Time Flies When You're Having Fun!?!?

It's been a very long time since I last blogged, I'm not even sure I know how to do it anymore. There has been lots of changes to this blogger world! lol but here we go.....


The bulk of this blog has, in the past, been simply a showcase of the work I've done painting furniture and accessories.  Although I've not been on here blogging I have been using what little free time I do have,  being inspired by all the creativeness out there in blogland, pintrest-land and here locally. 

I've thought a lot about the direction I want to take in my life, my health, my relationships, my faith, my ART, my business & this blog. I am pretty excited about it! Of course EVERYONE gets excited everytime the calandar turns over a new year.  But I think that is part of the excitment for me. The chance to start fresh & also continue the positive momentum of the previous year.

Now don't get me wrong, the last few years have been an incredible challenge but .....

With Every Storm, A Beautiful Rainbow Appears

 





So, on that note I want to start out my first post of 2013 writing about my inspiration from One Little Word ( it's an Ali Edwards project that you can check out here )

The idea being you ponder about words. Deciding on a word for the year that will help guide you and motivate you to live the life you dream of & the life the Lord has planned for you. It often can mean something different to everyone. And how you choose to let that word inspire you throughout the year is different too.

Last year my word was "LESS"
Less -worry
Less- clutter
Less-stress
Less-weight
Less- time spent on unimportant things
~~ I think you get where it was going! Like all things & people , I'm a a work in progress. But when you have LESS of these things, you open yourself up to receive MORE of what's important.

This year I couldn't decide on just one word! This year I need 2 little words ! SAVOUR & MINDFUL

SavourI want to savor the precious moments I have with family and friends. I have really been struck this year by how much is missed because we are always rushing to the “next thing.” The next thing is no better than the thing at hand but in the rushing and seeking, the present is lost. The moments and opportunities with those I cherish are so precious and are definitely worth savouring!




MINDFUL... From the book titled “10 Mindful Minutes” by Goldie Hawn, I’ve chosen the word Mindful. Mindful of my attitude, mindful of my blessings, mindful of letting anger control my words, mindful of my faith, mindful of my reactions to things I can’t control.




I have also chosen a colour this year ! That is always a tough one for me because I am literally in love with every colour !! But for 2013 my colour is TURQUOISE !! What a glorious colour right ?!?! I've been totally digging it for sometime now. I laugh at myself actually, because 20 yrs ago when I started out in our first home, TEAL was the rage & I was all over it! My grandma used to say we all go in cycles & what you like now will be different then what you will like in 7-10 yrs from now, but it will all come back around. And clearly it has !! Just with a slightly different hue :)




So, with these 3 ideas in mind, along with my random blathering & my addiction to Pintrest.... This blog will see me posting about my journey of 2013. ( I hoping to make my way through my Pintrest Boards and blog about the results along the way ) I'm not sure if anyone will read any of this but I'm really doing it for me, but if you've made your way here...... Thanks so much !
