A Friday Note to Yourself…..

in Inspiration, Lifestyle & Beauty on 08/17/18

A Friday note to yourself…….

I had a conversation last night with friends about how we limit ourselves, how self-doubt can keep us from pursuing the things we want, and how we need to change our thoughts in order to create the lives we wish to live.

Like Wayne Dyer wrote, “Change your thoughts, Change Your life.” 

If you feel stuck, this is a fabulous book by the way. I am reminded that most of us have these same feelings but yet we all have the power within to live the life we’ve always wanted. The Universe presents opportunities and sometimes I find I make excuses not to pursue them. Does this happen to you? I find I am my own worst sabotager often times running away instead of running towards things I want or making excuses like I’m not ready yet or stalling thinking there is always more time.

All my life my self-esteem seems to be tied to a number.

  1. The number on the scale.
  2. The number of my annual income.
  3. The number of Instagram Followers.
  4. The number in my bank account.
  5. The number on the calendar, the clock, Time…… it keeps ticking but how much time do I have! The minutes turn into days, then years, and have I accomplished all those things I’ve always wanted to do. The time will eventually run out. So why am I procrastinating always thinking I will have more.

This is probably why I hate Math. I really hate numbers! So I say, F the numbers! They don’t matter.

Life is about so much more than what you weigh, how much money you have, or how many followers you have. Don’t tie your self-worth to any number.

Like why am I driving myself crazy over these numbers! Seriously! Life is short, so I say this weeekend, this week, this year!

Drink the Champagne!

Eat the French Fries!

Take the Vacation!

Go try something new!

Buy a new outfit that makes you feel amazing!

Wear a Tiara if you want too.

Plan a night with your best friends and go out on the town.

Spend time with friends face to face instead of spending time with friends on social media.

Get lost in nature and enjoy the view!

This weekend live your life the way you’ve always wanted! Take a few minutes and journal about the person you’ve always wanted to be. How do they feel? What do they do? What are their passions? Be that person you always wished to be. Change your habits and thoughts to become who you want to be. I journaled “The Girl of my Dreams” and I am working on her although she’s been there all along right inside me.

Dream, Manifest, Achieve, & Believe……

I like to wear dresses and sparkles. Feeling good outside makes you feel good on the inside. So if I sparkle on the outside I hope I sparkle on the inside 🙂

Cheers,

Bonnie

We’ve all got that one thing on our bucket list th We’ve all got that one thing on our bucket list that just sits there, waiting for the “right time.” 🚲✨
For me, it was taking my beach cruiser out for a spin on the Anacortes Guemes Channel Trail. It had been sitting in the garage for a year and a half—literally since we moved into this house! It actually took a moving truck parked in the driveway to finally motivate me to get out there.
And wow... why on earth did I wait so long?! 🎶🌊
A smooth, paved path right along the water, tunes pumping from my JBL speaker in the basket, and that crisp ocean breeze—it felt like my own mini beach-cruising paradise right here in the PNW.
Consider this your sign: pull out that list this week and check off something fun you’ve been putting off. Life moves fast and time’s a-wastin’!
What’s one fun thing sitting on your list right now? Drop it in the comments below! 👇👇
Do you believe it’s October? It’s Fall y’all so to Do you believe it’s October? It’s Fall y’all so today I’m sharing some recent pumpkin 🎃 photos I took at Schuh Farms. This farm has in season fresh produce and yummy homemade pies. Have you tried their Brambleberry pie?
As I try to hold on onto long summer seventy degre As I try to hold on onto long summer seventy degree days the weather is not cooperating. There is a chill in the air and I need a coat and my Instagram feed is full of 🎃 Do you love when Fall sets in or are you still wanting to chase summer vibes? 

The farms in Mt Vernon are full of pumpkins these days. So tell me- do you have your doorway decorated with pumpkins already?

Sunsets are the most magical time of the day. There is a something more special about being on the water to enjoy them. This week we are moving out of our Anacortes, WA home and the sooner we get packed up and moved out the sooner we get to take one last boat trip of the year. We are looking forward to creating a life lived with more experiences and embarking on a new journey of endless road trips and boat trips. There is a big beautiful world 🌎 out there to explore. As we grow into midlife age our time seems to become more and more limited. There is so much to see and do! Friends older than us say do it now because in your 80s and 90s things change. The things you do in your 50s aren’t going to be the same when you reach 80. We hope to stay young forever! 

If you are in your 50’s what are your big goals and dreams you wish for?

Do you ever have daydreams of sailing off into the Do you ever have daydreams of sailing off into the sunset? 
Is it just me, or does a 5-minute Instagram scroll on a Monday make buying a Sprinter van or moving onto a boat sound completely reasonable? 🚐⛵️
Currently packing and genuinely wondering: How did we accumulate this much stuff?!
It really makes you pause and think… what are we actually chasing, and how much do we really need to be happy? Less clutter, more living sounds pretty amazing right about now.
Anyone else ever feel the urge to sell it all and simplify? Drop a 🙋‍♀️ if you’ve had this exact thought today!
