52 Lists: Goals & Dreams

I did make a list see! Although you probably can't really read it. I had a weird week. It's late wednesday night and I haven't felt like looking back at this list. I made it the day Moorea Seal posted list 4. It's not that it's a bad list! This weeks has been strange, that's all. The positives... Yoga stretches before bed for the last 5 nights. Charging precious stones under the moon. Cooking and baking a ton!! Although, I think I tend to do that when I'm hurt. It was fun though! I made pancakes at 4 pm, chocolate donuts for breakfast, tortillas, a pot of beans, sweet potatoes, roasted carrots, rice. The last few days I've just been cooking! A LOT! Truth is, I have been hurt by a friend. I thought I was stronger. I didn't think I could be hurt like this and I am. It reminds me of this. 

We learn lessons and then we learn them again. In a different way. I had forgot!! Their is no goal. No obstacle to overcome. I am on a path. I walk it and sometimes I fall. I'm learning every step of the way. I smile as I exhale and take my next step. 

Today was a really fine day indeed! <3 Took a morning trip to a thrift store and found a vintage coat I can't wait to share, but will be holding off on that for a little bit. Stay tuned! I came home and sewed my little heart away!!! I made some leggings. They are adorable and I refashioned sweaters to make them. I love finding new uses for things. Repurposing gets me excited! I changed up a tank top with some lace and I repurposed a gray hooded jacket to make my soon to arrive godson, a Dino Hoodie! 

Getting my creativity out today was what I needed and it helped me tap into ME again. Looking forward to tomorrow, goodnight.

Comforts

It was so comforting to sit and think about all of the things that bring me comfort as I listed them. I am definitely feeling the impact of making these lists already! I know at the end of the year I will be glad to have them to look back on. Here is my list for week two of Moorea Seal's 52 Lists!

There were definitely a few that really excited me as I thought of them. Camping for sure. I just love that feeling of being outdoors when it starts to feel like you just live there! Cooking over a fire, using the bare essentials and you are totally surrounded by nature. I just love it! I love living in the beautiful California desert, my surroundings comfort me. The smells, the colors in the sky, the landscape... Knowing the people I buy my food from kinda surprised me as I wrote it. It makes so much sense though! Seeing the care and pride these people carry with them and their product. I appreciate this so much. I love the feeling of cooking and it wouldn't be the same if the food I was buying didn't come from the same source. Every day when I use my cutting board to chop fruits and vegetables I appreciate them and I think about where they came from. It makes me smile. When I break up walnuts to use in baking I think of my friend Marco who sells them at the Farmers Market who I can never see without talking to for less than five minutes. When I roll out dough for tortillas, I feel the love going in them and I thoughtfully smile because I no longer buy tortillas at the store. When I smell bread cooking I don't get impatient waiting. I take a deep breath and appreciate the process of making bread and love that I buy it at the store less and less these days. My kitchen, food, and the outdoors bring me a lot of comfort and I love that!
