Blocks of Me Time



Chaos and interruptions, a typical day for many of us. This picture says it well, as I was going to capture myself with my journal looking down, but the second the shutter opened, one of my kittens decided to jump onto my clothing rack, up goes my head which caused the photo to blur.

Getting down to the topic at hand though, I wanted to discuss scheduling me time, whatever those joyous, relaxing, learning or mindless activities that we want to fit into a day, but most the time put off to the last minute or leave no time for at all.

Over the past few years, I would hope that there would be some time left in any given day to get to, for example, studying my French, journaling on a daily basis, meditating consistently, etc, etc. But most of the time, days turn into nights, into weeks, and so forth causing frustration, and questioning why I cannot seem to accomplish a few simple blocks of time for myself each day, light bulb! Blocking out time. Just as I would schedule a phone meeting with my clients.

It's so important to have that balance as they say, but that balance can mean different things for each of us. Regardless, I hope that you can find that as best as you can, even if interruptions happen, schedule in that me time, just as a with a shower, dinner, family time, going out with friends, and so forth. Make time for those passions, those little things. I'm not perfect with it, but have noticed such an improvement in my well being overall when I make it happen.

♫ #Music Monday Playlist


Jamie Nelson



Starting this week finally recovering from a sinus cold that held me down most of all last week, not sure what is worse, the actual being sick, or the forced down time that I'm not really good at, I love to keep busy, it's just how I'm wired. But when the body needs rest, you must listen.
The good news is finding some new music which is featured here and getting caught up on a big ol pile of magazines that have been yelling at me from around the house.

Happy Monday my friends xo

Postcards From Paris









Getting back outside with exercise and just soaking in the sun throughout the day w/ SPF of course has a new happiness that does not exist in the Winter, feeling it now! Also realizing it's time to stock up on some new warm weather staples. This summer I am going to keep it simple besides a few have to have pieces, as travel is on my mind, especially editing and going through the archives. It has been forever it seems, but other obligations were front and center. I think it's so important, even if stepping out for a short weekend getaway, even a stay-cation will do to stay refreshed and inspired. I work from home, so it's very important for me to step away when I can or seasons will start to overlap and I will wear myself out. So on that note, time to dream up a few ideas for the upcoming months, (in the afternoon sun ) ;)

Enjoying a slow Sunday finally editing some photos from my Paris archives. A few will make it into the shop while others will be for a personal book I am making of all the cities I feel so blessed to have been to ( and cannot wait to get back )!!!
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I am now off to paint for a few hours.

The Poetry of Material Things



OH January! I could write a very long book, I will leave it at that. Grateful that February is around the corner and Spring so much closer.

This month has flown by quicker then ever leaving me running in circles with last minute deadlines, orders and the usual for me, last minute shopping for gifts, but being swamped this month is a good thing and I again want to thank all of you for another wonderful Christmas season. I am looking forward to 2017 and what the new year will bring. I also have a few projects and a lot of in-progress work that will finally reveal itself, cannot wait!

Enjoy your Monday xo
