Friendship

November 17, 2014 · In: Happiness, Uncategorized

P1010008-2 P1010016-310394087_10203868681652056_923505075335911318_nSo how do you make friends? You know, the kind that feel like a warm blanket and cup of hot cocoa at a cool weather slumber party.  I got to know these ladies through work when I was practicing acupuncture in San Diego.  After a few moves (one of the gals was in Germany) and a baby, we got to reunite for our ladies “night/day.” 

HMMMM how would I describe these gems??? A bit of Astrology, Anthropologie and sexy cars. You guess which is which!

I was trying to convey my ultimate joy when posing and when I look at the photos, I see the 4 hours of sleep I had the night prior! 

You can read about some other ways I’ve made friends over on Stephanie’s The Loudmouth Lifestyle. Stephanie recently had a baby and she is quite a cool character! Please check her out! You can also find her on Twitter.

    Ah, friends. I had a bit of a year in that department. I had to come face to face with the fact that I was surrounding myself with people I coulnd’t be 100% myself with, and had to sever bridges with a couple of them because I came to realize that they had a negative influence on me. Luckily I still have people in my life who love me for who I am, and with whom I don’t have to hold back or edit myself! It truly does give you that cozy, comfortable, warm feeling of a soft blanket and a cup of cocoa on a cold night, I coulnd’t have said it better!

    And you look gorgeous, no matter the lack of sleep! I don’t see a tired mama, I see a sweet gal with a smile that can light up the room 🙂

    Looks like a fun reunion you have going here Christina! I actually made some incredible friends through my last blog… before the one I have now. It was on a community that was geared towards Asian entertainment.

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?
