Change. Change is hard and scary. Change invokes the doubt, the fear, the internal “nay saying”. However, Change is the beacon of hope. Change represents a chance to do better, to be better, to feel better. Change is inevitable. So take a deep breath, meditate, close your eyes… see the “better” and then, slowly… JUST BEGIN!
The recurring theme for 2016 has been “love yourself”. It’s two very simple words and yet the majority of us lack the skill-set needed to complete the task. LOVE YOURSELF. Love is not only a noun. LOVE IS A VERB. IT IS AN ACTION. As a verb it can be defined as: like very much; find pleasure in. That the task before us. We need to learn and perpetuate the action of liking ourselves and finding pleasure in our own company. It is by far the most powerful thing we can ever do for our souls. It is by far the kindness action we can take to heal. Yet, life hardens us to the point that we forget this simple task. This year, put it on your to-do-list, create the habit, indulge… #LOVEYOSELF.
Often time in life, we get the distinct Blessing to “start over”. A “do over”. These are often preceded by times of uncertainty. Periods where we are forced to grow, because we have to “let go”. Yet, with every ending… ultimately there is a new beginning.
Just “BEGIN AGAIN”.
It’s that simple.

During my travels on the internet whilst trying to avoid doing yet another
pivot table and some “if-then” statements. I came across the Design
Inspiration post from Apartment Therapy:
I was immediately enchanted with the images because they reflected the most
beautiful light. There was the air of “calm and serene”. Since my blog
partner @Chicagomom72 has introduced me to Apartment Therapy, I have noted
some very wonderful design inspirations that I could use in my home. This
however has really struck a tone with me as I want to create an area where
it is flooded with light, yet aesthetically pleasing to the eye!
Do check out the aforementioned post and then tell us what design
inspiration that you like!
