Inspiring Words

March 2, 2015 · 3 Comments

Inspiring WordsI first came across these words in an email I received at the end of January. It was definitely fitting for a new year, and since then I’ve kept it marked and on a post-it on my computer. They say it takes 40 days to foster a habit, and I’ve learned from reading How to Train a Wild Elephant: And Other Adventures in Mindfulness, that by choosing just one or two habits to focus on for that time, you are more able to instill those habits for the long run, rather than just trying to make changes all at once. Creating habits; say committing to a workout regimen or eating wholesome, or simply just smiling more, takes effort and time. Habits are created overtime, it’s our own motivation and determination for the final result, the person we aim to become, that should drive us everyday to make sure our healthy habits become our lifestyle. It may not even cross our thoughts, but habits are a crucial part of our happiness, as we live them every single day and moment of our lives. If we focus on the habits that work for us and ones that will make us better versions of ourselves, we’re much more likely to be happy, healthy, productive, and creative!

As we begin the month of March, yes I know we’ve lived through two months of the year already, and it’s almost Spring! I thought this quote was fitting for those of us who, like myself, are working towards our goals for 2015. Don’t become discouraged, we all have setbacks, keep at it – there are many wonderful things ahead!

If you’ve had some trouble keeping habits I suggest pre-ordering Gretchen Rubins’ new book Better than Before, she’s the author of The Happiness Project, and her advice is invaluable!

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…

Little Delia is turning 5 this weekend! I still ca Little Delia is turning 5 this weekend! I still can’t believe that time has passed by & I’ve been lucky to have done her birthdays since she was 1. So here’s a little walk down memory lane to all her past sweet & fun parties🌸

This Soba Tom Yum Noodle dish, inspired by @chriss This Soba Tom Yum Noodle dish, inspired by @chrissyteigen recipe wouldn’t be considered traditional but it does celebrate the beautiful Thai flavors I love. I’ll take all the spice & lemongrass please🍜😋!! It’s certainly become a staple of mine, one I’ve recreated several times & I highly recommend you save in your back pocket because it will leave you craving more...& more!! 

I used to post lots of recipes on the blog ‘til weddings/events/design took center stage & hoping to do so more again. Get this recipe on the blog now!
I read something yesterday, that made me instantly I read something yesterday, that made me instantly stop & reflect..."Some people think that having Hope makes you naive, but in my mind, it's so much harder to choose Hope over being angry or frustrated..." As someone who considers herself quite a hopeful person, I've had this on my mind since. Let's not confuse Hope w. toxic positivity {in which negative feelings or hardships are pushed aside}, when there is Hope, we still acknowledge our worries, the drawbacks of life, the sadness but still know that there is good.

We've all been doing our best nearing a year into this pandemic; the lives lost, families broken, the uncertain long-term issues, jobs, livelihoods disrupted & most recently too many people to count, struggling after a natural disaster. My heart breaks & is w. all of you, but despite the darkness, what I've also seen during these trying times...is Hope & Love. Communities & strangers coming together to help one another however way they can, even when they too are struggling to get by. That right there, is Hope. Be gentle with yourself, be gentle w. those around you. We’re all doing the best we can🤍
