Aloha jane

Isn't it amazing how easy it is to lose track of your life..
to much work ,not enough play .. to much sad , not enough joy..
just getting caught up in the everyday hustle of it all ..
this has been me lately and i didn't totally realize it til today..

life has been good , great even but man i haven't been indulging in the things that really refresh my soul , i haven't spent enough time with my husband just laughing.. take photos, going for a walk, sipping mint tea.. the simple things ... i have been to busy with the rush and push of life..

So today i am going to go take photos , i will make a point to enjoy Matt more. i will cut myself some slack and realize i am a good woman who works hard ,loves hard , and deserves to smile and
enjoy her life..

i pray you take a moment to track down your life too :)

it is amazing what a trip to target after weeks of work and homemaking can do for a girl who was just hours earlier in tears because she felt under appreciated.. but then poof , a good talk and a dress later .. so much better..

i've been working so hard around my house for so long that i haven't put anytime into myself outwardly (other then losing some weight) .. my eyebrows have become big bushes , my hair was a hot mess, and my tan is very patchy .. i tend to go in cycles with my fanciness.. sometime i totally abandon looking nice all together ..
for periods of time i wear tees and yoga pants daily .. then sometimes i like to fancy it up (for me anyway) and bust out the mac makeup , the tweezers, and a pretty dress ..

im totally random in everything i do so why should the way i look be any different .. :)

but im feeling better then i was earily today .. i have a great best friend of a hubby and a little target time helped too ..

posting from the ol iPhone

well howdy. I'm snuggled up in bed and realized I hadn't posted much lately so I figured I'd say hello. My nose is super stuffy! It is very annoying. I just watched the hills ( yes, in a total dork)
life has been good lately. I'm so grateful to God for that. Alrighty I'm off to sleep. Just wanted to send a lil hello.

every little bit helps

Tonight Matt , me , and some good friends went to see "Grand Canyon : River at Risk" .. it is a beautiful movie!
and it really drove home that im so glad i try to live mindfully of our world God gave us & made me want to go for some things i had been debating about like Rain barrels and and such .

Every little good change any one of us makes helps , i do believe this ! so although i know i can't save the world , i do believe i can make a ripple of hope that will hopefully encourage the next person and the next and so one to do their little part to make positive change in our world .. and little by little , our baby steps will become giant leaps of great change ..
