The Star Fairy

The Moon is in Virgo, today, along with Mars, so I’m choosing the get it done theme!  Virgo is an earth sign that appreciates the beauty of efficiency and order, and loves to have a place for everything and everything in its place.  So today I’m applying that to myself, and assuming that I am exactly where I need to be. :-)   And I aspire to apply it to getting the things I need to do done… hopefully even making progress in my son’s messy room! (Wouldn’t that be nice?)

What are you getting done today?  Remember to count the routine things, and to include some fun things, too!

MEM:

Sunshine!

A dear friend joining us for a long dog walk.

Making plans to go out to lunch with her next week, while ds will play at a friend’s house.  (Yay!  Uninterrupted adult conversation!)

Hearing that the country club in our old town has been purchased by the town and will remain open space!

Our frolicsome puppy!  He’s 1.5 years, and I think he’s full grown, but he is such a playful, bouncy puppy!

My son’s excitement over his new Legos

Homemade granola with added hemp seeds and yogurt for brunch – yum!

Hubby doing dishes!

The next few hours open for me to get stuff done!

Please share the wonderful magic you are finding in your life today!  And know that you are spreading joy and lifting our spirits when you do!  Thank you!

The Inspiration Fairies

This week has been productive for us Inspiration Fairies!  We realized that we had a lot on our “to do” list, but were spending tons of time just thinking about having to do them.  So this week we decided to see what we could accomplish!  Several of the tasks took less time to do them than they we would have spent just thinking about doing them.  Silly us!  It opened up our mental space for more productive and enjoyable thoughts.

We have several practices that help us get a lot done in a short amount of time.  First, we do things in little spurts.  If we have 5 minutes, we do something we can get done in that amount of time  (for those of you who watch TV, you could see what you can get done during each commercial).  We also have a ”long-term projects” list, which usually consists of mending, fixing, deep cleaning, etc.  When we have some spare time we look at our list and don’t have to waste time trying to come up with something to get done.

 

In honor of “get it done” magic, we are grateful for these accomplishments this week:

*Staining the wood for the dining table we are building

*Painting mushroom bowling sets

*Working on our NEW blog (coming soon!)

*Collecting emails and addresses for wedding invites

*Returning library books

*Fixing several broken items

*Taking the kids to the dentist and doctor

*Organizing wool sweaters for the coat I’m making for the wedding and locating a serger to sew it

*Filling out and turning in a ton of paperwork

*Scheduling playdates for the kids

*Helping the kids with some projects they’re excited about

*Starting an energy exchange with friends

*Taking care of ourselves by going to sleep early (which is sometimes a hard task!)

What have you accomplished this week?  Do you have any tips that help you get things done?  Have a productive and enjoyable week!  

 

Recapturing the Magic! January 26, 2012

Mardi Gras!

Hey y’all! Your Flirty Fairy has been SOOOOO super busy with my new twinnies that I have not been sharing my EM, and I miss it SO much! It’s amazing how wonderful it makes me feel. So when the Star Fairy asked me to post today, I jumped at the chance! Plus, it’s my Half Birthday :)

It’s so important, even when you’ve gotten away from a daily practice, to get back to it. Even if that just means jumping back in once in a while. I know what stops me sometimes is saying, well, if I only do it once that’s no good, so I might as well not do it at all – NOT true! A step forward is a step forward, even if it’s just a baby step. So here’s my BIG step (or flutter, for those of you wearing your wings).

My Everyday Magic:

  • My kitties waking me up by sitting on my chest and purring – have I mentioned I love them??
  • My sweetie, who made me DELICIOUS tacos for dinner the other night. OMG you guys, I think if I had unlimited tacos I’d eat them til I died.
  • My twinnie girls! They are SO sweet. And their parents are awesome!
  • ABUNDANCE!
  • Decluttering! We organized our 2nd bedroom (aka crap storage room) the other night and it was surprisingly quick and easy!
  • Looking forward to a relaxing weekend
  • The beautiful weather we’ve been having! After last winter, we deserve a mild one :)

I’m hosting a GIVEAWAY on my blog today!!! Head on over to find out how to win a Boba 3G Baby Carrier – perfect for infants AND toddlers. It’s still in the sneak preview stages, so if you enter before I make the official announcement you get DOUBLE entries – yay!

