H54F: Clutching Onto The Holidays

January 10, 2014 · In: TMI, Uncategorized

Happy Friday! Time is FLYING! I hope you have a relaxing weekend ahead. Here are the highlights of the week, linking up with Lauren and bunch below!

1. I want to leave these up all year! I will for now but at least the rest of the decorations are packed for next year. I got the inspiration from Jessica at Coco & Mingo.

2. The $20 haircut and $40 glaze I got at the Tony & Guy school of hair.

**If you go to a beauty/hair school, ask to have an appointment with someone who is about to graduate. Also, the teacher comes by to check EVERYTHING. Just make sure you have the time. A haircut could take 2 hours and for color, add another hour…or two. I was in for 3.5 hours and LOVE the results. I got these tips from my trendy prenatal yoga instructor.

This was the client next to me. A student spent hours fake-highlighting/foiling her hair.

2. This is why I can’t leave California. We took a walk along the beach cliff in Santa Monica this week.

4. This Kings & Chanuck’s hokey game with our friends complete with a few brawls…preceded by a dinner that included shrimp grits.

5. This is the funniest thing I can share with you this week. Becca, you had us crying.

      You’re a believer! 🙂 The only reason I want a fake tree is to start early and end late! Keep it up, girl!

      Thank you, Jessica! Confession: I used to go to a tanning salon in the dark Seattle winter last year to get some warmth.

    Sounds like a great week! There isn’t much better than getting pampered in the salon!

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?
