30 Day WHAT I LIKE ABOUT BOYS Challenge: Post #3

{Post 104/365: Original Post: (3/30) Burgers, Boys & BEER}

There is nothing I like more in this world than a SMART boy who challenges me and makes me think!

The best way to get to me is to have a good sharp, mind and to USE it!

I love to have an intelligent, witty conversation with a boy partly because he has a different perspective than my own and partly because it reminds me that I am also intelligent and capable of having spirited discussions also!

What I love and appreciate even more is having that conversation and recognizing the MOMENT when that boy realizes that I AM just as smart as he is and fully capable of matching wits with him! LOL

It is quite fun, especially if you know you are talking to a boy who thinks that women are stupid. (Sadly, there are many of those.)

I also appreciate boys minds because the are often much more practical and logical than me so it gives me a perspective I might not have by myself since I am an emotion, feeling driven individual.

I enjoy SMART boys very much!

I like SWEET boys.  Sometimes they can really melt your heart with their sweetness.

There are hundreds of things they can do to be sweet and any of them can make your day.

Every time they are willing to share something with you or bring you a present for no reason or just to let you know they are thinking of you.

Every time they send you a text to let you know they miss you.

If you are sick and miserable and they make you a cup of tea or cook you some soup and bring it to you in bed.

Every time they remind you to take your meds, eat something (when you are a diabetic) or make sure you have a cup of tea handy.

Every time they know your heart hurts for whatever reason and they do something just to make you smile.

Every time they tell you that you look beautiful even though you KNOW you look tired and OLD!

They are being sweet and thoughtful.

Thank you to all my BOYS for filling my life with your sweetness! xo

Boys are FUN!
Sometimes they do crazy, insane things but usually it's just because they are having and creating their own little bits of FUN in life! I appreciate their energy and laughter and mischievous spirit!

Once when we had a Tues/Fri my boys got a hold of  my son's snowboard and each took turns sliding down the hill in our front yard. It's a small, short hill, they were all drinking together and hanging out during their time off work and they were having a total blast being completely drunk and silly! lol
What's not to love about a bunch of boys having fun together? It is awesome to be a part of it! :)

Sparkle Goddess

I feel the need to curl up in a ball and ignore the world.
I'm tired and irrational and there's really no reason for it.
I made sparkle goddesses today and they made me feel good.
I wish it were that easy to find joy and happiness every day.
But, sometimes I struggle.

Hoping tomorrow will be a better day.

(woooohoooooo I have posted my 100th post!!!! 265 to go!! :D yay!!)

I have spent the day playing in PSP and making beautiful little feel good graphic goddesses. I hope they will bring someone else as much joy as they have brought me! I have made many and hope to put them in a Facebook app for people to send to their friends.  If you like them feel free to save and use however you like.
I’m just sharing my love and heart and joy!

SoulCollage: Queen

{Post 99/365: Original Post: FEEL ME}

This is my very first card in SoulCollage.
I find the idea and process very interesting.

You can read, learn and begin your own SoulCollage process HERE:

KaleidoSoul

For quick understanding SoulCollage is the process of honouring 

your inner voices and life guides by making SoulCollage cards for each of them.  

Throughout the process you learn a deeper understanding of who you are.

I appreciate the depth of this soul searching and I hope to learn many things for and about myself!

With each card you do a "I AM the One Who"... exercise to ear and recognize the voice and it's lessons for your life.

One of the "I AM the One Who" exercise's quotes:

I am the one who is powerful.

Hmmmmmmmmm....I am trying everyday to DO something...anything...instead of sitting and obsessing about all the things I NEED or I don't have or I want because it will make doing easier.
They are all excuses. Simply decide what you want to do and DO it!
Find the silver lining, think positively instead of negatively, if you only have half the stuff you need to make something...make the half you can and do the rest later, if you don't have all the ingredients for a recipe...try another one or better yet, throw caution to the wind and invent a new dish! What's the worst that can happen? It tastes gross?? At least you tried! Maybe, you even found out that you have a talent you weren't aware of! If you didn't go to school and get an education and you want to learn something...READ everything you can on the subject from any source you can find and teach YOURSELF!
You are everything you need to be fantastic, fabulous, awesome, intelligent, capable, independent, useful and any other power word you can use!
All you need to do is believe in YOU!!
