Embrace the Rain


    Living on the West (wet) Coast, we get rain.  And a lot of it.  At least it seems that way through the winter months.  I know for a lot of people it can be depressing.  But I've learned to enjoy the rain.  I love sound of it at night.  During the day, when it's grey and gloomy outside, means a day inside to enjoy reading, crafting or baking.  This time of year also means woodstove fires.  There is nothing better to get rid of the damp coldness that can creep into your bones then a hot dry fire!  We're lucky where we live that we hardly get any snow, but the rain can make everything seem just as cold as snow would.

    So next time it rains, get outside for a minute.  Let the raindrops hit your face.  Rain is good for the earth and good for your soul!  Then get back in the house, start up a warm fire, bake some yummy cookies and read a book snuggled under a blanket.

Do you love or hate the rain? Comment below!

Happy New Year!!

January 1st, 2015. 
Day 1 of a new year, a fresh start. What will this year hold for me? 

 I decided not to make resolutions this year.  I've  always made them but never stuck with them and always ended up feeling like a failure by February.  I'm sure I'm not alone on that. 

 I decided to chose a few words and phrases for the year.   Some things to live by and inspire me for 2015. 

Here they are in no particular order:

    1. Love myself - something I have to work on every day. I have struggled with this since junior highschool, so much as it almost cost me my life. I need to take time for myself and be comfortable in my skin. This is something I must work on for me but more importantly for my two young daughters. I must lead by example and be a good role model. 

    2. Pay it forward - I am very blessed and love to give back. I want to show my daughters how it feels even better to give then to receive. 

    3. Follow my passions - Follow through and try the things I haven't done yet but have always wanted to!

    4. Enjoy - Stop to 'smell the roses' more and enjoy the little things. Life is short, enjoy the ride. 


Are you making resolutions this year? If yes, what are they?
