I hope everyone is having a wonderful fall and that November is beautiful for you. For me, it's time to start listening to Christmas music. December will go by so quickly, that Christmastime needs to start as soon as possible in my book.<br />
<br />
Lately I've been thinking about the new year since it will be here before we know it. There are new goals to be set and lessons to be learned from 2012. Have you ever felt like you have made some choices you will never be able to take back? Something that was said, a decision made, a look given. There's nothing like that feeling that is a mistake which weighs on you. 1 Corinthians 14:33 keeps popping up lately, reminding me that God is not the author of confusion, but of peace. If what you are experiencing doesn't consist of peace, it's a good time to start evaluating how to fix that with the new year on it's way. There's always a chance for <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">amazing</span>.<br />

The small things are wonderful to look for in life, but on a more serious note, I was thinking about the small things we do or say after I read an email from someone recently. In revising what they said, sometimes we think nobody is watching and nobody will notice. Or our decisions, no matter how small, won’t matter. But they do matter. Those decisions are dictating the next step you will be able to take. Sometimes the “small things” matter the most. They seem to determine our larger portion. The tragedy is that they are small and we often overlook them or begin to believe that they cannot possibly matter.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">
In trying times when there's temptation to take “shortcuts" to get where we need to go, even if they seem small and meaningless, we must hold firm and do the right thing.</div>
<div class="p2" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">"<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 23px;">Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong</span>”</span></div>
<div class="p2" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 23px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">1 Corinthians 16:13 </span></span></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1" style="text-align: center;">
So when it comes to your life, try not to overlook the "small things". No matter if it's making time for yourself and watching your favorite movie for the millionth time, or how you treat others, such as a coworker that is difficult to work with.</div>

Instead of looking at life as good and bad situations, maybe a better way to look at it would be everything as experiences. Life is the gift of experience. And oftentimes after the failure or "bad", something better can come along.</div>

I received a text yesterday which said, "When we carry unforgiveness, it's as if we move about dragging an anchor never getting anywhere. Let it go. It just isn't worth it.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Choose</span> to love<br />
and <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">experience</span> love." <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought it was a nice reminder and something that should be shared. I don't think we can love fully if we harbor unforgiveness, which applies to any kind of love, whether brotherly, motherly, or the "at </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
first sight" kind of love. No matter what kind, choosing to love means</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">bearing</span>
all things and defending and holding others up.
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">believing</span> all things, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">hoping</span> all things and never giving up. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">enduring</span> all things, persevering and remaining loyal. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
And experiencing love....well that is just something that you'll have to do yourself!<br />
<br />

And since it's almost Valentine's day AND I finally found one of my
favorite photo shoots of all time (bookmarked this time so I don't lose
it!), I just had to post these even though they've been around a while
(from <a href="http://shannonnicolesmith.com/blog/2010/01/katy-and-jahred-vintage-orlando-photography/">Shannon Nicole Smith)</a>. You've probably seen these, but either way, pretty much the cutest thing ever.</div>

Henri Matisse, the famous French artist, once said, "What I dream of is an art of balance."</div>

I think nowadays I dream of that too. With the kind of life most people lead, it seems that we are trying to find that balance of work and play, friends and family, chores and hobbies.</div>

I think the ultimate balance is being able to do what you love for work, designating time to spend with the people important to you, and enjoying the journey that is made up of every minute of every day of your life. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Balance is about being there for those in need and helping others. It's about using our God given abilities to bring that spark and joy, not only to our life, but to the lives of others that we may touch along the way. It's about taking adventures and experiencing new places. It's about the scary and unknown mixed with goals and security. It's the line between being driven and hardworking and relaxed and free. All good things lie in balance and the secret to all this is a bit of a mystery. I think managing our time correctly is important so that we don't end up working all the time and miss out on life, or vice versa.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How do you manage to balance your own life? Do some of you find it hard to blog in your busy schedules?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What are your thoughts or secrets on the subject? I would love to hear!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Balance, peace, and joy are the fruit of a successful life. It
starts with recognizing your talents and finding ways to serve others
by using them."</div>

