Manic Monday: Originality

I once had one of my college professors tell me that nothing is new and that you only get new fashion with new technology. In spite of that, I do think that there are those who have original style. They take inspiration from the past and put there own spin on it. Kate Moss. Alexa Chung. Agyness Deyn. So here is to those with style and being an original.

Manic Monday: My Heart

Today my Husband leaves for 12 days. It is not the longest we have been apart, but the longer we are together, the harder it is. Funny how you get used to someone being around, the routine of daily life. But with our 6th wedding anniversary in July, it makes me truly appreciate the man I'm married to. Hurry home Bobby, I love you.

Return of Manic Mondays!

The return of Manic Mondays! With everything going on lately, this is the perfect one to start us off. So much holds me back from enjoying things to the fullest sometimes or taking advantage of amazing opportunities. Thankfully I have an incredible support system of my husband, family & faith that motivates me to keep on going. So here's to creativity and Manic Mondays!

Manic Monday

Lots going on lately. Not all of it has been good. But after a weekend with family and HGTV I feel newly inspired. This is my focus for not only today but this week. Here is to being present and working for the future.

I certainly do not look for adventure around every corner, but as per my new years resolutions, I'm trying too!

Manic Monday

Had a great little weekend in Vegas with the Husband, didn't even get around to trying out Blogger's mobile app. I tried to take tons of pictures and will get around to a Vegas post soon. But for now, here is a little something for your manic Monday. This really hit me when I saw it on my Mom's Facebook page.

Manic Monday

Another Manic Monday. Last week was filled with busy-ness, lots of meetings, and new challenges. Even the weekend seemed full of work. This week I'm focusing on positive changes that I have control over and surrendering all to God. On Friday Hubs and I are heading to Vegas. He got me tickets to see Garth Brooks as a Christmas/Valentine's Day gift. I can hardly wait to eat good food, take in all the lights and spend time with my love watching the Bellagio fountain show. Here is the show/song that played when my Hubs proposed. Hope it gets you through this Manic Monday. ;-)

Manic Monday: Can we talk?

I usually try not to wax poetic on this here blog, my fav blogs are always the ones that are short, sweet and loaded with original photos. But on Friday night my husband and I read through Luke 12 and Jesus' teaching on money and possessions really hit me.

²² Then, turning to his disciples, Jesus said, “That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food to eat or enough clothes to wear. ²³ For life is more than food, and your body more than clothing. ²⁴ Look at the ravens. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for God feeds them. And you are far more valuable to him than any birds!²⁵ Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? ²⁶ And if worry can’t accomplish a little thing like that, what’s the use of worrying over bigger things?

 ²⁷ “Look at the lilies and how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. ²⁸ And if God cares so wonderfully for flowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith?

 ²⁹ “And don’t be concerned about what to eat and what to drink. Don’t worry about such things. ³⁰ These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers all over the world, but your Father already knows your needs. ³¹ Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and he will give you everything you need.

 ³² “So don’t be afraid, little flock. For it gives your Father great happiness to give you the Kingdom.

 ³³ “Sell your possessions and give to those in need. This will store up treasure for you in heaven! And the purses of heaven never get old or develop holes. Your treasure will be safe; no thief can steal it and no moth can destroy it. ³⁴ Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.

Since the new year, I have been consumed by everyday life. Keeping my new years resolutions has been difficult but now I realize why. I haven't given them to God. I tried to do them on my own without focusing on the Kingdom. So in the spirit of honesty and transparency, I recommit myself to seeking the Kingdom of God above all else. I hope that by this post there will be some degree of accountability. I will still do posts on good times, fashion finds, and great design but with a heart focused on the Kingdom and strength that only comes from our Lord. So here is to a fresh start and new perspective! (and a little inspiration for your manic Monday ;)

Manic Monday

In light of my new years resolutions, I have decided to start a "themed" or regular posting on Mondays, since Mondays are usually miserable and manic. I will post something inspirational or what I am doing to keep my new years resolutions. I think it is a good way to keep myself accountable and see progress (progress not perfection!). So here it goes. The first official Manic Monday.

Resolution #1 - To Enjoy The Present
