fork in the road
good morning and happy tuesday! tuesday is reason enough to celebrate, isn’t it?
lately i’ve been torn between the status quo and moving in a different direction. i’m excited at the prospect of change. something yet undiscovered.
i blame it on a fortune cookie that said that i’d be switching professions. kind of vague but it planted a seed and for the first time in forever i’m playing with the idea of what taking a different direction would look like. how could i make the second half of my life a bit different than the first?
so i nope you’ll indulge me exploring the idea. still the same old me but looking at things in a new way, to see where i can fit in, make a difference! the first step is starting with myself, breaking bad habits and trying to be more conscious overall. ok well, more soon, til then, have a great day whatever you’re up to!
what matters most
wow, the days just fly by! how can we accomplish everything? then again, what’s the rush? i have about a minute and just wanted to stop by and say hi. i’m posting the one thing that matters most, staying limber. nothing else goes right when we’re out of wack so i’m sharing my 30 second philosophy which is if you take those 30 seconds for yourself to just stretch in one or two positions your whole day gets better. what do you do at the minimum? there’s that knock at the door, more later, have a great friday!
just the beginning
hi all, happy weekend! i hope yours is off to a good start already.
and that you’ll be having fun with friends

and at least a little bit of quiet time. i hope to have a little downtime too and will come by to visit. till then have great sunset and the start of a wonderful weekend!
that rainy day feeling
good morning everyone! i’m just stopping by to recalibrate. i haven’t had the time or inclination to touch my computer for a couple days, you know how it is, a simple yet debilitating case of OveRLoAd! but i daresay i’m back in full force. it’s a bit of a dismal morning but perfect to get up and out for an early road trip up north and back by noon. i just wanted to stop here first to wish you a sunshiny day whatever the weather! i’ll be back later with some good news. till then, have a great day!
thoughts in action
allo gang, how’s your night going? it’s pretty calm over here, just about to wind down. i thought it would be fun to pass along a great guy my own great guy passed on to me. have you heard of jason silva? he’s got a lot of vivid and articulate perspectives and the videos he makes and narrates are beyond beautiful. some are on his site others on youtube so i pulled a couple of my faves. hope you enjoy him as much as i do. have a great night!
chopping broccoli
hi guys, hope you’re winding down a good day. between stops i heard a lot of talk radio. one of the most interesting discussions was about the super benefits of broccoli. i love it, but whenever i see it at the grocery store i hesitate to get it. i think it’s cause i didn’t really know what to do with it. so i googled some ideas just now and thought i’d share them. most are kid approved and all can be scaled back to be super healthy. electrictreehouse.com/why-broccoli-rocks
if you’re a broccoli lover, enjoy!

well i’m off to dinner, hoping to have broccoli in there somewhere…have a great night!
almost like the real thing
good morning everyone! it’s bright and early, super quiet here and the perfect time to stop by before it gets crazy busy. here’s wishing you a happy monday and to start the week off fresh, a quick pic. when will computers have that darn scratch and sniff technology? oh well till then we’ll have tap into our imagination/memory banks. i hope we all can at least can stop for a sec to get a get nice deep breath and feel the soft petals too! ok i’m off, have a beautiful day!
starting fresh
good morning guys! happy weekend. it’s very quiet here and no one’s up. i hope to get back here within an hour or so but wanted to just do a quick post to obliterate yesterday’s and move onto something way more fabulous! till then, it’s a quick breakfast, so i’ll leave you with a couple pics for inspiration although i’ll probably end up with a smoothie and a banana in about 5 minutes. enjoy your morning!
and for those who still can eat whatever they want…enjoy it now! happy saturday!
can’t take that away
good morning guys, it’s been a while! actually i’ve wanted to stop by but a cruel email threw a wrench into my mojo. it’s weird how someone can knock off your game and make you self conscious. i’ve been trying to get my joie de vivre back ever since and finally feel peaceful again!
it got me thinking about joy and happiness, how it’s so easy to be affected by someone else’s opinion or unkind word. why are those the ones that stick with us like knives in the heart? on the upside, i’m a lot more conscious of how easy it is to change something from good to bad during the day in so many situations.
anyway i just wanted to share some pics of bliss. moments captured that remind us it’s everywhere and we can create it any time for someone else with a smile or kind word.
i’ve been focused on health and diet lately instead of decorating and am still at it. for those of you who have been working on it too, how’s it going? i can’t say i’ve seen enormous results but will keep on keeping on, knowing one day soon i’ll to wake up and say voila!
the best thing that’s happened so far has been eating less and doing more physically, yoga, walking…nothing major but a big change in diet. my skin looks a lot better so that’s a perk!
anyway i came across these on pinterest and thought i’d pass them along.
so, as of about 10 minutes ago, the construction outside my window started. the cement truck is spinning and i’ve got to close the doors. so it’s off to look for a new place again today. i’ve emptied out my apartment and moved a lot into a collective. it’s kind of great to just have the minimum around now, keeps me feeling lean even if it’s not showing up on my bod yet. maybe tomorrow! well, keep on trucking darling friends, i’m so glad you’re here. have a fabulous thursday!
what’s the point?
for me the point is fitting into the clothes in my closet. good morning everyone! it’s already after 10 and the day is whizzing by. the voices in my head were trying to keep me from an early workout but i got one in, third day in a row. it’s finally kicking in that there will be plenty of time to do all the mundane but if we don’t take care of and nourish ourselves, what’s it all for if the clothes don’t fit and nails are a wreck?
i found this on pinterest and laughed cause it covered pretty much coveres everything. but since liz and i have been making salads for lunch the past couple days, (and so loving every single bite)! things have changed. i’m looking on pinterest for good recipes and pics of beautiful food.
i can’t say i’ve seen HuGe results yet but just stretching and walking in the am and knowing the day is starting off to a positive trajectory is sure helping.
thought i’d pass this on too. about to chug a mug right now. if you have any pretty pics with recipes, send the links. i’m sure we could all use some creative ways to get off the comfort food treadmill. in the meantime, have a beautiful day!