I used to send letters back and forth regularly with my family there. I would keep all the stamps from them, so I decided to make a little collage of stamps so I can always see it and remember special times. Love when art can double as sentimental value!</div>

What a busy month! It feels like there hasn't been a moment to stand still...from getting sick multiple times and work, to preparing for the holidays. And now we are looking at a new year! It seems a bit typical to talk about a new start as we approach a new year, but something about a new year is too inspiring not to talk about it.</div>

Whether you can't wait for 2011 to end or it was a year that brought great opportunities your way, having a new year really is the best time to evaluate what you want for your life in the new year. I feel like setting goals is motivating. Today would be a great day to start evaluating how you may want to change this new year. It could sound small, such as truly taking a day off, or it may be starting a new business. Whatever it is, it will be big to you and the quality of your life. Don't be afraid to jump in and make those changes and follow your dreams.</div>

On a recent trip to Anthropologie, I came across these cute snow globes they had! I always love seeing how the store is decorated, oftentimes with every day items that create unique works of art throughout the store. So when I saw these snow globes, I actually thought they were just for decoration, then I picked it up and saw the price tag. That's when I knew I could just make my own!</div>

Jar, little trees, glue, glue gun, glitter, paint brush, quilt batting (for snow. This is just what I had on hand. Any kind of fake snow would be great!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used the paint brush to add glue on the trees, then sprinkled them with glitter. I used a glue gun to attach the trees and snow to the lid. I had these cute little poinsettias that I thought would be a nice little touch. The possibilities are endless!</div>

For the size I made, it would have cost $25 at Anthropologie. Some cost even more.

I saw this tree stump coaster DIY on <a href="http://abeautifulmess.typepad.com/my_weblog/2011/10/tree-stump-coaster-diy-.html">A Beautiful Mess Blog</a> and just had to try it! That blog has so many wonderful DIY ideas and it is full of everything beautiful! These coasters are really easy to make and I love how they turned out. I have found that sewing is a wonderful, relaxing past time in the evenings whenever there is some free time!</div>

So if you haven't heard already, Naive Thieves is one amazing band. Their music is the kind that can suddenly make you feel happy inside. There is just something about it that lifts you up. I know for me it makes me think of all good things... the fresh flowers of spring, warm summer nights, crisp fall air, Christmas morning, a blanket of fresh fallen snow. I could go on, but I think you get the picture.<br />
<br />
And above all that, these guys are some of the nicest guys around. Their kind and gracious attitudes, along with everything else, sums Naive Thieves up to be worth buying and listening to...right now!<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoy.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I know it is easier said then done to change something. If you really have the passion and drive behind a decision to change something about yourself or your life, I know it is possible. And each change, even when hard, will eventually turn into lessons learned. Joy will come, scars will be healed, hearts will come together, things will change again. It is hard to see the light during times of hard change, but we must carry on. And if you are experiencing good changes, then enjoy every minute of it!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Six months ago, Vanessa went back to Brazil (where she was born) and devoted that time to focus on textile design. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Now, Vanessa has moved back to the States, exhibited her work at PrintSource NY, and has opened up her <a href="http://www.vanessa-adao.com/shop/">online store</a>! She uses her hand-drawn and digital skills, and incredible creativity, to design prints for interiors and fashion.<br />

Soon there will be the Bonita collection, which is folky inspired, the Antonieta collection, which is French inspired, and the Ludica collection, which will have watercolor-inspired/dreamy patterns.<br />
<br />
Vanessa has been an inspiration to me. I admire people who follow their dreams as much as she does in order to make dreams become reality. She is such an amazing designer, so please check out her store <a href="http://www.vanessa-adao.com/shop/">here</a>!!</div></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div></div>Poppies and Sunshinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11794995513595150842noreply@blogger.com31tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793020988152858604.post-89069863260987688822011-09-01T12:12:00.000-07:002011-09-01T12:12:21.769-07:00A Day in California<div style="text-align: center;">This video shows why I love California so much. And it is an amazing video too! It was a project that was worked on periodically for a year and a half. It is made up of over 10,000 pictures that were taken by <a href="http://vimeo.com/27359051">Ryan Killackey</a> and his wife.<br />
<br />
Watch and enjoy.</div><br />
