EXCUSES

Excuses are not only completely disempowering, often false and even infuriating- they are the greatest preventer of growth, success and fulfillment.

At the end of our life, we will have results and experiences or excuses. The latter does not mean anything to anyone. Not one of us. And we secretly know it. It doesn’t matter how justified you think your excuse is. And if you take a second to research any excuses that you use in your life, I promise you that you’ll find people who’ve succeeded with the same perceived impediments. 100% of the time.

Over time, our excused compound and we realize our life is totally unsatisfying. Because what’s holding you back is less important, and real, than the thing that we really, really want. The sooner we ditch our excuses the sooner we take a step on the path that’s waiting for us. It’s always there and it’s very patient. We just have to kick the block to the curb and walk forward.

BEAUTIFUL CREATIVE CHAOS

 I have a picture in my sewing room, that hangs above my day bed. It’s a large framed picture; 3 feet by four. The photo was taken of a cafe. The cafe is in Ile St. Louis, Paris. I love the black Lacquered French doors with their lace curtains. I love the Baguettes in the basket and the fresh flowers on the waiting bicycle. It’s simple and lovely. It goes perfectly with my Paper White pillows and the vintage lace on my windows. I love this room, it’s the perfect blend of beauty and creative chaos. It is my sanctuary. It delights me!

WIND UP

There was a man in my office today, taking a trip to Florida. We got him the things he requested to help with his drive to the Sunshine State. We let him know that he can also rout his own directions on our website, using his smart phone. He laughed and said that his phone doesn't do that, his phone is still the "Wind Up" model! He had us all laughing.

WHAT IS YOUR IKIGAI?

 


Your “reason for being” gives you a “reason to live.”

 

Ikigai is what, day after day and year after year, 

each of us most essentially lives for.

 

The 10 Rules of Ikigai

1.     Stay active; don’t retire.

2.     Take it slow.

3.     Don’t fill your stomach.

4.     Surround yourself with good friends.

5.     Get in shape for your next birthday.

6.     Smile.

7.     Reconnect with nature.

8.     Give thanks.

9.     Live in the moment.

10.   Follow your ikigai.

 


 I love studying natural healing, purposeful living, organic and ancient gardening, human behavior and ancient wisdom. The same truths come up over and over again, told in new and different ways. I believe there is so much to glean from our past, both ancient and recent past. Learning how it all fits into your life is such a wonderful adventure. 

And I always love an adventure!
