there's honey bbq beef in the crockpot & a new whole wheat roll recipe rising on the counter.
i'm in my pjs & an apron w/ bedhead....i'll shower & put a little makeup on before i go to work.
my house is relatively messy, but i'm not stressing.
i decided to keep this scripture in my mind today.
i have some legit problems i'm worried about, but i have peace in my heart.
my toddler is making a creation with crayons & stick-on rhinestones.
there is a mix of happy tunes blasting.
i just belted this song while i was unloading the dishwasher.
back door is open, welcoming in arizona end-of-summer, wishing for fall.
i've spent my morning doing laundry & pinning.
i have a fun workout planned for before bedtime.
i feel like myself.
and i'm not going to let any negatives thoughts creep in,
to make me feel otherwise.
the class i am taking is seriously amazing.
dare i say, life-changing.
it's inspiring me to be nothing but my authentic self in heart & soul.
and i feel like it's slowly unleashing a creative, confident me.
it's teaching me strategies to fully embrace the life i want to live.
i have mostly loved the depth & the detailed curriculum that just
resonates [so much] with what i feel on a daily basis.
it's been hard work & a time commitment, but SO worth every second.
it has also been so amazing to get creative again, like, just for fun-style.
i used to mod podge & collage the world, back in high school.
i had a lot funkier style back then & wasn't so linear with my art.
it's been inspiring to just get messy with different mediums & embrace total imperfection.
i'm working on an art/life-journal right now that is going to be so special to me.
i couldn't be more excited.

“Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you can understand what He is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on; you knew that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised. But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and does not seem to make any sense. What on earth is He up to? The explanation is that He is building quite a different house from the one you thought of - throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards. You thought you were being made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it Himself.”
― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity {quote found here}
