Tuesday Tune

Jason Mraz is the coolest!  


Oh, and I simply love his new single.  Have you heard it yet?  I'm so looking forward to his future tour because I will be there front row center.  He is so inspiring - and his music makes me feel so very happy, positive, thoughtful, excited, giddy, introspective... he is so creative!  And I especially connect with this song.  Thank you, Jason!

Keep Moving, Moving, Moving!

"The great thing in this world is not so much where you stand, as in what direction you are moving."  [Oliver Wendell Holmes]

I just love these shots from Egypt - everyone in motion!

James and I are heading to the coast tomorrow for a friend's wedding and then spending Sunday with our dads, starting with breakfast in the Bay Area and ending the day with a barbeque back in town.  I hope everyone enjoys this weekend! 

Happy Friday!

Daily Thought

"The miracle is not to fly in the air, or to walk on the water, but to walk on the earth."

Chinese Proverb



Smattering of LOVE

I haven't been blogging much about my upcoming wedding... mostly because I feel not everyone finds the nitty gritty of the planning process to be the most interesting topic in the whole world.  However, we are in the home stretch and all of my brainstorming and designing has come to a close.  Today I thought I'd share with you a blog version of my inspiration board that I've been looking at every day since February!  I love everything about it!

 

I am SO excited!

Discover Your Presence

Another Friday!  Another striking article from Whole Living.  It is one of my favorite magazines to receive each month and I look forward to reading it cover to cover.  (If you haven't seen an issue before, what are you waiting for?).  This magazine is my number one inspiration for living a healthier, happier, and more mindful life.


A blog post a few days ago caught my eye:  You Matter More Than You Think: The Art of Developing Presence by Max Strom.  Perhaps I've been extra emotional lately, but I have been struggling lately with the fact that I feel invisible to others.  There are many instances I feel taken advantage of emotionally, disrespected, and underappreciated.  Are these normal feelings?  Am I being unrealistic?  Maybe.  But I also deserve to be treated the way I treat others.  Right?  There are times I feel I give too much and receive a fraction in return. 


After reading this article I realized that maybe I have a weak presence.  Am I not accessible emotionally to others?  Maybe I give off a negative vibe?  Just thoughts... I'm intrigued by the three keys to developing presence.  These will be clipped and pinned on my bulletin board.  They seem promising!

Happy weekend!

Feel Good Anyway

Think About It:

Tuesday Tune

Calm down

Deep breaths

And get yourself dressed

Instead of running around

And pulling all your threads

And breaking yourself up

If it's a broken part, replace it

If it's a broken arm then brace it

If it's a broken heart then face it

And hold your own

Know your name

And go your own way.
