Reinvention

January 12, 2015 · In: Happiness, Photography, Uncategorized

IMG_1248-1IMG_1206-1IMG_1207-2IMG_1210-3IMG_1211-4IMG_1217-5IMG_1226-6IMG_1232-7How many times have you reinvented yourself? A new identity? Maybe a new career or new relationships? Sometimes it is by conscious  choice and sometimes interesting situations arise. 

It is a brand new year. Are you looking to reinvent yourself in any way? Is there something you or just a part of yourself wants to be?

YES! I am truly enjoying my life as a mother now. That is in full swing and so wonderful and now I am now a photographer as well! Here is a little shoot I did with my captive model. MWAHAHAHAH. I hope you join me on this journey!

PLEASE share with me what reinventions you are exploring!!!!!

    First of all, he is gorgeous and incredibly sweet and irresistible, and if you lived closer I would totally offer to babysit (as might my teen, who peeked over my shoulder and said “ah, cute baby!” 🙂 )

    Second, and in answer to your question, I don’t know if this counts as a reinvention, but I have resolved to be more ME. What I mean is, strive for improvement without disparaging what’s already there, creating something new and exciting while also appreciating the little beautiful bits in my everyday life, and doing my best and focusing on what I love and what makes me happy, without comparing any of that to someone else’s. I haven’t been doing all of that, so it is a reinvention of sorts, even if I am just striving for being more true to myself 🙂

    I hope you are having a lovely Sunday, Christina!!

      HA! Elisa!!! We could use a babysitter!!! 🙂 Thank you! I LOVE your reinvention! Being oneself is sometimes more challenging than it seems, yes? I check in sometimes with this as well. I get caught up in pleasing people and then find that I’m unhappy as a result! Thank you for sharing!!! I’m excited to hear the process!!

      Oh that is a great one, Abby! I could use some help with the procrastinating thing! AH! I’m so into how I feel about things instead of just getting down to it. It must be the hormones. LOL

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.
I lived with a front door that hurt my eyes to loo I lived with a front door that hurt my eyes to look at, but here’s why that was the best decision.

First of all that kind of glass was giving privacy but really missing out on the beautiful front yard view.

It was also not letting in as much light that it could, which is important for that side of the house because that’s on the sunset side. 

It was a little bit warped from being wood and getting a lot of sun over the years. 

First I had to figure out what the whole aesthetic of the exterior was going to be. I had a vision of a French country home. 

That got me going with colors and then this grid door felt fresh country and was paintable 

Even though I wanted to change that door so so badly for so many years, I painted it to have it blended in with our home war but I’m really so glad I waited because now we have the perfect door for the house 

If there’s something that you don’t like about your home, it’s OK to wait because the right designs some times comes together over over time. 

The trick is having an inner peace and knowing that the perfect solution is out there and will come to you at the perfect time when you’re ready to give it the attention it needs.

It’s like Michelangelo and the David. It was a block of marble and the David was always in there. Your house is the same way.

Comment design for my Youtube where you’ll get the Comment design for my Youtube where you’ll get the practical as well and how I manifest home design.

This kitchen was a bit of a mind bender for me but the weird thing is that it’s not the kitchen that was the problem.

The thing nobody talks about enough in home design and life is that …

You have to see it in your mind first before anything can change.

Once I drew out my designs, collected inspo images and stared at this space long enough, I was able to visualize what I wanted.

The next part kind of just happened.

It’s like a moving train.

Once you set your ideas and intention on the train-it just goes.

You just have to decide you want it.

Everything falls into place. Don’t worry about the how.

I can’t believe I considered keeping that little step wall at the bar! 

So happy with how it turned out.

Comment FOOD for my free “What I Eat in a Day to l Comment FOOD for my free “What I Eat in a Day to lose 25 pounds at 45” cheetsheet.

After 6 pregnancies, 4 kids and closing my breastfeeding chapter, I was 45. 

I was feeling so grateful but also started feeling really uncomfortable in my body. 

I tried doing the things that would get me back in shape before kids but those things didn’t work the same any more.

Did I have to give up “living” aka enjoying delicious food, cocktails…even donuts?

I didn’t want to be a “salad mom” who didn’t enjoy the cake at birthdays or holiday desserts.

I also wanted to feel great in a pair of jeans. Not trying to be who I was before kids, but be the best version of me. 

Confident, youthful, vibrant, energetic and excited about the day, not awkward getting dressed.

Our youngest was under 2 and still waking at night. How was I going to do this?

I was trying so hard and nothing was working. I would give up and try something different. 

There had to be a way that would work for me, at my age and with my schedule. Something that was simple.

That’s when I learned how to eat in a way that was satisfying. 

I became excited about my meals. They hit my goals with protein and nutrition. 

Comment FOOD and I’ll send you a free download of my typical day of eating, in photos,  to show you that you can do it too AND feel satisfied.

You’ll also get my free 7 day weight loss email course.

P.S. I still enjoy girls night, donuts and and birthday cake.

We are put on this earth with the purpose to have We are put on this earth with the purpose to have a good life. 

When I live in that frame, I choose to do things that light me up and enjoy life. 

Good things come- family, work, love. 

Then there are times when I got nervous and choose “the right thing.”

But ya know what, everything works out no matter what.

Sometimes leaning into the fears was what I needed so that I could go for what I really wanted.

At 46 I’m still learning to stay in trust, connection, gratitude and detach from my fears.

Beautiful words by the lovely @inagarten
