Uncovering Steps To Deliberate Living in 2015

Hello Everyone!

Hope your year is getting off to a great start.

I am excited to share a concept with you that I am using myself, along with setting Clear Intentions. It is called coming from a place of doing things in a “deliberate” state. In other words, everything you do, you do in steps, calmly, and with thought.

  1. Calm down
  2. Think before you take action
  3. Make a list, either on paper or in your mind
  4. Do things in order, one at a time
  5. Do things for a reason not randomly
  6. Stay focused so you don’t become scattered
  7. Be and stay organized
  8. Be deliberate in your actions
  9. Have clear intentions
  10. Be patient

For example, before you go out for the day, think about what do you need, take your time, get organized, put things in your bag, put things you don’t need away, i.e.

2015: The Year of “Clear Intentions”

Intention: Purpose and attitude toward the effect of ones thoughts and or behaviors to create a desired end result. A “mental’ and deliberate act or instance of determining action.

As you move forward into this New Year, I ask you to do so with intention. In other words, before you react or take action, think about your intentions for the end result. Think about what you want to accomplish that will result getting you what you want in life. Think about how you need to react with others to make your desires and intentions for your life this year your reality.

Ho Ho Holy crap… why do we think too much this time of the year??

Because it’s the holidays! So much to think about, so much to feel, so much to do, so much to question ourselves about!

Well I for one, am going to do it differently this year. Maybe it’s my age or the time in my life, but I am going to do things way more low key and lower all my expectations of everything and everyone. I want to enjoy the holidays and my life moments, everyday. After all,  I am so lucky to just be here to enjoy it.

Sounds selfish? Not really. Sounds sane.

At this age, the last thing I want to do is be someone’s mother who needs to be entertained, or frankly be entertaining.

I WAS PAINTED BY A FAMOUS PORTRAIT ARTIST THIS WEEK!

I was so honored and so excited to be painted last week by Johanna Spinks, a world-renowned portrait artist.

photo (40)It was part of a television shoot for French 2, a national television station in France.  I was amazed to see the results of the painting thinking I look a little more glamorous than I feel.  Lol. But it was my “first time” sitting for an artist and I found it difficult to sit still!

We laughed, we talked and she painted a beautiful portrait.  I saw so many of my emotions in the painting.  I feel she paints the soul of her subjects.

A Very Sad Good-Bye to an Amazing Dog

This past week, right in between the day of my husband’s death, June 7th, and Father’s Day, our family dog, actually David’s dog Roxy, died suddenly. They tell me it may have been a stroke or a heart attack. No one really knows. I had just walked her, thrown the ball for her, and loved her. I left the house for three hours and it was during this time that she passed. I was, and still am devastated.

As I mentioned she was David’s dog. She was a puppy when I brought her home and he was determined not to warm up to her.
