Two Years

July 10, 2014 · 3 Comments

IMG_2624

I’m sitting in the very same garden, on a much more humid and sunny day, when I first grabbed my laptop and decided to start this little blog of mine. It has come a long way from its young and constant evolving days. Two years of learning and being inspired by great bloggers and entrepreneurial, motivating woman making their dreams reality. And just like last year, it completely flew past me that I’ve been using the The Dreamery as my little happy escape, way to write, inspire, and create for two years now.

IMG_1785

In two years, not only have I worked on my own to transform the design and content of the blog to reflect my goals, I’ve also worked to create The Dreamery into the business I aspire it to be. They say that your dreams can never become a reality if you don’t work hard towards them, but that also involves voicing your ideas and telling people what you envision. You can’t simply just keep them to yourself, scared that others might not fully understand them, or even worse, doubt yourself and your potential to make them happen.

In the course of the last year, and even in just the last six months, I grew with this little blog of mine. I was never the girl who enjoyed writing, because I found expressing myself simply too complicated. Yet, here I am now missing the days when I sat in the garden and just wrote, letting myself go and sharing my creations, because it just made me feel happier. And that in the small hope, that the simple things that made me happy, and feel whole, could inspire others as well.

When I first began blogging, I’ll admit I shared it with very few people as most just didn’t understand nor cared to. But since then, I’ve learned that the people who truly know me, although don’t necessarily fully understand the blogging world, support me and my ideas, and are genuinely interested. They take initiative to seek my advice or skills, think of ways to further me and my dreams, and really do believe in my services and goals. And there’s not better felling of encouragement than that. I’ve always believed in myself, but I guess I never believed my full potential, and I can admit now that I definitely wasn’t confident in my dreams but this blog changed that for me. I’ve grown with this blog, into someone more sure of their dreams and passions, more proud to voice them and let everyone know, and more sure of the person that I am and want to be. I know what I want to do with my life now, it’s very much possible, just a lot of hard work that excites me in the most positive and motivating way.

IMG_2856

I wouldn’t care if no one read this blog, but the fact that so many wonderful bloggers so puts a smile on my face. I can’t wait to share so many more moments in my life and creations, and although having a full-time job has prevented me from sharing as much as I’d like, I’m motivated every day by the amazing bloggers I’ve mentioned before. The ones who have day jobs, successful blogs and numerous side jobs brought from their blogs yet balance it all while still having a fulfilled personal life.

Plus, I’ll also mention that sometimes you have to be careful what you wish for. Because like most I hoped to spend my summer days at my own pace, relaxing in the garden, making new recipes, traveling and enjoying the warm weather, but life has thrown me a curveball, or should I say a literal accidental mis-step, because instead of spending the summer being active, I’ll be home taking care of recovering from a knee surgery. I’m very lucky I can walk, and yes I’ve very scared to undergo my first surgery, I’m determined to be in better conditions than I was. I know this will be a long recovery time for me, in which I value the ability of walking and use of my legs so much more. For someone who is constantly active doing things, this will definitely be a challenge for me, but I guess it will also be a time to do all the relaxing and quiet things I’ve wanted to do.

IMG_2594First on the list, finally learn how to play my ukulele, maybe I’ll take up cross stitching again, who knows. Regardless, I’m thankful for the support of my family, friends, love and job. Plus, it will also give me plenty of time to work on ideas to grow The Dreamery even more. I’m still reminiscing over my Rivera Mayan travels, and decided these slightly random pictures taken throughout the week made me smile everyday while I was there, so it was fitting to share them today.IMG_2884 IMG_2608 IMG_2580IMG_1499IMG_2585IMG_1690 IMG_1509IMG_2598 IMG_2639 IMG_2643 IMG_2651IMG_1504IMG_2572 IMG_2657IMG_2851 IMG_4201 IMG_4209 IMG_4212 IMG_4214 IMG_4216 IMG_4217 IMG_4224IMG_1847IMG_2748IMG_2798IMG_1849 IMG_2753 IMG_2756 IMG_1680 IMG_2757 IMG_1699 IMG_1786 IMG_2852 IMG_2858 IMG_2863 IMG_1823 IMG_1825 IMG_1827 IMG_2895 IMG_2901 IMG_2908

Dreamery Headshot_2020

A Lover of Nature & Kindness, constantly smitten by the simple pleasures of life. Travel fills my soul with bliss & inspiration. Flowers are my weakness, a slice of homemade pie makes my heart sing. I love the outdoors & live for al fresco dinner parties, cozy candlelit romantic affairs with warm fires & blankets to share.

I dream about these things, it’s true. Yes, it’s all the small details in life that drive me & everything I do because we all deserve to celebrate every special moment in our lives…

I’ve never been one to connect with the color pu I’ve never been one to connect with the color purple much, & yes I believe everyone connects to colors in certain ways. And yet, Clematis are some of my favorite flowers🌿

For a brief few Spring days each year, the garden is a vision of purples....deep rich violets that almost look black, their sheen like velvet, delicate lavenders & pretty mauves that flutter in the breeze. Nature is a true delight for the soul🤍

They’re calling for a too hot, too soon kind of weekend, but we’ll be surrounded w. love celebrating a special wedding at a lovely location! Hope this weekend brings you moments of rest & joy, that allow you to look at all that is blooming🌱…
tiny joyous things🌿 ... I try not to lose sight tiny joyous things🌿 ... I try not to lose sight of the fact I get to create & "work" w. beautiful flowers; one of the things I love so much & one of the joyful parts of creating & sharing my work w. others. But this whole social media thing is weird right, the world is weird & broken right now -- as creatives seems like are new age question is "do I post this pretty picture when this is really happening right now?! but it's also kind of my job to put my work out there for others to see, right?!" ... but I’m learning, funny enough, by some inspiring women on this platform, it's ok to feel all these things while also sharing the joyous, cool & helpful things we are all working on, creating & hoping to bring into this world. Life is filled w. beautiful & sad moments, happiness, joy, grief, fear, doubt, love. All the tiny things🤍

& if anyone watched last night's This is Us, how beautiful was their telling of one's final moments, looking back at life. Ugh my heart😢
There’s one word to describe the first full even There’s one word to describe the first full event of the season…ethereal🤍

Event season is in full swing & it’s nice to finally step aside from planning to bring all the ideas, time & details to life!
“We are like {blossoms}; holding on, letting go, “We are like {blossoms}; holding on, letting go, rising & falling into our weathered souls…” - Angie Weiland-Crosby🌼

May is the start of a busy few months of events, so I’m going to make sure I prioritize Rest whenever I can. But also plenty of garden days, living & cherishing simple moments — because when the busy days will feel like a blur or the state of the world (big/small) only adds to the mental drain, I know these will be the things that keep me going🤍
