What If You Knew You Were Awesome?

/ jennced15 / 2 Comments

. . .and this is what I get for having time to think about things. You get me pondering questions about life and the general public. But let’s talk about this for a second. Do you know that you are awesome? If someone tells you how great you are, do you discount the compliment? Now let me ask; do you discount the compliment because you are being modest (you do in fact know how awesome you are) or because it can’t possibly be true (you know all your faults and shortcomings)?

It is absolutely critical that you know just how wonderful you really are. You are the only you in this world. You may try to fit in with everyone else. Act like everyone else. Change your opinions to be like the popular opinion and in every other way, fit in but . . . You are you and that is fundamentally amazing!

So here are 5 quotes to help you remember just that.

Closet Purge and Upgrade

/ jennced15 / Leave a comment

I am back at my annual purging and it feels great. When I purge my house, I get rid of 1/3 of everything. It helps me keep things in check by never crowding me out with clutter, staying aware of the things I have that I don’t use on a consistent basis (perhaps due to seasons), and re-asses my needs and wants.

When purging my clothes, I found that I have a ton of shirts but really no bottoms. So yes, I do need to do a little shopping but at least I have direction so I am not just buying more tops. I do love clothes and dressing up. Work is the number one place that I dress up for so I am usually looking for items that are conducive to the workplace.

Here are 5 workplace updates that I would like to see in my closet.

Acoustic Covers

So I took a Pilates class recently that played only acoustic covers of songs and I might have spent more time listening then focusing on my form. Promise to focus appropriately in the future but . . .here are 5 songs that I like the acoustic cover of.

Do you have an acoustic cover of a song you like? Share!

Whidbey Island Part 1

I just love exploring and it doesn’t matter to me if it is near or far from home. In fact, I love exploring close to home because my schedule doesn’t feel crowded with trying to see the things that I might not be able to see again. When I stick closer to home, I know I have the ability to come again and again so the little things that I stumble upon become more important and I “see” the area better.

Just recently I was in Washington for an extended weekend trip around New Year’s and I was able to do just that. I was able to concentrate my time on Whidbey Island (and do it without the crowds). So here are 5 things on the bigger scale to see and next month I will share 5 things on the smaller scale to see.

  1. Mukilteo
  2. Coupeville
  3. Langley
  4. Anacortes
  5. Washington State Ferries
