Busy Weekend to Come ||Friday Finds|| 11.21.14
/WEEKEND ||
This week has been utterly exhausting in a really empowering way, however. I've been working tirelessly until my eyes close on their own will, then finally drifting off listening to Oprah and Deepak's 21-day meditation challenge. It's been glorious. I've been trying not to say words like stressed and rushed and unable to get anything done, because I truly believe that if I repeat those words enough that is all I will feel. Instead, I've been replacing my tired phrases with 'it will all get done' and 'a lot on my to-do list, but time to get it all done'. I just have to keep plugging away. My mind is ready for rest, and I sure will get that starting on Tuesday. Meanwhile I have many more things to cross off my list, but don't we all. I wish we could all value our time on Earth in kindness and gratitude rather than how much stress and frustration we have towards someone or something. It would make for a different planet, wouldn't it? Anyway, this is all I have time to write... plus we all know you secretly skip to the links (it's okay, I do that first anyway). Have a lovely, loving weekend. Stay warm, curl up, grab some zzz's, watch some Netflix, and let me know how everything is going.
How are you spending the weekend?

Quick Week & Few Links|| Friday Finds || 11.14.14
/WEEKEND ||
My first favorite f word is ... fun! Haha can't fool you! What is new and good with all of you? I've gotten to play around with my essential oils as I conquer a cold, pack my mind full of information for my two tests today, and sneak in a dinner with a friend. I graduated with my kula last week! Wow. I had professional photos done, and they look amazing. I can't wait to save them, and put them up all over the place. This weekend I'll be working on an art project -- replicating a Van Gogh for class... yeah it's an adventure; binge watching tv thanks to this cold weather, my own cold, and a cozy bed; and I'm thinking this weekend needs to be restorative. Not much else to say today -- this week has been a lot of studying and very little anything else. I'm sure we all have those weeks.
Until Monday.. enjoy the quick links, loves.

It's never too late to add a little something extra to the table-- is there such a thing as too many sides during Thanksgiving?
