A really beautiful centerpiece by Alisa Burke. I like how beautiful things are made from imagination and free sewing – compared to sticking to a pattern and religiously following directions..

I don’t really know what happened and why I neglected my little cute blog. What I know is that it has been too long since my last update/ blog post. I feel if I have some kind of a writing block which has been stopping me from keeping my blog alive..
Anyways, I have been very busy with my little projects these past months – I got many new Girls, I learned about fermentation, I started making my own sauerkraut (who could have thought that it is so easy!), I took couple raw cooking classes and I am approaching the end of my 4th month of green juicing. Exciting! : -)
I also finally got so wanted Nooka watch and a sewing machine – now I have to take some classes and create some neat sewing pieces (I don’t know yet if I end up sewing clothing or something more decorative).
Right, I almost forgot, I also did a yoga month challenge and oh how I loved it! Maybe because I am an Earth sign I really enjoy activities that ground me and it might sound silly, but there is something very rewarding and calming about sticking to a routine and committing to challenges.
Tell me something about your New Year and where you head is at!

Here we are again – another year for gift giving and receiving, new goal setting and saying “bye bye” to the old year..
I wish all of you to follow your aspirations and dreams next year, dream big and learn to be disattached from the process of how your dreams come true; be open, follow your hear and be nice to others.
While all of us are different we all have one thing in common – we love and want to be loved. Share your love and let beautiful things come to your life ~
Hugs

It came to my attention today that I haven’t posted anything since July… I blame it on Summer and the beautiful weather that kept me away from my little cute blog.
Well, as Fall is in the doorway and days are getting colder and darker I am finding my way back to my blog. I have to say that I am very excited to be back and re-connect with my loyal blog visitors as well as to get to know new ones.
Everyone is important and everyone counts. That said, I would like to know how you spent your summer and want to hear all the exciting stories! : ) Share them here or on my Facebook Page.
Hurry! I am waiting…

It is Friday again. Oh how fast days and weeks are flying by… Next week is the last week of June. 2 more months and “bye bye Miss Summer..” ☹
To be honest, the last few times I sat down to write a post I was editing more than writing.. Some sentences sounded too personal. Other sentences didn’t make sense in a broader sense. Some other ones were just random rambles about seamless things. Also, I know that people come and read my posts and I am not sure what they like and what they would like to find on my page. I would love to share something what is interesting rather than some boring blurbs on things that are least interesting for my readers. So, if you are reading this post please leave a note or write me a short note with your thoughts, interests, ideas or just let me know that you enjoy my thoughtful posts as well as little rambles on simple ordinary things.
I, personally, enjoy simple ordinary things more than anything because they create big important things. Love is so much sweeter with a cute text message, food is so much more delicious if it is made with love, a compliment might make you feel good for the rest of a day and a glass of water when you are really thirsty is so much more delicious than the most expensive champagne…
I challenge you to pay attention to little things. Notice, appreciate and help big things happen ~
Oh, and don’t forget to write me a thing or two ☺
Hugs ♥

I challenge you to take 1 Minute out of your day and enjoy one little thing that gets lost usually in the vastness of a regular day.. You might be surprised how many things/moments go unnoticed and even more so, how many of them are of a crucial importance to our well-being…
You are just one click away from one of them. Enjoy!

I want to share one of my observations with you. I hope that it will help you to be more loved, more confident, less afraid and less insecure.
I am sure you have met people who are very opinionated. There is nothing wrong with that. Opinions state our preferences, they let us understand what other people like and how they are. What I want to point at is negative opinions. A negative opinion sounds as a criticism and a person spends a reasonable amount of time drilling on it. It is never a sentence or two and it doesn’t sound nice. Usually such opinions are about other people’s talents (which we don’t have) or good things (that we try to put in a negative light because we don’t have them, but want to).
You might disagree with me but I believe that criticizing something or somebody doesn’t make you more likable or lovable. Criticism carries a hidden message about your own insecurities and fears. There is nothing wrong with wanting to be like another person or wanting to have something you don’t have. I find it more aspiring when people instead of criticizing admit that they would like to be like another person, have another person’s talent or have the item. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
It is more powerful to be honest with yourself and others. It makes you more lovable, likable and admirable. People might not say that loud but the truth is that criticism creates more insecurities and if we have a choice to spend time with a person who we know criticizes more than compliments and a person who is honest and not afraid to admit that she/he is not perfect, who do you think we are more attracted to as a person and want to spend time with? Who makes us feel better about ourselves and who can we trust more?
Nobody is perfect and everybody knows it. There will be always somebody better than you so get over it and start living your life with a smile in your heart. There will be always people who will criticize you in front of you and behind your back. You shouldn’t worry about that. Just remember, every criticism tells more about a person who is criticizing..
My advice is: find a chunk of compassion in your heart and carry it around. Whenever you face a criticism about yourself or something/body else, inhale deep and let compassion do its work. You might be surprised how much good it can do and how much more love you will grow in your heart shaped garden ~
