Staying Open

July 14, 2012 · 1 Comment

{dahlia season}

 “By staying open to how life is appearing at this moment, free of your concepts of how it {should} be, you create the opportunity for miracles to occur. And if do what you love, follow your heart’s direction, the path to fulfillment in life will naturally unfold before you.” – Chris and Janet Atwood

Today was the end of one journey in my life, but the beginning of another. It was my last day working at bloomflora, a place I helped open its doors and manage the daily tasks that were required of a business. Although, I will not be waking up each morning, working alongside beautiful flowers {which I will deeply miss} I discovered my true self and what and how I want my life to be. We all question ourselves, our abilities and what we want to do {especially if you’re 23 and trying to find a lifestyle career, not a job} I truly believe things happen for a reason, and even though my stay with bloomflora wasn’t for long I know it won’t be a definite end, for I met a thoroughly inspiring role model and friend who just like me, believes in dreaming many big dreams and making them reality.

Just like the quote I posted above, I’m not worried of what lies ahead because if you stay open to life and let go of negative thoughts, then life can only present you with good . Life is about enjoying the things you love, and if you don’t do the things that make you happy then you’re not living so today {and right before I started this blog} I decided to do just that. I enjoyed my last day of being creative, decorating our window displays, and laughing. Then chose to head to the book store and search for books that spoke to me, and where did I find myself instantly walking towards…the cooking section.

I’ve always had a passion for cooking and baking, I know that because when I see pictures of food I don’t simply say “that looks delicious” I tell myself “I’m going to do that and make it my own!” So, I picked up Sweet Cream and Sugar Cones by Kris Hoogerhyde, Anne Walker, and Dabney Gough and Very Fond of Food A Year in Recipes by Sophie Dahl {I’ve only read a few pages and already am captivated and filled with memories of Portugal, food and family gatherings}. My spontaneous purchase…Dream Big staring OLIVIA a collection of illustrations and quotes from “really big dreamers.”

They say it’s plan a vacation day & I’m always They say it’s plan a vacation day & I’m always ready to make travel plans, especially after this weird snowless gloom of a January. Travel really is the best gift we can give ourselves if we’re lucky enough to & it really is one of my biggest sources of inspiration. 

Have you ever been somewhere whose design was more than just beautiful decor, but intentional details meant to inspire & evoke your every sense. The moment I was welcomed by the kind staff & entered my gorgeous room, I knew @areiasdoseixo was a special place. My September stay was a short one, but my amazing massage, the impeccable design & thoughtful details like the music that changed as the day flowed, delicious cookies I need to recreate & beautiful ocean views … it is a place I now cherish for the memories & inspiration that have left a mark on me. Next time I’m staying longer😉 

Have you been somewhere whose design/concept immensely inspired you? Well go daydream, it’s the end of the month & you deserve this wanderlust moment✨

Not one to be led by trends, but seems there’s a Not one to be led by trends, but seems there’s a little something we’re all looking forward to … Color! But there in lies the complex beauty of color. We connect & interpret it in so many personal ways — some of us are drawn to the beauty in the soft muted tones, while others it’s the bright rich hues. Each view & approach, a special way of embracing color✨🌿🌈And I am here for all it!
