80. The Little Things

Yesterday my partner Deryk and I took the girls and our dog Pax to the park. We were heading out for a family fishing adventure and we wanted to tire our puppy out before we left. And for some reason the girls were whining like crazy and even the dog was pulling more than usual, so it could’ve been a stressful walk. But I decided to shift the focus and started...

50. Choose Gratitude

Let’s talk about gratitude.

To me this means recognizing all of the beautiful things and people that I have in my life and spending my time and thoughts focused on abundance verses lack. I know how this makes me feel and I love how it makes me feel! I also know this is a way to attract more beautiful things into my life.  What we give our energy to grows. The law of attraction.  I’m a big fan for a reason. I’ve attracted some really cool things into my life. And for all of it, I’m so grateful.

Practicing Gratitude is a habit that I introduced years ago and has made a huge impact on my life.

When we’re grateful for what we have and can openly express our gratitude for others and to others our perspective can change, our expectations can change and our lives can truly be more fulfilling.

Giving gratitude for all of the beautiful things in my life is easy for me and the sound track in my brain can easily recognize an unhealthy thought and shift to gratitude but it certainly wasn’t always this way...

49. Balancing With Baby

Less than a week ago a dear friend of mine posted a message on social media that got my attention and response. So I asked for her permission to share it with you because I believe the impact can be huge. Thanks Andrea for sharing a vulnerable moment that allows for a really great and important conversation.

Here’s what she wrote :

To all those women out there-mamas and busy women.. how do you take care of a baby (or many babes) and or fur babies, the house, your own business (or not), and have meals prepped then have dinner ready for the family!? ...

48. Enjoy Life At A Slower Pace

So over the past week two things happened in my family that were a big reminder for us to slow down. 

One, there was a knock at the door and so I jumped up from the sofa and managed to kick one of the wooden legs on my ottoman resulting in a badly sprained baby toe. Have you ever done this? I can’t believe how much pain one tiny little toe can cause. It totally threw off my equilibrium and slowed me right down. I’m finally starting to feel like I’m back to my normal pace but my toe is still swollen and sore and it sure let’s me know if I’m doing something I shouldn’t be.

And the other happened to my partner Deryk. He was traveling home from work...

47. Shifting Your Perspective

Earlier this past week my partner Deryk and I talked about changing bedtimes for our children. The girls have been getting up far too early and since most nights I don't get to bed until 11pm that means I'm not getting the sleep I need. And I hate to admit when I'm tired, I like to only give energy and gratitude for sleep and being well rested even when it's not true. Right. The law of attraction...and we have to be careful how much energy we give to the things we actually don't want in our lives.

So this past week our youngest went to bed 30 minutes later, our new bedtime plan and the following morning she woke up at 4:30am, fifteen minutes earlier that she had been. Like wide awake.

And so that morning and the early mornings that have followed make us feel like the effort we're putting in, isn't producing positive results. And that can get frustrating. This has even started to affect my relationship with Deryk. We're both exhausted and fighting each other on who deserves to sleep in more.

So here's how I look at this and I hope maybe if you're in a place of overwhelm or exhaustion you can benefit from this as well.
