much needed rest and self-care

I didn't have to work too many hours this week, which allowed me time to "take care of myself". I believe self-care and nourishment is just as important as working, eating right, and getting enough sleep.
So on Wednesday, I took advantage of my time, got up early as I usually do, and did yoga, meditation, and some spiritual reading. I took time for myself, connected with some friends and enjoyed myself.
I've been putting some last minute touches to some earrings, in hopes of having more jewelry to take to the Christmas Under the Oaks show this Sunday. I do have about 10 new pieces complete; mostly earrings, and a few necklaces- pendant necklaces with lampwork glass beads and rivets. I was hoping to take a few photos to show, but time is not working with me. If they don't sell this weekend ,I'll be taking pictures and adding them to my Etsy shop next week.
I am truly grateful to have the time off this week, although I could have used the cash. Well, with the holiday season upon us, I'm sure to be working more hours as Christmas gets closer.


I went to the movies, for a laugh and saw Due Date. Not as funny as my expectations, but anything with Robert Downey Jr. is worth watching!



I'll take photos at the show Sunday, till then: don't forget to take some time for yourself!

Post July 4th workout and update

I took off a week from running since my legs were hurting everyday, all day. So it was a bit challenging to start back up this week. I'm so greatful for the cooler mornings that we've been having. Today: 1.77 miles Weight: let's not talk about it; I'm on a see-saw right now. Eating fairly well. Staying away from sweets. Bought a new swimsuit yesterday, so can start swimming when it is too hot to run or walk. Not your traditional swimwear; I wanted something to exercise and do laps in. It's more for cross-training. More to come..... To read my previous post. go here .

January 2015 Nature Box subscription picks

I tried some new snacks in this months box, so get ready for some chocolate! ~dutch cocoa sun-crunch These are cocoa flavored sunflower and sesame seed clusters. Medium strength taste wise on the chocolate, but I love the saltiness of the sun-crunch itself. 6 grams of protein per serving; that's pretty good too! ~dark cocoa almonds~ If you like dark chocolate, you'll love these! 4 grams of protein on these per serving. ~dark chocolate berry trail mix Out of the other trail mixes that I've tried from Naturebox , this one is my favorite. It's a good mix of dried fruits and nuts, including cranberries and cherries, cashews and pistachios, plus tiny chips of dark chocolate that gives it that flavor punch. 4 grams of protein ~flax fortune coins~ Taste just like flattened fortune cookies with the added benefit of flax seeds. Flax seeds are full of omega-3's, and are said to be good for helping reduce your risk of heart disease, cancer, stroke, and diabetes

Classic Wisdom for the Professional Life edited by Bryan Curtis

What a great book of inspirational quotes by many famous people. This is a compilation of pages and pages of wisdom from authors, presidents, sports figures, entrepreneurs, cultural leaders, and the like. I really enjoyed reading this book. The quotes are not just inspirational to professional people in the business world, but also, they grasp the sense of good values, and positive traits that all persons should strive for in their lives. Some of the quotes make you think and ponder over them. The book is presented in a non-descriptive cover, subtle, yet attractive. It is an easy read, not overly stuffed with nonsense, or too much content. You could read a page a day for inspiration, or daily meditation. It is not a biblical book at all, in my opinion, just great reading. I would definitely recommend this book to all who wish to aspire to a greater level of success, whether it is in a business situation, or not. This would make a great gift book as well. Maybe a coffee table book even.
