Oh this was the coziest outfit.  It was chilly the other day and it almost made me miss winter (almost).  Texas is so funny... one day its 90 and the next its 50.  You just never know.  Sometimes its both all in one day.  I wear this sweater ALOT around the house, so Im happy to finally have worn it out of the house!  Its definitely one of my lounging staples.  And I adore this beautiful healing gemstone necklace that Kami from Full Moon Creations sent me.  The colors are so perfect together.  ​

Im super stoked.  In about one hour my brother, his son and my nanna will be here at my house!  Its been forever since any family has come to my house.  Its usually me going to theirs.  So when it does happen, it makes me giddy.  Its a freakin gorgeous day today, which makes me even happier.  ​

So, this is going to be short and sweet!  Time for family!  And in case you missed yesterday's post, Im have a HUGE sale in both of my shops for just a few days!!!​

In relation to my last post about ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE... Let me add, with a dash of hard work and passion.  So, as I work on new things to be listed in the shop to work toward this big dream of mine, I'll be running a sale in both of my shops!  I would absolutely adore and appreciate it if you would share these images or this blog post on your blog, twitter, facebook, instagram and/or pinterest.  This big dream of mine is not something I can do alone.  I need all the help I can get.  A big big warm hug in advance!!!​

ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE

103.JPG


I thought I would share this image with you as a free download (for personal use only), as a little reminder to each of us that ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.  Ive been thinking alot about this lately since I have alot of very big dreams floating around my head.  Ones that are wonderful, but scary, life altering dreams.  I have had so many moments of self doubt, doubt in others, and just monumental fear in general for making these changes a reality.  I am here to remind myself, as I surrender to the universe, that anything is possible.  When your dreams are so entangled with others, its hard to make a leap without worrying about each person's well being through it all.​

While the world is buzzing around me, filled up with the firey aries energy of the past new moon, I feel myself at a standstill most days, still feeling the need to sit with myself, meditate and dream the possibilities, and not quite jump off of any cliffs just yet.  ​

So for now, I share this thought with each of you, right along side you, to remind us that anything really is possible.  I will keep this image in my mind as a bouquet of hope.​

TEA WITH HEART AND SOUL

A few weeks ago I had an ayurvedic tea consultation with Lindsay Holt of Whole Body Alchemy.   I honestly had no idea how in depth this would be, and how truly rewarding.  After filling out a questionare, Lindsay sent me a 4 page evaluation of my particular dosha, along with several tips on self care, diet and lifestyle to bring it into balance.  My initial reaction to reading what she wrote, was the same way I relate to my personal astrology.  I felt a deep connection, as if I was truly reading something written specifically about me.  I have looked into Ayurveda several times in the past, but never went too deep into it.  This simple tea consultation has changed my enthusiasm about it full force.

Her word chosen for me was Stillness, which could not have been more perfect.  Over the past few months, I have had sign after sign telling me that I need to quiet myself, go within, and meditate more often.  My brain is always fleeting from thought to thought and project to project, and sometimes its hard to make myself feel grounded and come back down.  I felt the word was so in tune with all the messages I have been receiving recently.

Who doesn't like rosemary and sage?  Just a sweet little extra she sent me.    As well as the yummiest smelling soap below from her shop.

The tea itself could not of been a more perfect blend for my personal taste preferences.  It is literally, THE PERFECT TEA for me.  It consists of chamomile, lemongrass, tulsi, spearmint, orange peel, fennel, jasmine flowers and rose petals.  Its divine.  Tastes just as beautiful as it looks.  And the ritual she created to go along with the tea is simply beautiful, and so spiritually honoring.  I'm going to keep that part private, but if you get a consultation for yourself, I know you will love this part, whatever your ritual may be.  The wonderful thing is, the overall consultation is very affordable, and you can always get refills of just the tea when you run out!  Just check out the section on her site that says Tea Consultation for more info on how to get your own consultation.  It is so very worth it!  I feel like it has allowed me to connect with myself on a deeper level, which I always love.
