Lessons Along the Way

Look what I’ve been doing! I crocheted my first ever afghan. I taught myself via Youtube. It took 49.5 hours over six weeks.

A few things I learned along the way:

  • It’s super fun to dabble with things out of your comfort zone.
  • It’s okay not to know what you’re doing.
  • Expect mistakes.
  • Sometimes you have to begin again where you are.
  • You will curse.

Pockets of Joy

Here we are in the middle of a Global Pandemic. Life is super weird right now, and we’re all trying to navigate our way through the uncertainty as best we can.

Pockets of Joy are small things occuring in my day that help me to tune into the joyful, loving, being that I am.

Some of these things are activities,

What do​ a Fabric Store, a Garden Center, and the School Supply Aisle at Target all have in Common? (It’s not what you think.)

Follow your bliss. This advice used to really piss me off. I would think to myself, “if I knew how to follow my bliss, don’t you think I’d be doing it.” 

I was super frustrated and found myself spinning in circles trying to figure it out, but it’s way easier than I made it.

The secret most folks don’t know–Bliss hides in plain sight. It’s in the most random things and in ordinary places.
