What if.. Little Inspirations

Hey Wonderful Souls!

This is a thought that has come up for me more than once over the last few months.. I think it’s trying to tell me something! So I thought I would share it with you, as I suspect I am not the only one who resists exactly what I am asking for because it either, scares me or I expect it to “look” different.

What if that which I am resisting is actually what I seek?

What if “it” looked or sounded different then I thought it “should” or would?

What if I stopped resisting so much and just allowed myself to lean into it, to mindfully see what lessons, growth or opportunity could be within it?

What if I stopped blaming my outside circumstances for me not being where I want to be in certain areas of my life and I remembered that I can design my life the way I want no matter what my outside circumstances are?

What if I stopped resisting the truth,the whispers and started living by those instead?

What if?

Some questions I will be asking myself and they just might help you too!

What is it I am resisting?

How do I think it “should” look?

If I stop resisting “it” do I lose myself, my values?

What opportunity could be wrapped in that which I resist?

June theme: Connection and some goodies for you!

Hey Inspiring Souls!

Every month I am doing a theme last month was “Power of Thoughts” I have to say that it proved to be a really powerful theme for me. One I will carry forward with me and continue on with (as is true with many of the themes I will choose going forward) I am more aware of where I think and speak in lack, defeat and fear. Some great things have happened, internally and externally.

This months theme is “Connect” this is a word that for me is one of my core values and has many layers of meaning for me. Connect with myself, my spirituality, my body, in relationships and the list goes on.. It’s a multi layered word.

A few ways I will be connecting this month:

• Gather images, ideas, articles, words etc on my Pinterest board for June theme Connect
• Go to AZ to see my sister-in-law and her ever-growing little family <3
• Reach out more to those I love, to those I admire
• Yoga and plenty of water, this helps me connect and take care of my body
• Daily spiritual practice
• Go to the Ocean
• Journal, write lots!

• Date with hubby 

Those are a few ways I will be connecting this month. I would also LOVE to connect with you awesome souls! I have a few offers for you that I really hope you will take advantage of.

Friday 5 faves-Videos

Well Hello Wonderful You!

It’s Friday 5 Faves again.. this time around I share 5 of my favorite videos! These range from funny to soulful.

Really any of the Soulpancake videos are awesome, but this is one of my faves. The awesome thing is we can do this with our cameras (camera phones totally count too!)

I shared this one a while back, but I really love it. A unique  way to touch upon an important message.

This Yoga video by Kimberly Wilson is one I use at leat 1-2x a week

This video I really adore, her message is so so powerful, I personally cry each time I watch it! It’s a longer one but totally worth the time:

Not only do I love the song, but I simply love this video an inspiring flash mob!

Energy- Journal Prompt

Hey Wonderful You!

This weeks journal prompt is something that good for us to tap into and to know.

What gives me energy? 

For me a few things that give me energy are:

• Drinking enough water
• Movement, Yoga or cardio or just getting up and getting the circulation going
• Seeking inspiration, inspiration “hunting” is my fuel I don’t think there is a day that goes by where I don’t do at least a little in some way.
• Creating

• Going to the Ocean
• Music
• When I am mindful about the way I speak to myself, so affirming thoughts as opposed to those of defeat.

Those are some of mine, what are yours?

Friday Five Faves- Sites

Hey Wonderful Souls!

It’s Friday Five Faves time! This time I share my Five Fave Sites. With so much good stuff out there in the WWW it’s sometimes hard. But these are the sites I find myself going to again and again. Several of them are likely not news to you and that’s ok, maybe it will be a reminder of a site you love but rarely go to or just a reminder to think about and soak in some of your faves!

1. Pinterest (My pinterest goodies!) It’s more than just pretty stuff (though there is a ton of that and nothing wrong with it even if that was all there was to it!) This is a great way to have visuals of your visions, goals, things you want to explore and keeping track of great stuff on the web.
2. YouTube (My YouTube stuff!) There is so much stuff to get lost in here, however there is also a lot to learn in this site. You can type in just about anything and find a video on it!
3. Goodreads. This is a site where you can track your books that you want to read, that you have read, there are groups and there are reading challenges (that you set for yourself) it’s a great way to track, i love it!
4. Amazon. Look I know this one is not new to you but really it’s such a good site for finding all sorts of stuff, researching books ( I do not have much in the way of bookstores locally anymore ) finding all sorts of good stuff from jewelry to vitamins!
5. Pic Monkey A great site to add some fun editing and also text to your photos fairly easily and free!

What are some of your fave sites?
