Yes I Changed My Templete...

I just felt the need for something different. I am one of those people who really likes change. It helps me have a fresh perspective on things. I decided on this templete because of all the green. After visiting west Texas this weekend, it reminded me of how much I love living in the midst of this wonderful greenery! I overheard a conversation on the plane of a lady saying she had grown up in a very dry, dusty location but always felt her soul was crying out for something different. When she was grown she moved to Florida and then she knew that what she needed all the time was to be surrounded by green! I can relate to that!

It's the Little Things That Make Me Happy!

Have you ever noticed how it only takes one little thing to change your perspective on the day for good or bad? I have found that if I surround myself with things that make me happy and appeal to my senses it will brighten my day. It can be something as simple as the scent of my hand soap, which, by the way, is the wonderful Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day in lavendar. To cover all my bases, I think through my normal daily routine and place things within my day that will affect me through sight, sound, touch, taste or smell. It's a little effort to make a big difference in my day!

Removing the Debris

How often do we let the baggage & clutter in our lives weigh us down? We need to release all those thoughts & ideas that hold us back and keep us from being who we really want to be.
"When we let go a little, we will be happy a little.
When we let go a lot, we will be happy a lot.
When we let go completely, we will be free."

Wild West Pictures

We had a great day taking pictures with my sister on Labor Day. She is working on a coffee table book for my parents that is all sepia toned pictures but she didn't have anything of Victoria that looked "western" (she is so NOT the cowgirl). They did pictures in the pasture and at the barn in Minden. Victoria even had a funny experience while sitting on the fence feeding one of the horses grass. The other two horses wanted to see what was up and ended up getting into a biting/kicking match over it. Needless to say, she came flying off the fence!
