying to be gentle with myself through it all.

Hope you enjoy the ‘peek’ into my world.

PS I LOVED making sand angels in the moonlight. *Blissed* out moment!

Watch this: Whirlwish by Jen Gray

This is a deliciously clever and inspirational video created by Jen.
When i first saw it, I felt like my heart grew wings. Absolutely cool.

weekend o’ bliss

GUESS WHAT?!?! you’ll never guess.
i am on the move again.
this time it is all about fun, fun,
and more fun. oh, and food…and hopefully
hanging with some cool
peeps i haven’t seen in awhile.

i am heading to san diego for the weekend
(maybe a few days more).
staying at the lovely Barona Hotel and Casino.
i hear really great things about the surrounding area.

quiet, nature-y, time with my mommy/gabs/and little bro
(as well as some side trips to see friends).
i love playtime. relaxing is one of my favorite things to do.
rest assured i am bringing my camera to capture
the good times.

melly’s sidenote-o-rama:

be kind to yourself this weekend.
try a new activity.
sip that cup of tea in the sun.
get that massage you have been wanting.
or eat that ice cream cone.
whatever would bring you a little dose of JOY!

ps don’t you just love hotel ‘glamour’ shots. i do :)
