{Good Random Fun} Week 5

The Good

One month in to 2016.

How, you ask, is it going with my word choice for the year?

I know you're on the edge of your seats!

Well....

The word I'd use to describe the month of January is....revealing.

There was a 2 week cleanse.

There was yoga.

And there was fresh air, sunshine and walking.

Physically speaking, a pretty darn good month!

The interesting thing to me is that, as we prepare for our move,

and I focus on this idea...

The idea of being efficient.

Of having nothing in excess of what is needed.

Of being single minded in my objective....

As I focus on lean and mean,

I'm finding that the real "house cleaning"

is taking place inside my head and heart.

Facing the facts about what we need/can afford in this house hunting journey

is bringing to the surface all sorts of feelings.

I've been fighting demons of regret.

The woulda/coulda/shoulda demons are knocking at my door.

Those "unfair" demons are dancing all around me.

And the self-pity demons...well, they're trying to throw a rager!

{a rager with no alcohol...cause I was cleansing...and - well - don't actually drink!}

But boy oh boy are these words - lean and mean - grounding me.

Reminding me.

Bringing me back to mindfulness.

To my chosen path.

To my heart center.

And, most importantly...to gratitude.

Stay tuned - I feel like I'm in for a wild ride on my 2016 journey!

The Random

I so delight...

...in these amazing little...

...weeds of winter!

The Fun

The artsy component of my new recipe book is complete!

Let's see if I can get all my recipes transcribed onto the cards in the month of February!
{not as fun...but it'll feel oh-so-good to get it done!}