Happy Thursday everyone!!

My Wednesday Magic!

 I’ve experienced some wonderful Connection magic that was inspired mostly after an Emo-fit (complete with a good cry) that reminded me to Be Present and Create/LIVE the life that I want.

* re-connecting & making plans with friends I’ve neglected
* connecting with myself by saying Yes To ME! (“This is what I’m doing….You can Join me if you like.)
* the strength to say YES! it has been fun :)
* re-connecting with my goals – I can’t pretend compliments don’t help ;)
* SUPPORT – and it comes from unexpected places. Well, unexpected b/c I compare to previous experience.
The change of pace reminds me I’M IN A GOOD PLACE (& is such a lovely surprise). Love It & Do Your Best to KEEP It <3

How are you connecting? To yourself and your world!? Share your magic!

Happy Thursday, Magical Folk!

I chose Get it Done Magic for today because Mars, planet of action, moved into the sign of Virgo just last weekend.  Virgo is aware of the details and it appreciates order and things running smoothly as well as health and cleanliness.  And frankly, my house is a disorganized mess!  So today my intention is to get lots of cleaning done, and maybe even some organizing!  It’s work, and some of it is a PITA, but the feeling of having it done… pure magic!  I’m appreciating the fact that because of its retrograde, Mars will be in Virgo until early next July… I hope it doesn’t take me that long to get organized, but it feels good knowing I have celestial support if it does. :-)

MEM:

Birds!  I love watching and listening to them too!

Hot lemon water, which I love drinking in the morning!

Our sweet kitties who snuggle next to me at night.  And the littler one (the one in the picture) is even getting almost friendly with our dog!

I already sorted the laundry and put in the first load!

My son’s gap-toothed smile

Feeling optimistic!

What lovely details are you noticing today?  Well organized or not, please post your magic for today and give us all a boost!

 

Git ‘Er Done! Magic February 21, 2011

Two fairies in the kitchen!

I have had so much to do lately, and have really been struggling with motivating myself to get things done! So I started doing something called Time Blocking: I spend a certain amount of time (usually a half hour to an hour) on something I NEED to do, then I reward myself with a block of “me time”. So yesterday I spent 45 minutes working on my business website, and now I’m going to spend 45 minutes knitting and watching Glee on Hulu. Then, another 45 minutes of work! It really makes things so much more manageable when it’s broken down, it cuts down on procrastinating, I am much more productive, and I don’t feel guilty for taking time for things I really enjoy! It really helps me FLIRT with all my myriad interests!

Time Blocks for today:

~Plan Yoga class I’m teaching tonight – I really want to incorporate some new stuff!

~Work on Postpartum Resource List

~Skype with my BFF in England!

~More knitting and Grey’s Anatomy!

What are your Time Blocks for today?

P.S. What do you think of my new hair??

My Everyday Magic:

~Seeing my whole family yesterday and introducing my Sweetie to them

~The DELICIOUS chocolate cupcakes I made Saturday with a little Fairy friend…

~A great night at work with some sweet babies

~That gorgeous weather we had on Friday… I think spring is flirting with us!!

~My girl learning new words every day- Friday it was “disgusting”, or ” ‘stucksting!” as she said it.

~Getting my business website up!! Check it out!

~Reading everyone’s wonderful magical posts!!

What’s YOUR magic this weekend? I can’t wait to hear!

Gettin’ it Done!!

So I’m in that pre-holiday transition…finishing up school but getting ready for a fresh new year. And with fresh newness on the horizon, I like to spend this time CLEARING OUT!

Out with the stuff that I’ve been needlessly hanging onto for whatever reason. Out with the stuff I’ve been lazy to go through all year. Out with DUST! Out with any mold that’s been creeping into my home from the past rainy season.

What creative or cleaning projects are you working on or planning to work on? Let us enlist the help of the powers that be, to move with godspeed and universal energy to create the energy in our homes that we desire to live with!

