The Author behind “Bonnie” It’s a Bonnie Thing

in Inspiration on 04/01/17

The Author behind “Bonnie”

I’ve always wanted to start a lifestyle and travel blog for the last three years. All talk and no action until today. It’s a Bonnie Thing website is now up.

“Who wants to read what I have to say?”

“What if I suck at writing?”

My journal was filled with all the things I would do if I weren’t afraid to fail.

Bonnie’s 2017 Journal

I had BIG dreams & crazy ideas

It felt inspiring!

The more I believed in myself, The more I pushed myself physically and mentally, the more I went out of my comfort zone, I  felt empowered. Those impossible dreams started to become a reality.

Crazy things I did

I started to work out and pushed myself to run! I hate running!

Jumped in the water with Lemon sharks bigger than me in Bora Bora

Sailed in the San Diego Bay during Santa Ana winds couldn’t wait to get off that small boat!

Built and designed a home with our architect and builder

Started a Blog

Things I learned

The more you push yourself, love yourself, embrace who you are, and believe in yourself…

MAGIC HAPPENS

” I can star as the Princess in my own Fairytale” I own the power to create my Fairytale life and write my happy ending!”

So what if my writing sucks? What if no one reads my blog? It’s ok. At last, I am doing something I have always dreamed of doing.

You can star as the Princess in your own Fairytale & you own the power to write your own happy ending.

I have a lot of content to write, much to learn, and mistakes to make. If I fail that is fine too, I will not have regrets. I’ve learned that failing can be a positive thing. It means I am going after everything I have always wanted in life.

 “People may say I can’t sing, but no one can say I didn’t sing.” 

Florence Foster Jenkins

Just like Florence, people may say my writing sucked but no one can say I didn’t write.

It feels good to pursue my crazy dreams and writing my own happily ever after. My purpose is to share the beauty in the world and put more positivity in the Universe. If I can make one person smile, wear a tiara, or inspire someone to see a new destination in the world, I have succeeded.

We weren’t born to perfect. We were each born with different passions and uniqueness. My husband calls me Abby Normal and I am not everyone’s cup of tea. I love to celebrate people for their individuality. In our imperfections lies the beauty of being human. It’s a beautiful thing when you embrace yourself, that is when the magic happens!

Focus on the beauty around you

Bonnie is a character that was created to be the girl I always wished to be. She is always positive, fun, and living life full of passion and to the fullest. Every moment counts in Bonnie’s life. She loves to dance, sing, travel the world, make people laugh, entertain, and dress in costumes and wigs. This blog is part biography with a theatrical flair. After all, I was a theater girl.

Life isn’t always easy. We learn to escape through nature, vacations, books, and movies. Art gives us a creative outlet and makes the world a better place to live. Who says you have to live in the real world? Create the real world you wish to live in.

When people ask you what you do for a living, say,  “I LIVE!” 

We only have one life to live. Make your life worth living! We all have hardship and negativity can drag us down. It’s when we focus on the positive and realize all the bad things were life lessons to be learned and make us stronger. We learn compassion and forgiveness in our hardships. Some things we thought were bad led us to a different direction or new path. Live a life without judging others and when you feel judged don’t take it personally.

Bonnie’s If I could do anything list….

 If I could do anything… I would Travel the World, Create an inspiring online boutique, write a book, plan parties and events all the time, wear costumes a lot, wear a tiara, sing, dance, design clothes, sail on a sailboat, read more books, buy older properties and glam them up, own a yacht or catamaran in a warm climate, learn a foreign language, build a dream home, live in Italy or France for a few months, start a blog

It’s time to start checking your dream items off your list!

 

At 45, I have half my life left to live. It’s time to do all those things I said I would do if I knew I would not fail. No regrets! I want to live like Bonnie. This is how It’s a Bonnie Thing was born. I want to be that girl! It’s a Bonnie Thing!!!

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!
