Get Spontaneous: LAS VEGAS!!!

July 1, 2013 · In: Out and About, Travel, Uncategorized

What was the most recent spontaneous thing you’ve done? Spontaneity makes us feel alive and exciting! It’s one of those secrets of successfully happy people. Find some ideas at the end of the post.

Last Tuesday, I was daydreaming of sipping cocktails at a poolside party. VEGAS.COM, two days later and a plane ride had us at the Mandalay Bay “beach.” There was a wave pool, lazy river,sand, beach bars and multiple swimming pools. You can even rent a chair at the adult “toptional” area!

We stayed at “The Hotel” which is the new tower associated with the lovely Mandalay Bay. It had an age-appropriate vibe for us which was perfect. This new portion of the hotel was very swanky and stylish. Loved the sign by the “private” taxi area. Having an exclusive taxi area is AWESOME in Vegas where taxi cues can be up to an hour!

The Hotel

Cool wall art and floral arrangements.

We initially purchased a flight/hotel package for Mandalay Bay. When we arrived they offered an upgrade to The Hotel for $20 a night more and it was SO worth it! We had a separate living room and bedroom…and get this TWO BATHROOMS! Here returns the romance! We only have one bathroom at home!

The Michael Jackson ONE Cirque du Soleil show just opened here. The displays were “sequined-glovey” and magnificent.

Chris found The Barrymore restaurant on Yelp and had a reservation for us. Awesome Old-Hollywood feel. The Jidori Chicken (pinkies UP, people) was out of this world. Truly one of the best meals and dining experiences I’ve had in so long! It was a total GEM hidden away at Royal Resort Las Vegas (nothing to look at from the outside and off the beaten path).

Then a little dice rolling stop at The Hard Rock Hotel. Trying and failing to cool-ly offer David Bowie a sip of gin and tonic.

What about some spontaneity for you this week?

  • Take a friend out for a last-minute lunch at a quirky place you’ve heard about
  • Try a Korean Spa
  • Go shopping for that item that’s been on your wish list FOREVER or pick up a trend
  • Find a festival in a nearby city
  • Finally attend that concert

It comes down to some risky behavior to get your blood going! It will make work more pleasant and relationships easier! Let me know what you do!

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?
