Oh what a lovely summer I had – absorbed some sun at my in-laws’ pool in Nevada, traveled with my hubby to my home country, Lithuania, had plenty of sunny weekends with lots of outdoors, got to wear (and buy new) summer dresses and open toe shoes..
I wil miss you Summer..!

A Little Bit About Assumptions and Judgements
16 Mar 2012 1 Comment

These past weeks I have been questioning the concept of “don’t judge a book by its cover.” The way I understand it is that I (and anybody else) shouldn’t be fast jumping to assumptions and giving in to first impressions. That makes a total sense and I couldn’t agree more.
My problem with not trusting first impressions is that often times by not trusting our intuition we end up at a not so pleasant place where the world is upside down and there is nothing more stable than going back to the very first feeling/impression about a person (or anything else for that matter). I have been very generous lately in all of my friendships/relationships and justified my friends’ actions that are not acceptable in my own world. What I start realizing is that while it is a really good excersise to be generous and accepting it is also very important to trust your gut instinct/intuition. If you jump to negative assumptions then you should definitely look at yourself and make sure you are not projecting anything. If you jump to positive assuptions and generously look over things then keep the things you looked over in a corner of your eye and see what the next impression of a person will be. Sometimes it is hard because the more generous you are the more you have to learn to overlook things and just let them go – without judgement or any attachment of being right/wrong, good or bad.
Challenge yourself in the next 5 days to see good things about people and compliment them. I am not saying that you should ignore parts that bother your or clash with your worldview. Acknowledge those parts of another person and move on onto something more exciting ~
Let me know how it goes!
Don’t waste time on negative and if something really bothers you – just say it. The worst it will do is it will bring one ending and another beginning…

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!
Merry Christmas and Lovely New Year!

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

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!
Loud Opinions

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 ~
