First Words

August 11, 2014 · In: BABY, Uncategorized

untitled-8100087“Hey, your baby’s only 2 months old!” 

He’s part Asian (Korean), so this first word is pretty obvious. It is “GI.” BAHAHAHA. It is the word for that white two-piece outfit you wear in Karate. Although Karate is Japanese, it IS Asian so I totally get him. 

We’ve heard this word a handful of times. He seems to say it when he is angry. It may  be some kind of superhero thing where he calls for his fighting costume when he’s mad. Wow, he’s got such a great imagination. 

It could also be the costume he wants for Haloween. That would be pretty cool too.

P.S. I’m a red belt in Tae Kwon Do but from when I was 16 years old where I only sparred with 12 year old boys who were my size. At first they didn’t want to hit a girl…until they started getting beat up by me, a chunky teenage girl with flying fists, in front of their dads. Our mom made us do martial arts so we could annihilate any possible assailant. I don’t think my husband knows this and I want to keep it that way.

    Loving the first word! Seeing that his mom is a Tae Kwan Do master, it’s a very fitting first word for him! Hopefully the hubby skips this weeks post so he doesn’t discover your hidden talent for ass kicking! 😉

    such a pretty picture 🙂 and so funny about your son’s first word! and oh my gosh… i took tae kwon do when i was little and i was the only girl in my class. i quit after yellow belt after my master decided to use me as an “example” and humiliated me in front of everyone. apparently my husband also took tae kwon do and he told his “quit story” – he rammed his bike into the store sign that was out in the sidewalk and he peddled away right when the master saw him! he never went back afterwards. i laughed so hard when he told me his story 🙂

      Hi, Jane!! Oh man…shaming is THE worst! I’m laughing so hard over your husband’s “quit story!” That is hilarious! There was a little kid who would try to lick everyone and our teacher would shame him for it. He probably had Pica!

      Oh, Pam, in my head I feel like he’s smarter than me…all babies for that matter. 🙂 They know what’s important while I’m freaking out about getting the clothes folded. 🙂

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?
