I'm back from a bit of a hiatus from my blog. I've had a number of things barking at me these last couple of weeks and I've devoted myself to being a little more careful about what I choose to spend my time doing. I actually was sitting in on a seminar a few weeks ago that asked us to rate the top 5 things in our lives (things we like to do, wanted to spend more of our time on, etc.). We were then asked to take that list and compare it to what we ACTUALLY do with our day. This simple task is an eye opener. I found myself acknowledging that I didn't want to spend my life living the way I was now (so busy and stressed out) and not doing the things that I LOVE. Life's too short right? My number one thing I wanted to do more of was spend a little more quality time with my little family—especially my girls. They've always been my number one priority, but I decided to MAKE sure that if I am doing something other than being with them, that it is completely worth it (that's one way to justify not getting around to the laundry, heehee). Other top things for me? Designing, of course. I am COMPLETELY passionate about it. Surprisingly enough, cooking came up high on my list too. I completely forget how much I enjoy cooking as I spend more nights quickly try to get dinner together at night without a thought to how fun the process is. So you may see a bit more cooking on this site as I flex my creative muscles and make myself spend more time on things I love doing!
What are your top 5 things? What do you care about the most? I really believe that we have the ability to DESIGN our lives...which is a task in and of itself. How would you design your life if you could? I have some ideas about how I am changing my life to be a little less busy and more dynamic and engaging! I am always seeking after beauty in my life and that is one of the things I hope to bring to anyone who reads this blog. I hope that creativity is an integral part of your life too.
Which brings me to what I originally planned on posting about today: Easter inspiration. This is such a wonderful holiday—for decorations, family, and reflection. Hopefully, you get a chance this week to think about your life and what you need and don't need in it! And while you are pondering these very big questions, lol, here is some eye candy to make you happy and feel inspired for this holiday!
