Fresh Morning



    Everyday is a new day. A new beginning. A fresh start. The sun is rising upon the earth, never has today happened before. Anything is possible today. Everything can be approach in new ways; if I let go of my yesterday, my past and give way to what is happening in the now....
    I have been stuck in the mind-set of "thinking rather than doing" "living in the past or living in the future of ..." these 2 ways do not work for me anymore. When I wake in the morning I want to welcome the fresh air and sun on my face and embrace the reality that even though it may seem like today is just "another day" I will get up knowing that with God, everything is starting over once again. (Get out of the rut in my head that bogs me down and pulls me in the opposite direction...start living and start living today) I shouldn't have time to stop and think about living my life, I should be out living and doing it. (Reflecting and contemplating are alright...but I think you know what I mean...at least I do, and this is my blog...question please inquire to me). MTH is something that I hope will help me ...live each day moment by moment, because that is all we have and that is all that matters.
    My blog has been a mess, then an attempt at organization, and then an attempt at being kept up to date. The tabs are true...although they need updating into a more real perspective and what is actually going on. I am determined to post about things that I want to happen in my life, take pictures of me making things happen, opening my eyes to the life that is going on around me...and most of all...stepping out of my comfort zone and living...actually 100% living.
      Stop analyzing and over thinking everything that comes into your life, or planning things that are going to happen...open your eyes to what IS happening and to what IS going on...that is God right there for you.

Bests / MTH



   My dear friend, Carissa, and Melissa came to visit me 2 weekends ago. This was a much needed  visit; filled with many lovely activities and created many memories. It is a great feeling to have my 2 dear ones with me in my apartment on Main; however, the bittersweet feeling of them leaving came too soon....never the less; it was nice to have my 2-worlds collide into 1. :)
   Although we are all graduated and pursuing our dream in careers and personal life; we still find ourselves laying on the couch, giggling, and talking about anything and everything. I truly believe it's the friends that connect with our spirit and soul that are the ones that will be in our lives forever.
   Being from the 'burbs of MPLS...it's fun to play the "Country Lifestyle" card. A friend of mine has horses and so we spent the day riding horses and taking pictures of 'Country Life' at his farm.  The pictures were intended for my sister-in-law (Katie) she teaches Kindergarten in Chicago. She is doing a 'Farm' unit with her kids...some of them have never seen or heard a Cow 'MOO'! I was glad to help out. :)

Great company on a Saturday
     One of the things we did on the 'Eve of my dear ones arriving in the SW, was something called MTH. I was completely unaware as to what this meant; all I heard through the aisles of Wal-Mart while getting groceries was, "This will be great for our MTH tonight". While sitting around my kitchen table Friday evening, I was introduced to 'MTH'.
    Making Things Happen, is basically a challenge. A challenge to stop thinking and wishing for things in life and for things to be a certain way...and to go out and make it happen. A challenge to make your dreams come true; stop entertaining the thoughts an ideas...and go and do it; put it to action! Carissa and Melissa had started it prior to our visit...I dove in that evening (I am still to this day in the works of it).
MTH...
  Check out the site for yourself. I cannot do it justice by explaining it, Lara does it fabulously. Basically, you are meant to live life to the fullest...and that should consist of your dreams and what fires you up. We are deeply loved and opening our eyes to the truth of this allows us to begin acting on our dreams and creating those lists (with purpose) to attain those goals, plans etc. On Lara's site you can find encouragement through personal testimonies, scripture, quote-thoughts, etc. This is a great site that is both uplifting and encouraging. If you feel alone and that no one will understand your dreams...here is a start CLICK.
