The Love Bite

March 18, 2014 · In: ROMANCE

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

When Chris tells me he loves me, I often respond with, “Yes, but how do I know?” Very annoying. Well, the last time he replied with, “I always give you the good bite when we share food.” 

Wow. I am really loved. If I were a pooch, I’d be the one who would hang out in the kitchen. Not the one waiting for any crumb to fall, but waiting for you to slow cook some organic, grass fed, step 5 (basically someone read the cow bedtime stories every night), burgundy, short ribs and share a little with me because I licked your leg very gently and cutely.

How do you SHOW love? I seem to like showing off the amount of love I receive by my thigh size. Love that.

I Instagrammed this morsel I found waiting for me in the kitchen one afternoon. SOMEONE didn’t want to eat the last piece and leave me nothing.

Is he looking at the rest of the pizza thinking which slice should go to me? Hope so!

      I totally get it from my momma too! I feel so lucky to have a mom who would spend so much time in the kitchen! She still does and sends me home with food when I visit!

      Thanks, Alisia…yes, the crumbs of love. 😉 I LOVE authentic Italian pizza!!! I’ve only been twice but I’ve eaten loads of it there and always try to find a place near our home. This was incredible in Culver City (where Sony pictures is located).

    Haha that is definitely love. Yesterday as we shared a side of truffle fries (YUM), I expressed my worry that Tim would get more than me, since he eats faster. So he stopped when the last few were left.

      Truffle fries are my FAVORITE thing (said that in monster voice). Tim knows what’s good for him! 🙂 Sometimes I totally have to tell Chris: put the utensils down for a bit or you have to get your own plate! 🙂

      I would eat outside exclusively if I could! My dream house has an outdoor living room and dining room…plus a pizza oven…and a fireplace…this could go on forever. Basically I’m living outside with an indoor bathroom. 😉

    That is too cute, you guys sound like such a lovely couple!
    Also, that pizza is literally making me shake it looks so good, because I am currently on a grain-free, dairy-free regiment to try and fix some stuff, and OMG pizza is the only thing that I really, really miss.

      WOW that is a strict diet! I hope you’re reaping some incredible benefits and relief with the change! I’m doing a GF DF recipe tomorrow…but it does have some grain flour! AH I’m sure you have tapped into the incredible resources for your diet! I’m proud of you for adhering to it!!

I had to simplify weight loss because I have so many other things I want to pour my energy into!

You see me doing a million things but I’m actually impatient and lazy. I’m a Taurus who loves to lounge and eat donuts.

I found a way to eat donuts, lose weight and do it with the least effort.

The food is easy. The prep is easy. I don’t even think about it anymore.

I started my journey in the summer and it was the best life upgrade of the year.

Follow @christinajwarren to make life easier and more enjoyable simply with your attitude.
Life has its twists and turns. Everything can chan Life has its twists and turns. Everything can change in a moment. 

All possibilities are equally available at all times. 

You have the free will to reach out and touch whichever one you choose 

There have been times when I thought gosh how did I get into this situation? 

I had to remind myself that I could get myself out of it.

I had to remind myself that I had the power to create the life that I wanted.

I hope there’s something that you want that you’ve decided to experience for yourself. 

Not someday or if this or if that.

Cheering you on, my friend!
Prepare to open your perspective and enjoy your fu Prepare to open your perspective and enjoy your full life even more:

1. Tying my worthiness to outcomes- at the end of each day I focus on how the day felt, over what got done.

There are days when I am a super DOER and I also have heartburn. 

I want less days like that and more days that feel peaceful regardless of the list.

2. Earning rest-If I feel like eating donuts and sleeping on the sofa all Saturday morning, that’s awesome. Don’t need permission and don’t need to apologize-just enjoy.

3. Saying “I should”- That’s a 100% red flag for something I SHOULDN’T do. 

That’s a signal that it’s something that someone else says I should be doing-not my inner authority.

4. Needing things to be hard- I say things like “Show me how easy this gets to be,” (and I believe it). The proof presents itself.

5. Needing it to be perfect before sharing-not that I’m sharing the hot mess, just that it can be 80% and ready for the world. 

Some things take off right away and others need tweaking. Get it out there to find out where you are at sooner.

It’s so frustrating to feel like you can’t improve It’s so frustrating to feel like you can’t improve your life. You feel like you need more- money, creativity, luck.

That’s actually not true though.

When I fall into this trap, I do this…

Here’s the trick.

When you ask yourself “why is this so hard” your brain goes to work finding every reason it is.

BUT when you ask “why is this so easy for me?” “Why is it all falling into place?”

Your brain has to find proof of that instead.

Different question. A completely different experience.

Keep asking that question all day! Stop asking “Is it working?” Just do it!

Try it on your house. Your body. Anything you’ve been stuck on and tell me what happens!

Do you use mindset tricks like this?

How many times was I going to send this listing to How many times was I going to send this listing to my friend and my husband, asking if it’s worth a 45 minute drive to go pick this up?

If I waited any longer, it was going to be gone.

But what if that was a sign that it wasn’t for me?

where was my sign from the universe?

I just knew this was going to give our family room the cozy vibe I wanted. 

Everything else in the room was new so it needed something to feel warmer, unexpected, collected and personal.

I kept holding the phone up to the couch trying to picture it.

It belonged here.

She was asking $100 and I asked if $80 would be ok. It was deal and we were off on a long trip, deep into the city.

Was this going straight to Goodwill?

She put the cutest note on top and her roommate helped up load it into our truck.

I dumped a bunch of water on it and gave it a good scrub plus some scraping off of candle wax. No problem!

Truly, what’s meant for you will never pass you by. 

When you search and shop with that vibe, all the right stuff will arrive in your feed and you’ll get the perfect piece.

No kidding, within a day of DECIDING my coffee table was going to be on Marketplace, it showed up.

If you’re into the power of your vibes creating your whole world, follow @christinajwarren where we cultivate inner peace to create a beautiful life from the inside out.
