Yikes

Making a website is hard! One minute it’s all working fine and then suddenly bam! Nothing is! Wasn’t it just yesterday that it was looking so good? I’m feeling the learning curve. I heard a podcast that suggested I make it my mantra that everything I do is helping me move toward my ultimate goals.Continue reading “Yikes”

Me?

Do you see yourself as a leader? In a word , no. I do not see myself as a leader. I’m maybe a middle of the pack personality. I grew up in a world where leaders were what you were supposed to want to be. Even now Instagram ads are wanting me to sign upContinue reading “Me?”

Is Everything a Mirror?

I heard something said three differnt times in the last day and a half. This made me pause. I like when this happens. “We don’t see the world as it is, we see it as WE are.” They used to say ‘Where ever you go, you take yourself with you.’ Or, ‘You are the oneContinue reading “Is Everything a Mirror?”

Favorite?

What’s your favorite word? I’m the kind of person who changes out favorite things often. It’s partly why I don’t have a tattoo. I can never settle on one favorite ‘anything’ for life. I also have a tendency to become temporarily obsessed with things and they become my favorite ‘everything’ for a period of time.Continue reading “Favorite?”

Smiling,Still

I can easily get caught in a loop of dysregulation and forget to check in with myself to see what I need to regulate. Its common for me to forget that I have choices when things go awry. Another thing I sometimes forget, is that nothing outwardly needs to happen for me to regain regulation.Continue reading “Smiling,Still”

Trying Some Things

What are you doing this evening? Changing it up. Nothing crazy, just trying out some different yoga teachers and classes. Usually, I’m a morning/ daytime yoga girl. I’ve done evenings before, but for my routine, day works. I’ve decided to try everything this cute studio has to offer. So more “Blanket Yoga” this morning andContinue reading “Trying Some Things”

A Cute Space

I’m sitting here.

simple little space

I’m sitting here at my new work station, studio, attic space, creation headquarters. I already know there will be some frustration, some low moments, some circumstances that will cause me to have to remind myself that I can do hard things. I will learn and learning may well be uncomfortable at times. All of thisContinue reading “simple little space”

Wait, was that a Flag? Was it RED? Where?! Oh Man.

What personality trait in people raises a red flag with you? I have a history of missing red flags. I’m learning to be more discerning, at least, I hope I am. I definitely don’t like it when others are disrespectful or dishonest or become uncontrollably angry, and do steer around anyone exhibiting these behaviors. IContinue reading “Wait, was that a Flag? Was it RED? Where?! Oh Man.”

Future Andie

Describe your ideal week. I’ve been experimenting with the concept of a future self. I know we all have one, but thinking forward and considering who she might be, is a bit new to me. Asking myself, who would I like her to be? Would the choices I’m making today be choices I hope she’sContinue reading “Future Andie”
