My Pumpkin

October 13, 2014 · In: Happiness, Uncategorized

Pumpkin Painting Party Pumpkin Painting Pumpkin Painting Pumpkin Painting Pumpkin PaintingP1010079-3Oh…paralell park  a 17,000 ton U.S. Navy Warship at a pier, plan a party for 2000 people from 14 different countries, treat one of the most influential people in medicine with acupuncture or have dinner with Jessica Beil and company? No big deal….but hang out with ladies to decorate a pumpkin… PARALYZING.

Cindi had her annual pumpkin decorating party recently and aside from the moldy themed (trying to look “whitewashed”) pumpkin I made, I had a great time.  I’m in a maternal panic for some creativity to show my kid some magic one day. I’m off to a rocky start. Next year, Cindi. Next year I’ll be ready. Mwahahahahahah

    oh, how fun! I really want to grab some pumpkins and spray-paint them some cool colors, for some non-traditional fall decor. I love the rhinestones and the feather boa on those!

      Andrea, the YouTube/internet revolution of tutorials IS such a game changer!! I even mastered a little braid from a Barefoot Blonde tutorial. She is amazing. Now of course I want mermaid extensions. LOL

    Your pumpkins have inspired me! I’m busting out the paints and crafting up some pumpkins of my own! (My neighbor has been putting an every increasing number of delightful Halloween crafts and trinkets outside her door and every time I look at them… … …I FUME with jealousy! Tried some inflatable ghosts and cat–ANYWAY….) These pumpkins are the perfect craft to one-up my neighbo–I mean…fill my neighborhood with the festive spirit of Halloween!

      HA! That’s what you noticed?! lol Well, it was dinner on an aircraft carrier with the cast of (Stealth-I know, I can’t believe you’ve never heard of it-lol). It was Jessica Beil, Jamie Fox, Josh something, Sam Shepard etc. The person who I was most excited to meet was the dude that was in Terminator II, Joe Morton. Randomly, my dad was the dentist on that ship and he asked me to hook him up with some dentistry! AH! So many random things happened that week. I was accompanying Sony execs and actors as an Admirals Assistant on the at-sea shoot. We helicoptered on and off just for a few days. Fun times! I totally loved the mummies too!!!! Easy but really creative.

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?
