27 candles

[April 23, 1986-Present]

It seems like my birthday keeps coming up faster every year. If it wasn't for a few precious friends, I probably would have let it be just another day.

I finally had some time to reflect on how I have spent these few, yet precious years.

I will always be busy. Rather than accept that overused excuse, I need to make a conscience effort to enjoy the moments when my busy life settles down, to be with the most important people in my life.

Being present in all aspects of my life shall be the greatest gift I shall ever receive.

Although, I did not blow out any candles this year...I could wish for a more beautiful life, but I already have one.

Until next time,

Sassy Sunday

    Sweet and solemn Sunday

Finding comfort in a beaded-feathered turquoise dreamcatcher. Berry, cider, and apple scented candles. New Mexican handmade soap. 

Today, I caught up on some much needed rest. Made a protein inspired breakfast. Cleaned my humble apartment. Experimented with some makeup for a more sultry look for November. Turned pages in a book rather than flipping though TV channels. 

Being a homebody can sometimes be quite productive. I'm actually looking forward to more nights in, layered clothing, hot chocolate, and homemade soup. 

There are two more months left this year. I plan to discover what I can cross off the bucket-list, re-vamp my resolution list, and rekindle some old friendships.

Let's finish 2012 strong.

Wandering heart

"If you want to know where your heart  is, look where your mind goes when it wanders."

I spend a lot time self-reflecting and day dreaming. When I let my mind wander, I  think about my dream life. Not that I don't appreciate the one that I have...it's more about where I want my life to be.

I think about buying my first house, finishing my scrapbook, places I want to travel, and other things I want to create in my lifetime. My dream world provides perspective to my reality.

Obviously, if I'm dreaming about a journey I'm not there yet. My dream helps motivate me to learn how to get there. I believe that dreams offer us magic to create our own destinies.

For a purpose-driven life plan for your dreams to come true by discovering your passions and desires.

Design the life you want to live

Four days into the new year.  What do you plan to accomplish? What is your vision for 2012? How do you plan to get there? Here is an idea to keep you on track with your resolutions, goals, and turning your dreams into reality.

Create a Vision Board

Start by browsing through old magazines, cut out pictures that relate to your goals. If you want more money, cut out a dollar sign or an individual you feel has accomplished this task. If you want to travel cut out the places you would like to visit and paste them on your vision board. A cork board will do, just have some thumb tags handy.

Now, the pictures serve as a reminder of what you plan to achieve. Make a conscious effort to pursue these ideas everyday. Some of these events can be what you want to accomplish in your lifetime. (Those are okay to put on the board too!)

Always strive to be a better version of yourself.

Until next time,
