I recently attended a goal setting session at my local lululemon. I went with my friend and an open mind, hoping to learn something new. The event began with introductions, then a brief visualization of where we hope to find ourselves 10 years from now. I’m trying not to judge myself too harshly, but it kinda seems like I want it all…
Since starting the Whole Living Action Plan last week, I’ve noticed how seldom I acknowledge daily victories. Small, quiet steps go ignored while I look towards the finish line and hold off on uncorking the metaphoric bubbly. Do you struggle with the same? Tiny triumphs are critical building blocks—each one a glittering, golden brick worth celebrating…
This fall, I will be celebrating my blog’s 3-year anniversary. Three years of showing up, sharing inspiration and connecting with more creative souls than I ever imagined possible. The keys to a happy blogger? Make a plan, set realistic expectations, write as often as you can, and believe in a little magic. Then wait to see what happens next. I’m quite fond of outlines and lists…
Happy Friday, lovelies! I hope your week is wrapping up nicely. When I called for guest bloggers awhile back, I receive a response from @SuburbanYogini. Rachel is a punk rock yogini, teacher, writer, massage therapist, sprinkler of fairy dust + lover of all things glitter, cake, kitties, pugs and Dave Grohl…
Hi there! I’m Analiese, and I blog about food, health, and holistic living at Green Plate Studios, though some of you may recognize me from my former blog, Tulips & Tea. As a long-time reader and fan of Kaileen’s blog, I’m so excited to be guest posting today…
She writes in a pretty red notebook with red painted nails. Sipping mint tea next to her Mister, lovingly tinkering with her MacBook Air. Her cheeks grow red in the warm sunshine. A few days ago she ran 10 miles, nearly. There was a point when she stopped to walk. A few points, actually. Towards the very end when her body was tired. I don’t know what she was thinking about…
Hello sweet friends! I’m grateful for another lovely weekend gone by and am excited about the week ahead. Today’s Sparklitsa Sunday post is the eighth in a series of interviews with creative and inspiring folks on the web. Liz Franco from SRSLYLIZ was featured three weeks ago, and tonight I’m excited to share an interview with Kimberly Wilson…
Hello lovely friends. I hope you’re fishing up a delightful week with a bit of relaxation and blog reading. I had a great weekend, and am delighted to share tonight’s post. It is the sixth in a series of interviews with creative and inspiring folks on the web. Analiese from Tulips & Tea was last week’s feature, and today I am happy to introduce Melita from Gussying Up the Tuttle…
Yesterday’s prompt on The Mindfulist got me thinking about ways I can simplify my life. Are there things, feelings, habits or to-do’s that I could wash away with no (or very little) impact? Am I using words, snacks, email and reality TV to fill in gaps that would otherwise be inhabited by empty space and silence? Of course, one hundred times YES to all these questions…
Now that summer has arrived and settled in for awhile, I’m counting down the days to bid it farewell. In addition to cooler temperatures, I’ve found myself craving time for yoga, creative pursuits and cooking healthy meals. Thanks to a few remarkable women, I’ve stumbled upon a delightful book about better utilizing the 168 hours in your week…
