You say that I don't care.

It's not that I don't care. It's just that I have already learned long ago - that nothing is permanent.

Not by choice.

By loss.

Of course I care.

That is why I love what is right in front of me with all my heart. That is why every moment of my life I take in, breath in, see clearly, touch, taste, hear every detail.

My heart breaks open and pours love on exactly that moment and embraces it.

And then does the same with the next moment.

To fully feel each moment in front of me.

Because I know that I only have so long in that moment and then it is gone.

So when you come to me with your regret and I just shrug.

Then you turn on me that I don't care, because you are living in the past or the future.

It's not because I don't care.

It's because you have not yet learned how to live the way I do.

I shrug. - 

Because after that moment you've told me I don't care - I am on the next moment - taking it in - and you are on your past or future worries, regrets, and fears.

I hope one day to see you........

in this moment.

LOVE NEED WANT

LOVE these hardwood floors.

NEED strawberry water.

WANT this freakin adorable bag.

YOGA TIME

Five Ways Yoga Helps Creativity:

1. Yoga teaches you to test your boundaries, be brave, get know yourself and express it, just like art.

2. Yoga teaches joyful discipline, and art-making/writing needs that to see the light of day.

3. Yoga is a practice of being present, and whether writing or making art or making your day artful, its helpful to be in what you’re doing fully and completely and then let go of it when you’re not (aka how to avoid burnout).

4. Yoga gets you out of your head and into your body/breath/spirit so when you get back into your head its different in there. We are way more than our minds, and we need to be experientially reminded of that. The breath is a bridge to other places.

5. Yoga reminds us to plant seeds and let go of the results. Making art is similar. You do the best you can, but have to let go a lot, too.

QUOTE ME

“Let us fall in love again
and scatter gold dust all over the world.
Let us become a new spring
and feel the breeze drift in the heavens’ scent.
Let us dress the earth in green,
and like the sap of a young tree
let the grace from within sustain us.
Let us carve gems out of our stony hearts
and let them light our path to Love.”

- Rumi

SING ME TO SLEEP

Just what I need and am ready for.......sleep.



Another bright and challenging week ahead of us to fill with our laughter and love and use to make the world a better place.

Peace, love, & hugs

POOPED

I have kind of been lazy & on hiatus this week. Been a busy time for home, family, & work. 
Think I will just take the rest of the week off & return with GUSTO next week.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day & a lovely week.

See you next week.

QUOTE ME

“This is what enlightenment is all about - a deep understanding that there is no problem. Then, with no problem to solve, what will you do? Immediately you start living. You will eat, you will sleep, you will love, you will work, you will have a chit-chat, you will sing, you will dance - what else is there to do? 
— Osho

SPIRITUAL ENLIGHTENMENT

THE SELF IS THE SEEKER
	LIFE is the path,  LAW is the guide,  LOVE is the way,  LIGHT is the goal.  The GOAL of life is to unite  the personal self... body and mind... with the SOUL.  Purify the body by fasting, bathing, deep breathing,  sunshine, exercise and eating a natural diet.  Purify the mind by...  truthfulness, forgiveness, meditation and prayer. Unite with the SOUL by living a CHRIST like life;  and by fulfilling the natural, social and spiritual laws. Life is eternal  Here and Now  In this body  Or in another  We only choose  The SOUL creates  Our hearts desire  Forever.

THE MOST ROMANTIC PICTURE EVER

A NEW BEGINNING

(picture taken by Far From Perfect)
So I guess this is my some forced upon me, some done by stupid accidents and some choices time to be made. I'm not new to blogging for those of you who have happened upon this blog by accident and are seeing this as my first post. I have blogging for years and years and....yes years. But because things have been insane and stressful and mad lately I stupidly and accidently deleted my old blog. I'm so sad about it. I know it sounds dumb, but that was like my life written in there between fashion and recipes was bits and pieces of my life that I hoped my kids could read someday when I'm dead or old and senile. I am so beyond mad at myself for being so mindless for a brief moment.

But moving on I suppose........

There are many other changes coming my way. Some of them long time coming some of them active decisions that I needed and wanted to make. Some of them for the sake of privacy I don't want to talk about yet and some I'm ready to run into screaming.

One of the more happy exciting ones is my newly and improved resume that is ready to be sent out to this AWESOME job that I am totally banking on and hoping not to be let down. Right now I'm working as a Legal Assistant suppose to be part time, but as any part timer out there knows you always get guilted into pretty much working full time. But I have recently come across this amazing oppurtunity that I SO SO want and if I don't get it I will be sad. Will let you know how that goes.

Other changes going on are sad and scary and life changing and will be discussed at a later date.

Right now we are getting ready for school to start and getting ready to travel back to MO to visit the family and friends we left behind a year and a half ago.

If you are just stumbling across this blog it will be filled with what I'm reading, what I'm cooking, what music I've come across, what I'm doing, what I'm not doing, what I'm b*tching about, crafts projects I'm doing, photos I've taken, photos I've found and love, fashion I like or great finds I've found, magazine article I love, celebrity gossiping, family gossiping, my gratefulness for life, love laughter and l-i-v-i-n, and all the changes I go through along the way. I'm all over here and all over there and always changing my mind and always trying new things. I am in three words FAR FROM PERFECT.
