Hello everyone... today for intentionality pt.6 I decided to share with you some eating healthy tips, please let me know if you have any suggestions, concerns or post ideas, check out past installments of the series and please enjoy this post. Eating healthy, it always feels fun to start but then suddenly... when you go to parties, stores, well let's just say there are cakes and cookies EVERYWHERE... so how can you manage to diet and still splurge every once and a while. I was recently listening to what we said podcast  episode (i know, I love them) and they interviewed Alex from " eat cute " the episode was so insightful. Today for intentionallity pt.6 (yahoo) I would talk about how to be an "intentional eater." All right, cakes, cookies, and pies, those things are not bad but if you are trying to do any diet, you are probably trying to watch your sugar intake, right. Well if so then i hear you, society tells us we have to look, act, and eat a certian...

today is Wednesday the 23rd. yesterday less then a mile from our house a fire shot up. lives, houses, and everything was endangered. I didn't know if I would see my stuff again. there is an impact knowing that a fatal moment could change EVERYTHING! fires have sprung up around Maui recently and I have been worried for the people affected but I hate to say this the phrase "at least it wasn't me" goes through mind when those things happen, welcome to human nature peeps... wish it wasn't so alas it is. something crazy happens when you are walking through your room saying what do I want to have, and then letting the rest go to the leaping flames. we are okay. our house is okay. but it just affects you. it's like, will I be sitting around the Christmas tree with our ornaments this year, the Terrible part is you don't know. I just wanted to mark this moment a bit of a journal entry to just say that life happens, you can't live in fear, and everything that fi...

hello, welcome back... happy wednessday! today i decided to share with you my morning routine, i belive that no one can have a strict "morning routine" or secdule but i do belive that you can have a order of some sort, and that could come in the way of being intentional about how you spend your morning. a couple of things i like to implmete is making my bed, checking all my planners and things, and have a quiet time. being intentional can just mean selecting those special things each day that make up your routine and then being able to live with the fact that the rest might not get done. if you have watched my most resent post where i share with you  my updated carry on travel guide  i made a video and posted it to youtube and then i share the link... so that is what i am going to be doing now, Here  is the link to my school morning routine!! *let me know in the requests section of this blog if you would like me to do a weekend morning routine... hope you enjoyed my...

Intentionality pt.2!! Today I am going to do a more "dev thoughts" post talking about something I was reading recently... Today I am going to be talking about something I was reading about in the  Magnolia Journal  "in pursuit of wholeness" (the most recent issue) and it really stuck with me so without further ado lets get going... Today I will be talking about "kintsugi" (kint-soo-gee) which means "golden repair" or mending golden ceramics with gold, this art dates back to 15th-century Japan when artists and craftsman were looking for a more aesthetic way to mend broken ceramics," it involves using gold dust and resin or lacquer to mend the broken pieces.     Because all of our lives is neither broken or complete and there are spaces that need mending we can either attend immediately when we're in our busy, crazy lives and fill it with the immediate option, rubble, ash and stuff the will ultimately come back...
