What has been going on with the energy this week? Has anyone else noticed how crazy it’s been? Wide swings from the positive to the negative have been creating energetic chaos in my house. With the vast differences in feelings about the news this week, the new moon on Tuesday and Mercury retrograde, it’s amazing our energetic selves are still functioning! I blame my killer migraine yesterday on all the energetic insanity. There is an upside though: I find my mind is simply overflowing with creativity. With so much going on that energy has to have an outlet…and if mine decides it wants a creative outlet, then a creative outlet it shall have! Are you noticing any energetic shifts or changes in your life this week?
Ok. Time to give thanks for all the awesomeness in life…
Things I Love Thursday:
The Better Late than Never Edition
Shooting my first wedding! I’m so excited for the opportunity to document such a special day! * Starting my newsletter! I’m really hoping it will help us grow into an even more awesome and thriving community that promotes art, eccentricity, and positivity. If you haven’t signed up yet (and yes, there are perks to signing up) you can just click here to join the party. * Getting encouragement from people I love and trust. It’s the BEST. * Finding out I did NOT dislocate my shoulder! Woohoo! Turns out my hyper-mobility just messed my tendon up a bit. Nothing a cortisone shot, some acupuncture and a little at-home physical therapy can’t fix! * Mother’s Day! Where would I be without her? I try to celebrate my mother’s awesomeness whenever possible, but I still like the fact that there’s a special day set aside just for that very purpose. Hooray for Moms the world over! * Have I mentioned new opportunities? Cause they are raining from the sky as of late. I don’t like to count chickens so I’m not saying a word until everything’s finalized, but once it’s a done deal you’ll be the first to know…Ok…actually the second. The honey gets to know first. * How freaking cute Mischa the wonder cat is. You would think after 12 years I’d be over it, but I’m totally not. He melts my heart every day. He’s an excellent conversationalist too. Seriously. You should hear the talks we have. I suspect him to be a genius. * Watching House Hunters International. It’s so addictive! * Fasting to kick my addiction to sweets. Although I typically eat sugar-free sweets, my cravings are ridiculous. Time for me to get it back under control. I kicked sugar before and, although not fun, it did make the sweetness of natural foods return. Fruits and veggies taste so much better when your system isn’t bombarded by refined and artificial sweeteners. * Sleep. It’s a rare commodity these days. * Love. What a wonderfully wonderful emotion. Love is pure gratitude. *
So what’s rockin’ your world this week? Please share your lists or links.
Kisses & Chaos,
