Saturday night we went to see my besties two little kids in their ballet performance.  It was her son Xavier's first recital.  He was so cute dressed up like a little bear!  And Isabel was a bluebird.  They were both so precious.  Its been so fun to see them over the years at these recitals.  My friend is about to give birth to her third child any day now!  I can't wait to meet little Navarro.  At any time I could be called to rush up to the hospital to be there.  ​

The outfit above is what I wore to the recital.  Actually, by the time we left the house, I ditched the sweater b/c it was still too hot outside and wore a vest, and I threw my hair up into a bun.  I was sure it would be cool enough by the time we left, but nope!  ​

Today I spent doing household chores, fulfilling a responsibility that I have put off for over a year, and worked more on a huge custom order flag that has been in the works for a long time.  Little by little Im getting things done.  Sometimes that is the only way it can be done.  ​

INSTAGRAM LOVE // WHIRLWIND WEEK

OMG I MISS THIS BLOG!  Yep, I do.  The past few days have been sooo busy from my online yardsale I have not even had a chance to come over to this little corner of my world.  What was going to just be a simple 20 something sale, ended up being around 150 items and a whirlwind of a sale!  I feel so blessed!  And Im so glad its over, ha ha.  Online garage sales are just as much work as real ones.  Thank you so much to each person that bought something!  Im saving this money for me and James to be able to go somewhere for our anniversary in September.  We have yet to get away since weve been married, so Im so excited!  ​

THANKFUL FOR YOU

I just wanted to give a big warm thank you to all the love the past two days you have shown me.  From my last post where I talked about my health, and a post I made on facebook, I received countless comments and messages about your concerns, but also your personal experiences with this.  It is amazing to me how many women in my age group (and younger) are suffering from the same symptoms.  Its a real testimate to our culture we are living in and that things need to change.  From a lifestyle and a cellular level.  ​

I will be sharing my journey here and there, so possible it can help someone else who may be feeling the same way.  Although we all may have different reasons, or different symptoms, we can make steps together to change this cycle.  And change it for our children, or in my case, future children.  ​

I just really really want to thank each of you who shared your own personal experiences.  It really opened my eyes, and made me feel not so alone.  And really made me want to take a stand for my body.  If any of you know of some really yummy gluten free recipe sites (preferably with photos, I needs them) I would love it!  Also, links to good guided meditations & online yoga (preferably free b/c we are on a tight budget right now) .

Im completely excited to take this upcoming ecourse with Stephanie Perkinson called Sexy, Raw & Radiant, it couldn't of come at a better time.  Im feeling very blessed with it.  She is giving away a free spot in the course over on my giveaway page too!  Go check it out!​

P.S. Yesterday I imported The Bohemian Collective's blog over to this site.  So you can now follow that blog all in one easy place.  You will find a tab at the top of the navigation bar that says 'the bohemian collective'.  Under it you will find the blog and lookbooks!  You won't get automatic updates for the blog, so youll just have to check it every now and then, but at least its all in one easy place now.  A new post went up yesterday!​

Friday when James got home from work we went to the Kerrville Arts & Crafts Fair, a show my parents did my whole life, so I grew up running around there.  I haven't been in about 3 years.  We mainly went that night because Lady Jane Grey was playing, a local duo that I love.  Sadly friday nights there are generally slow and it has poured down rain all day, so there weren't too many people there.  But they still sounded beautiful.  And when I bought a beer the guy studied for about a whole minute.  He did NOT believe I was over 21, much less turning 31 this next month.  It was pretty funny.  I wonder how old I will be before that stops.  ​

We saw a few of my parents old show buddies and talked to them for a long time.  It was so nice, but so sad.  One of them didn't know my dad had died so I had to tell him what happened.  It was hard, but it was nice to be able to chat with some people who knew my parents so well.  Then as we were leaving we ran into the woman who bought my parents jewelry business from us!  She had a booth set up there!  It was such a nice surprise, I had no idea they were there.  It was so cool to see what they were doing with the china and just to catch up in general.  It was such a fateful deal.  The people who bought my parents business are named Tim & Linda, just like my parents, they have kids the same age as us, they live in the hill country and are obviously artists.  There are so many parallels.  They even have some of the same mutual friends and my parents never knew!  I know my mom would be so delighted if she knew who got the business she worked so hard on for so many years.  Im sure she had a hand in it somehow.  ​

The past two days though have been so heavy for me.  Im trying really hard to stay in the love and hope vibe that I so need to be in right now, but I feel emotional.  Mainly about my parents.  I also feel physically drained, and have for a while.  After taking some tests online Im pretty sure I have hormonal, adrenal and thyroid imbalances.  Which seems crazy for my age, but it explains alot and makes sense with how Ive been feeling for a long time.  I ordered vitamins and minerals last night for all of it, and Im going to try my darndest to get into some kind of exercise routine and daily meditation.  And change my diet.  Im finally going to bite the bullet and go gluten free.  Im also discontinuing my morning coffee.  That is a HUGE one.  But after doing this fast, I realize I wont die without coffee.  So, Im going to do it.  I will now have hot herbal tea as a replacement.  I need to make some major changes, that Ive known for a long time that needed to be made.  Its just so easy to keep on going like nothing is wrong.  But Id rather reverse it now then when Im really sick.  I do NOT ever want to go on meds, so I must be proactive NOW.  The hardest part is causing disruption in my home b/c of all the changes.  All the things James and I used to eat together that we wont be able to anymore.  But I just have to know that this is more important.  ​
