Library Nerd Day & Connect with your Roots

May 2, 2013 · In: Out and About

How do you feel about libraries?  I feel SMARTER when I’m in a library which actually makes me feel very cool.  Plus being surrounded by so much inspiration is catchy to me.

My Seattle FRIEND (singular-I really have one) has recently invited me to tag along on her “library days” where we dream big or flesh out ideas over lunch and then go to a library.

Today we are at Bastyr University’s Library.  Rebecca is an alumnus!  Here you can get an undergraduate or graduate degree in Natural Health Sciences (think Natur0pathic Doctorate, nutritionists, acupuncturists).

Bastyr Library

Here’s what Rebecca had from today’s menu from the Bastyr cafeteria (plus some green beans from home). MMMM

I brought last night’s leftovers (brown rice pesto pasta, breaded chicken, roasted tomatoes) and threw them on top of some greens with olive oil:

Here is where we lunched right outside the library in a common area:

Bastyr University

Rebecca is working on a bazillion things:  Vitamin D research papers, blogging for the Vitamin D council, presentations, grad school and autistic child therapy.  I USED to be academic like that so it feels so great to be back in the mix of natural medicine here!

Here is a class being taught outside the window now.

Outdoor Bastyr Class

I’m seeing a nice balance of Birkenstocks with long middle hair-parts as well as skinny jeans with heels around here.   LOVE IT!!!

School libraries have even a cooler, extra nerdy feel!  Lucky me!  Plus Rebecca just handed me a study on the Influence of Vitamin D on gene expression!

Is there a way you can make some time to visit a library?  If you have kids, do you ever take them?  Do you need some quiet, introspective/creative time?  In what ways can you connect to a world where you no longer reside full-time but want to visit?

This is the whole point…like all you need to go fr This is the whole point…like all you need to go from point A to point B in record time. 

It’s not pretending and it’s definitely not instant results.

It’s the moment you stop negotiating with yourself and start making decisions from who you already believe you are.

Saying “I’m a runner” doesn’t magically make you one, but it does change what you choose to do next-
the habits.

That’s how change actually sticks.

it becomes automatic. 

It’s literally the laziest way to accomplish any goal 

The runner gets great sneakers, signs up for a race, wakes up early to do the work and crosses the finish line.

These were just things I had to go through on the journey.

It’s why I was sad but at the same time understanding that everything always works out.

that’s the person I choose to be-

Someone who knows everything is going to be ok.

everything is going to be OK. It’s all going to work out.

One day, I decided to stop letting my circumstances determine the outcomes that I wanted.

Here he was mother to four, barely sleeping at night, feeling Uncomfortable in my body and sluggish. 

Dare I say it but I felt old too.

Then I just decided that, even though I was in this stage of life, I was still going to achieve my goals and have a body that I wanted.

I changed who I was on the inside.

I started telling myself that I was vibrant and beautiful and full of energy and life.

All the sudden I started to believe it.

I ate healthier automatically.

I lost over 20 pounds.
