Must say this made my day

{ Nov 4 2011 }

This might have been the push I was waiting for..

And we're off!!

{ what is motivation }

I've been thinking a lot lately about motivation

What is motivation?

How do I achieve it?

(Let's say this time around)

Why do I ask? 

I'm in a slight rut & I need some

I know I can achieve it & I've done it the past but where do I begin this time around?

Does it come from a picture of something we want to aspire to be?

Is is fueled by a personal goal we have set for ourselves?

Is it just the action of doing what our mouth says and getting off the couch?

I KNOW what I need to do

what is required to meet my goal 

but I need that slight PUSH ..

Zosaphine are you really 5 months old?

My baby is growing to fast

5 months already

Eating cereal, rolling over, standing in an exersaucer? 

I'm kinda sad its going so fast

brutal : but gorgeous

Tuesday finally arrived and after much anticipation and anxiety I got one of my feet tattoo.. 

Going in for both but decided against doing both in one day

Prolonged the dreaded tattooing process a few more weeks 

but I at least know the intensity of pain I will be enduring for round 2

Still healing 

but

I'm proud of myself

I made it through a foot tattoo

killer but I made it ;)

& unless you've had an actual ''foot" tattoo 

you HAVE no idea the exact pain..

This is me......

Yep I am putting my foot down!

I am taking my personal needs and my baby's and doing what I NEED to do..

I dont need someone deciding that they need to push their agenda or decisions on this matter

Its my DECISION and I need to do what's overall best for me .. THAT'S RIGHT for ME..... 

I have struggled for the last month on this matter.

I have gone back and forth on what I should do 

even questioned myself on if I will regret the decision because once its chosen 

IT FINAL 

NO GOING BACK

I fully tried my best and thought from the beginning it would be easy but 

it turns out it's not so much so....

I AM PUTTING MY FOOT DOWN

This is mine and mine alone decision

PLEASE KEEP YOUR OPINIONS TO YOURSELF

I am done ranting...Thanks!

trying my hand at ....

Trying my hand at being creative again!! 

I have a few projects and ideas in mind that I'm going to experiment.. 

So before saying what they are I need to see if they even turn out half like what I imagine them to be in my mind..

I am pretty excited to start working just need a few purchases and supplies... 

and then off with my creativity ;)

and........

this is the finished result... 

I'm so happy with turnout 

so here are some shots!

Creativity with Feathers

And this is how its going so far... 

Way better than I imagine it to be

AND........

I'm stoked it looks great and I love it ...
