welcome to my world
It's been a few days since I've posted...I thought I would pull back the veil, I mean curtain, and share a little more about my world. I have also been blog tagged by a few people lately (Planning Forever Events, Earthfriendly Weddings)...A few things about me you may not know...
1. I like to do as I say: I try to live a sustainable lifestyle in everything I do, from reducing my consumption, to lowering my footprint (shopping thrift stores, using public transportation.)
2. I am very likely to pick-up discarded furniture from the street. I've done this since forever (I used to go on yard sale hunts with my Grandmother Saturdays and Sundays).
3. Because I am a scavenger, I tend to be a little bit of a pack rat; so I do forced editing and organizing on a regular basis. I am constantly giving things to friends, and going to the local donation spot in the neighborhood.
4. I like to make things, witness the beaded necklace made from vintage glass beads, and the silly card with fuzzy the caterpillar. I also remake and repurpose many items...the bird was a holiday decoration, now serves as a curtain tieback on a piece of fabric from the 70's; the only thing new in my daughters room is her crib.
5.Speaking of which, some of you may not know that I have an (almost) 8 month old daughter, Sydney Lucille. I take care of her and work from home. But on beautiful Fall days like today, she gets all of my time because she so loves to be outside in the sun with the breeze on her little happy face.
Sometimes I get pulled in so many directions, opportunities come up out of nowhere, my own sense of drive and purpose accelerates. This is when I talk to my husband, look at my daughter, take a deep breathe and let it all go. If you're like me, this needs to happen pretty much daily. I hope I help you find a little balance in life, and give you ways to be the person you want to be in the world, because that's all any of this is really about. Peace.
