Enjoying the gift of alone time.

2018 has been full of change for me, lots of self growth. I’ve enjoyed so many new things and with that I have found such a yearning to soak up everything around me. With two young children it’s hard for me to really find alone time to read. But as one of my goals was to refocus my energy and find the time to do more reading. I can honestly say since 2011 I had not finished ONE book! As of now, the month of June, I can proudly say I have finished a book a month. Some books take me only a few days, some take longer. I take the time I am given and embrace the quiet and alone time. πŸ–€πŸŒ»πŸŒŒπŸŒ±

I’m just trying to grow everyday. πŸŒ±

I’m taking small steps to grow and and one of my goals is to listen more. I feel when I am nervous I talk too much, or really any emotion honestly. I know when there is silence I feel the need to fill it. Like, its my obligation. I feel if I ask more questions it will allow someone else to fill that space.

On the other hand I get told I ask too many questions! (That one I don’t plan on changing πŸ˜‰ ) I suppose i’m still stubborn. But in my defense I did say SMALL steps. Hehe.

I hope you find this affirmation helpful today, this week, or however long you NEED to focus on this affirmation.

Much love Tay

Planet Earth

Mother Nature’s Earth

How fascinating mother nature is to me, its so calming and beautiful. EARTH has so much to offer us. This beautiful mixed media piece of art was inspired by our very own universe. I have chosen to create the planets starting with Mother Earth herself. Please take the time to examine each flower. Can you tell where the green and blue are sepperated? Where the dry land is?

I adore this project and can not wait to see what everyone else thinks!

**I have given two options for Mother Nature’s Earth, one comes with Earth facts and the other does not. **

When I was in 6th grade my teacher called me fluffy all year long. I honestly never knew what it ment or if she was being mean in some sort of way, imsecurity I suppose. As the year went on, I had no issues with her as a teacher or even a person I just never understood what reason I was considered Β FLUFFY type of person. A wonderful year passed, it was now time to recieve our awards and graduate to Junior High School. When she called out my name she announced my award. AND JUSTICE FOR ALL, that was my award. It still sticks with me. Still to this day. She recognized something within me that I never did, it was second nature to me. I ALWAYS made sure it was always fair, I stood up for the kid who was bullied, I spoke up to anyone and never stepped down. I was outspoken and opinionated but yet respectful and loving. I was FLUFFY. That moment sticks with me, it helps guide me and remind me to stay on that path of life.

So here we are 20 some odd years later focusing on that path. My path now would be described as self love. When you love yourself it will reflect and shine onto everyone else around you.

Ive never been the best at keeping flowers alive, but this year I have kept everything alive and really am enjoying the perks of having your own kale plant! I’m even wearing my #EatmoreKale shirt πŸ–€πŸ˜‰
