...begin...



Don't ask where I found Liz Lamoreux because I'm not quite sure.  From a link on another blog, through Pinterest or maybe Brene Brown ... I just don't recall.  And honestly it doesn't matter.  She's a gift.  She writes this blog with advice about being present, being me, trusting your heart ... all the things that we need to be reminded each day .. sometimes throughout the day!

She has a shop on Etsy where I found this item called, 'a mystery soul mantra chosen just for you' in the form of a metal tag on a necklace.  I'm all about believing there are no mistakes, so I knew that whatever she chose for me would be the 'right' thing.

The package arrived today with wonderful cards inside that I will use as bookmarks and reminders on my nightstand to see each day.  They say, 'trust your heart,' 'open up and live,' and even 'dear beautiful soul may you give yourself the gift of five breaths, may you stand tall in the truth that you are deeply loved, and may you open your heart even more today and may you know you are enough..'

Wow!

And the best part.  The necklace.

it says ..

'begin'

How could she have known I was getting ready to begin another tremendous chapter in my life.  A move,  a new job, a new adventure ... all this newness.  And what was the message?  Begin.  just begin.

    Lea - thanks! Our move is to Wylie - and until I looked it up I didn't realize you were in the Fort Worth area! We're originally from upstate New York, via central VA and central IL - so Texas is a complete change for us! Looking forward to the adventure!

Day 19: My first job

Memories of my childhood bakery with a cannoli …. As this roller coaster ride of emotions and outpouring continues on Day 19 challenge to blog each day in the month of November for Blogember I recall my first job. I often say that when we recall the past, things that appear to have gone on forever, are often relatively short in the grand scheme of things.  After my dad passed away when I was 8, my mom remarried a year later.  By the time I was 10 they went into business together opening a neighborhood Italian bakery on the west side of the town I grew up in. This was long before the days of Carlo's Bakery where cakes cost hundreds, even thousands of dollars. A bakery was a lot of hours and energy for very little profit back then.  To that end, I was cheap labor and was trained to bag rolls and make change at the cash register.  In retrospect it talk me a lot about customer service, the value of relationships in returning customers and how running a family b...

Day 18: Happiest Moment of my Life

For Day 18 of the Blogember challenge to blog each day during the month of November, today's topic is the Happiest Moment of my Life.  Hmmm. … this could get interesting! I believe that life is an array of moments strung together creating who we are and what we stand for.  And during those moments we encounter joy, pain, disappointment, sorrow, glee and a miriad of emotions and experiences along the way. Certainly the ones that stand out for me are the moment my daughter was born.  She was truly a gift from God - a miracle - a blessing - and long-awaited at that!  She's the life that my husband and I created from the love that we share.  And along that same vane, when I married my husband was an incredibly happy moment as well.  We didn't marry until age 35, each bringing our histories and patterns into the life we chose to share together.  It was a long road up until then, and now it's a shared one! Other happiest moments: *  Climbing...

Day 9: Favorite Online Shopping Spots

As today's topic for Blogember ; where I have committed to posting every day during the month of November - today's topic is online shopping! Likely the easiest one by far for me, as I'm truly not a big shopper.  The thought of Black Friday makes me develop hives instantaneously!  I'd much rather sit at the keyboard, make some quick decisions, enter my online coupon and click 'purchase' to confirm my shopping cart selections! 1.  Somehow it feels as though I should have a site at the number one spot where I purchase for others, and yet I have my all-time, and most visited spot Sephora !  When the box arrives on the front step, my entire family knows a box of wishes, dreams and magic is soon to be opened!  I love make-up, skin care, hair products and most of all the wonderful samples that arrive in each box!  Oh the magic! 2.  Whew, now that I've finished #1, I'm happy to say that my next favorite site is all about my daughter .. Gymboree ! ...
