Tricks and Have a Great Weekend

May 31, 2013 · In: Happiness, Uncategorized

A coral tree we saw in Santa Barbara this week.

What kind of person are you? Do you ask for permission or act and then ask for forgiveness? I am a permission person who is always trying to practice the art of announcing things I really want to do before I do them instead of asking. It’s a pretty cool trick.

Thank you for the great feedback this week on how you deal with husband and wife economics. I LOVED hearing about how you handle things and I am always eager to hear more! I got a kick out of the little “tricks” women use like one person who shops when her husband is away for work and then says, “I’ve had these forever,” when he notices her wearing a new pair of shoes. Classic. Some of you are so diplomatic and allocate equal spending allowances. Admirable.

Have a wonderful weekend! We get to see our friends who are visiting from Germany, as well as the couple who introduced us. Then we will be laying Chris’ mother’s remains to rest and heading home to Seattle. We miss Charlie!

Here is some interesting stuff around the web:

What do you think about Bit Coins? Do you think it’s the currency of the future?

Have you seen these donut cakes that are trending? You could do it with gluten-free donuts too!

An alarm clock app for heavy sleepers.

A yummy flatbread recipe that is as fun to watch as it probably is to eat by a very talented blogger in Seattle!

Isn’t this a funny place to have a picnic? Can you find the bench?

Happy Friday…go out there and do something to write about. That includes couch time with your dog, Linda. XO

Comment READ and I’ll tell you where this motherho Comment READ and I’ll tell you where this motherhood stress comes from and what I’m doing that’s made me so much happier.

This is for my overachievers!

Once I realized what was going on underneath all of the over planning and prevention, I found a way to relax more.

Comment read and I’ll send it to you.
I had to believe that no matter what I was looking I had to believe that no matter what I was looking at in front of me (a dusty ranch style house that looked like an abandoned outpost), this could be my dream house. 

I kept reassuring myself that it could happen even though I had no idea how that would be possible unless I completely rebuilt the house.

Then I let it just sort of appear as I kept staring at the house.

Staring as a big part of having the vision come to you.

It took many years, but I’m very excited to come down the driveway each day.

paint and lime wash were absolutely transformational for the exterior renovation. 

As we play around the house, or drink coffee outside, I look at the house fondly and appreciate the beauty and how it serves us. 

Changing your beliefs we’ll set off a chain reaction for beautiful things to come.
Comment REWIRE and I’ll send it to you. I decided Comment REWIRE and I’ll send it to you.

I decided it was time to focus on my health so I started exercising and by week 3 I was quitting-this is from someone who used to be in the military and loves fitness.

Being a mom is different!

I decided to start with mindset. I did a specific technique and weight loss started and just got easier.

Being healthy became automatic.

I didn’t need more hours in the day and it wasn’t another job to add to my list.
I started this window treatment transformation yea I started this window treatment transformation years ago and I’ve been avoiding this part ever since. 

I finally ordered this curtain rod from the same company in a different size, but the color ended up being the wrong “gold/brass” tone.

Then I ordered these curtains and the color is not at all how I expected. I was thinking fresh spring and these have a dustier tone. Gorgeous just not the same vibe I had imagined.

It’s taking imperfect action that gives you clarity.

I could scroll until the cows came home but I just had to start with something physical I could look at and decide if it was a go or not.

Tell me what you think in the comments! I’llsend you all the details of this project.
This summer I took a break from keeping up with my This summer I took a break from keeping up with my own high expectations and then a newsletter that I write in the margins of my life ended up on a list with authors I’ve admired for years.

Coincidence?

“Top 100 Rising in Faith and Spirituality,” on Substack.
For a hot second I was a list with the author of Eat, Pray, Love! What!

I have to constantly retrain my mind to know that good things happen no matter what. I don’t have to toil to have what I want.

Yes, we have to signal to the world what we want to attract but it doesn’t have to feel like a burden. 

We create the reality we experience.

What would you allow yourself to receive if you believed that you were allowed to rest?
