Weekend, Meet Go-Getter || 3.28.15

/

 || Hello, Weekend. What's your hurry? ||

The best thing to do in the world is sleep in until the sun on your cheeks awakens you -- and then not to get swept up with anything trying to hold you back and make you crazy. Less than one week from now, I'll be snuggling with puppies, eating candy, and hugging my mom. But until then, I'm all I've got, so I'm going to stay optimistic, hopeful, encouraged, and ready for anything.

I'll be watching the latest season of Suits, catching up on a lot of work, and breaking this self-imposed barrier I've got in my mind. Also, thinking of yummy things to share with you. What about you?

What are you up to this weekend? How's your team doing?

|| Monday Funday Can't Wait Till Sunday ||

Welp. Already a quiz and an exam down, two more huge assignments to go, and then the week will calm itself considerably. I'm dreaming too large right now -- having trouble keeping my feet firmly planted in the ground, ya know? So much to take in and absorb yet not enough of a sponge to hold onto it all tightly. Hoping it'll all stick eventually. This week is the week of catching up, success, tranquility, and coexistence with my mind and soul. YESSSSSS.

I'm starting a cleanse this week; a purge of negative thoughts, an invitation for fueling recipes, and a call for this panicked heart break feeling to leave. If you're interested in finding your true self with acceptance, eating to feel like a million bucks every day, and ridding yourself of the confusion around fad diets, consider working with me. It all starts with a f r e e consultation. Woohoo! I'm so grateful for this life I live.

Hope the rest of your Monday is amazing. Keep dreaming and stay rested. ; ). xx.

How was your weekend? Anything exciting happen? What are you looking forward to this week? What are you grateful for?

 || Spring Fever ... You're here, but where's the Spring? ||

I'm ready for this to be over. I'm ready to feel empowered again and in charge and ready to break barriers and soar to new heights. I'm ready to feel like the world is at my fingertips again. Maybe it's just the week -- too much drama, not enough balance. Maybe it's just my attitude -- eh. Maybe it's feeling like there are a million things on my to-do list, and I'm too overwhelmed to do them -- cue the shutdown. No matter what it is, I've watched all the shows I can, I've procrastinated enough, and even though the sun hasn't come out in days (metaphorically & literally), it's time I put my big girl panties on and face my life head on. So who's ready to get down to business? Anyone? Everyone? Thought so ;-). Maybe I'll have some coffee first, though. Here's some links to hold you over ---

Speaking of shows what's in your Netflix queue?
