Live Your Bliss!

I saw a blog yesterday that changed my life.  It's all about a woman name Tonita, and her lovely, tiny cottage.  http://shabbychictinyretreat.blogspot.com/

It really is a cottage, and, it’s breathtaking.  She has created an amazingly lovely world in her backyard.  If I compare it to my backyard, mine looks like…well, I have no words for how lame my backyard looks!  My little papillon, Lola, has the run of the backyard, and; that is a story best left untold. 

However, I love how Tonita has the courage to live her bliss, and, create a space she’s dreamed of since she was a little girl.  Personally, I don’t want a separate little house.  I want to find out how to incorporate my dream space into my living space.  I am not a decorator, so this is going to be challenging.  

I was, however, able to find someone to help me organize my home.  I am so excited to work with her to straighten out a part of my life that is seriously in trouble.  What I’m learning, is that it’s okay to be me, embracing my strengths and my faults.  The trick is finding out who you are, being okay with that, yet; continuously striving to be your best self.  It’s really a balancing act, and since I’m more of an all-or-nothing kind of person; finding balance feels a little weird. 

However, I’ve got tons of pictures in my Pinterest, that can provide some inspiration.  I'm working to break out of the “functional” mode, and moving into creating beauty around me and my family.  Perhaps, this can be like creating art, except that my home will be the canvas.  I have no idea, but, the first thing is to organize and purge the crap that I’ve accumulated over the years.   Then we’ll move to aesthetics in  phase two of my master plan!
