Life, Faith and change

Life is tough sometimes. Sometimes change happens whether we are ready or not. I always try to stay positive but it's not always easy.There are times when you just have to have faith and trust that things will work out. Sometimes you can only do so much and you just have to let go and trust. Not always easy, but necessary.

I've had one of those weeks but I'm trying to do just that, let go and have faith. I've decided that's all I can do, worry doesn't help so I might as well put my energy into something more productive. To focus on the good and leave the rest to the universe.

So here's to a wonderful night and a bright, beautiful future and to faith, hope and love. Have a great night, sleep well.  B. <3

Summertime and Lightening Up

The weather is really heating up here and I find myself wanting to lighten up. I would love to lose a few pounds and I figure summer is a good time to do it. I've been eating lighter, more salads, smoothies and fresh juices and I love it.

I really love fresh, in season fruits and veggies. Strawberries are my favorite and they are plentiful right now. I love them in just about anything but I think my favorite is in smoothies. It's a great way to start the day especially when it's hot out and you don't feel like something heavy.

So we'll see how it goes, with any luck I'll lose a few extra pounds and get into shape. If not I'll at least enjoy the tastiness of it all.

Hope you all have a wonderful day and whatever your'e doing you find something delicious to make your day a little brighter and tastier! B. <3

Color, Feng Shui and Happiness

I've always loved color, bright colorful things have always made me happy. My clothes, my home and even my food. I never really understood why . Certain colors more than others, but I need lots of color around me all the time.

A few years ago I learned about feng shui and how the energy of our surroundings effects all aspects of our lives. Color is a big part of that. Paint a room or get new colorful curtains or some new throw pillows and it can change your whole out look. Or wear your favorite color shirt or nail polish or jewelry and it can really lift your spirits.

Now I've done a lot of reading on the subject and found at times it was confusing and would drive me crazy trying to figure it all out. Not at all what feng shui is supposed to be about. Recently I discovered the tao of Dana fengshuidana. She has a way of simplifying it all, making it so much easier to figure out.She helps you understand how to make you house comfortable for you, to make into what feels right for you and that can make a real difference in how you feel. This is an interesting article on color therapy and how each color effects you. colortherapy

 I always knew I needed lots of color and it seems as I get older I crave it even more. Here's the proof.

Hope you all have a wonderful, beautiful and colorful night! B. <3

Sunshiney Day

It's a beautiful day here in my world ! The sun is shining, the birds are singing, you couldn't ask for a more beautiful day. I'm so happy to see the sunshine! Hope your day is beautiful too! B:)

Rainy Spring

Once again it's raining here in my world, the second day in a row. This is one of the wettest springs we've had in a long time. I have beautiful flowers blooming but the rain is really rough on them. The grass is growing like crazy and our puppy isn't crazy about walking in the rain all the time, but what are you going to do? You just have to make the best of it.

The good news is that it's supposed to end soon and we'll be back to sunshine once again. But for now I'm spending time inside, doing some baking and watching movies. Not a bad way to spend a Sunday.

Hope you are having a wonderful, beautiful day doing something you love. B :)

Saturday

It's Saturday, the weekend is here! Hope you're all having a great one so far, whatever you're doing. May it be filled with beauty, joy and happiness! B :)

Beautifully Hot Day

It seems we've jumped right into summer the last couple of days with temps in the 80s and 90s. I love it ! I've been outside a lot this week and it's been wonderful.Lots of time on the front porch swing, my favorite spot and on the screened porch. We've taken walks at night and looked at all the stars in the sky, I love to walk on warm nights. Sleeping with the windows open and feeling the cool night air, hearing the crickets outside the window. Then awaking in the morning to the sound of the birds in the trees as the sun slowly rises  lighting up the room. Such a wonderful time of year and we're just getting started.

Hope your days and nights are filled with wonderful memories and lots of love. Have a great night! B :)
