      Yes, the teacher makes a huge difference! The teacher I found is so cool! The group of knitters is very eclectic and interesting too! I just listened to all of their interesting lives. Shower is in a few weeks and I’ll surely post! Yay! XO

    Hi Christina! Thanks again for stopping by Routes&Wings yesterday! Your acai bowl looks delish! I saw those when my husband and I were honeymooning in Hawaii a few months ago! I’ve been looking for recipes to try to make them at home – any recommendations! Just started following you on bloglovin – looking forward to reading your posts! Have a great weekend – Dee

      I would love to do a recipe post on them! They are totally everywhere by the beach in SoCal and Hawaii would be an amazing place to eat them too! I want to go to Brazil someday for the real thing!

    Girrrlll I wish I knew hot to knit. My cousin knits the most amazing things and I just don’t know how she does it! If I had more time on my hands, I would definitely want to learn! Make sure to post all of your knitting creations! 😀

      Oh there were people (men and women) in my knitting circle who make shawls, hats etc. that are ridiculous! I would just like to know how to make some blankets with those twisty cables someday. For now, I would love to be able to make a simple baby blanket by June! 🙂 I will surely post as soon as I get started. This blue stuff is only practice! 🙂

      Oh it’s totally one of those things that will come in and out of my life in phases. My dream is to be the friend who knits a baby blanket for someone! I think it makes the most incredible gift. The blanket from my grandmother (that I got in college) is one of my most prized possessions!

    doesn’t knitting get so addicting?! When I have some free time, I like to knit while watching TV, but I only know the basic knit stitch. Needless to say, my “creations” are all boring scarves haha

      It is TOTALLY addictive. I want to do it all day and have to tear myself away. My “creations” are most likely going to be blankets! The teacher showed me a really easy pattern for a blanket with many textures using just the knit and pearl. Those two stitches do everything! 🙂

      Yes, it’s been on a goal list for a while for me! I am taking a weekly class at a charming yarn store. I love the group! One woman in the group just published a book like you!

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?