For me this means…

*Every weekend I tackle one project…like the closet, or the giant stack of books/papers on my desk…

*Enlisting my super helpful boys. They love to scrub, so they are in charge of the floors and the walls…and their favorite (and my least favorite), the bathroom (well I do the toilet, but they have a blast scrubbing the bathtub, walls and floor while getting themselves clean too!)

*Spending time in nature, as it replenishes my soul and reminds me of the kind of energy I want to create in my home

*Indulging my senses!!! Candles, essential oils, flowers…mmmm!!

*Adding another collapsible closet organizer so we aren’t just stuffing our clothes wherever they fit and then we can’t find them when we want them

*Really get going on my Plant/Human Communication research paper. I’m so excited about it and have tons of resources, just need to get WRITING!

*Promote the Christmas fair coming up

*Get my Christmas gifts in order…my goal this year is to give thoughtful and fun/meaningful gifts without spending much money at all, and also without going through much “hassle”. Simple, easy,  but good!

*Renew my driver’s license. I’m really excited about this because my current driver’s license photo is from a very dark time in my life, you can see it in my face, and it was before I cut my hair too. ;-)

*Make more of that super duper awesome tomato veggie black bean soup for Thanksgiving dinner we’re having on Sunday

*Load stuff up to take to Salvation Army

*ENJOY LIFE!!!! Every day!

Holy moly guacamole, that is a list indeed!! =) But I’m excited about getting some stuff done, and pulling in resources that I need to get ‘em done. What would you like to get done, and what would you like some help from the fairies with? Let’s create magic!

My Everyday Magic!

Okay people, I am in Get it Done mode! When I am feeling chaotic, I work best with lists…and while I used to feel neurotic about my lists, they are making it on to my Everyday Magic List! LOL

Let us enlist the help of the faeries and the universe to assist us in getting done whatever is needed to be done, and letting go of the rest!

And for motivation, and a tribute to the Song Fairy, as I didn’t get to get online to post my music magic, I offer this awsome music video of Ziggy Marley’s “Give  A Little Love” for some get it done inspiration!! Enjoy!

 *Send out more solicitation letters for Luna Festival sponsorship!

*Register for whatever math level that I tested into at the university and get my books/school supplies

*Announce first art shop!

*Begin lining up and confirming entertainment for Luna Festival

*Writing! Just start compiling…for my BOOK idea!!! Yippeeee!

*Make Tinola (soup) with malunggay leaves, chicken, green papaya…mmm

*Call friend at fire department for bonfire support at Luna Festival!

*Schedule radio shows! Wee I’m getting excited!!!

Oh my gosh, so many exciting things going on for the rest of this year!! So many things on my treasure map coming to fruition… life is AWESOME. And I’m feeling good as I’m “back in the driver’s seat” with creating my super awesome life. And when things get tough, I honor my feelings and do what I can to get back to JOY.

***********

So what would you like help with getting done? The fairies are happy to help make miracles happen! Share your magic and your “get it done” list and watch all the magic work its way through your list! Have an AWESOME day friends!

My “Get it Done” Magic

I have a lot on my to-do list today. More than I can easily get done myself. So, instead of dreading it, I’m going to embrace my tasks (even the tedious, frustrating ones) and I’m calling to the faeries to assist me in getting it done. Then, I’m going to take a moment out of my busy day, take some deep breaths, slow down and send out my appreciation and gratitude to the Universe. Will you join me? Post something that is on your to-do list and ask the faeries for their magical help!

*Make: shawl pin, crochet necklace, apron skirt, goddess doll, cuffs, kerchief, knit play food, dim sum

*Respond to rideshare emails

*declutter

*pack

MEM:

*I have already gotten so much done this morning!

*Lots of dear friends have been getting in touch lately!

*Sharing the Indian Chickpea recipe with you all in the comments below! I can’t wait to hear how you like it!

*Even though I’m getting older and am married, I still feel giddy when guys flirt! lol

*My son starting to knit a doll yesterday and it’s almost done! He’s going to knit catnip filled cat toys for his aunt next!

*Also, sending good healing vibes out to the Sparkle Fairy and her family!

What’s on your to-do list today? Post below, then ask the faeries for their help! I expect that some magical things will happen to make our tasks easier! Come back and post an update later today. Have a magical, productive day!
