“Busting Out!” Magic 3/10/2012 March 10, 2012

Sparkle Fairy

I’ve mentioned this past week how I’ve been spreading my wings and busting out of my comfort zone (which is really just a nice term for a “rut”). And I’ve been taking my family along with me. It hasn’t been initially easy ~ some fights, whining, negotiations have taken place, but I know it’s just because humans are innately resistant to change…even if it’s GREAT for them. Today I’m taking a MUCH-NEEDED 1/2 day off… okay it’s only 4 hours. But 4 hours in this family is a big deal right now. Hubby has never been in charge of the THREE boys for longer than 90 minutes or so. And baby has never not nursed for that long. But I need to find a new way to be in my family. A way where everyone learns to be less dependent on me and more dependent on themselves. Will this happen in 4 hours? I really believe it will! I trust that in 4 hours my family will find ways of “figuring it out” that doesn’t have anything to do with me and perhaps new levels of teamwork and POWER will emerge. And damn! I can’t WAIT to have some time to myself to quietly think, run, and shop! ; ) So onwards and upwards…even if it’s scary!

Are there ways you are breaking out of your comfort zone? Or ways that you want to?

My Magic

* I’m LEAVING in 90 minutes!!!

* Finding it HILARIOUS that as I try to negotiate 4 hours, 2 of my dearest friends are leaving their families ALL DAY and OVER NIGHT! (My higher self told me that the jump from 4 hours to all day is NOT that far at all. Something to look forward to! ;) )

* Pizza for dinner last night!

* A fun time at Walmart (yes, WALMART!) yesterday with my boys.

* GREAT conversations with my beloved hubby last night and realizations that blew my mind!

* Being in a great place with hubby all week after some initial resistance to my time away.

* Shaking off a bad night’s sleep easily and effortlessly.

* I’m leaving in 88 minutes!!!

Happy Saturday! I love you! Stretch yourself! :)

 

Moments of Bliss: My Sparkle Magic 6/17/11 June 17, 2011

Bliss with the "Sparkle" Magic touch.

Moments of Bliss: My Sparkle Magic

Had another one of those moments where I had left my toddler to her own creations and got quite the creative mess! And with glitter, the hardest of all crafting messes to clean up after. Evidence of this twinkling art supply can be found for days, weeks, even months after the specs have been collected, poured back into their container, or moved on to a journey into the waste bin. But there is always something quite humbling when you are talking to a stranger or walking up to a cashier and you catch that glint of pink on their cheek or that flash of sparkle flecked in an eyelash. I can’t help but imagine that person at home creating with a little one taking the time to have a moment of bliss. Or like in my case that person was taken by surprise with a glitter fireworks display across the kitchen table! I must admit at first glance I was livid! But all that sparkle and all that magic… in it’s chaos was quite beautiful and whilst cleaning up the coating of shimmering speckles, my hand gloved in Sparkle Magic, caught me in another moment of my own bliss. And I smiled all the while as my little one and I joked about how much work cleaning up glitter was!

This “Sparkle” Magic is dedicated  to our Dearest Sparkle Fairy, a bliss moment so perfectly timed within our Sparkles birthday month!!!

Note from the Rainbow Faery:

As we faeries like to do, we get quite mischievous in our posting habits some times! The above (BEAUTIFUL) post by the Bliss Faery was a stand in for our dear Sunshine Faerie…and then her computer wouldn’t let her back on to finish and send off the post! So here I am, your Rainbow Faery, fillin’ in with/for Bliss and Sunshine Faeries to spread lots of beautiful, chaotic, perfectly timed sparkly magic!

Rainbow and Bliss Faery, on one of our few nights out together! And *ahem, if I do say so myself, I think we are both pretty sparkly in this photo. lol

I’d like to add some magic that I see in our dear Bliss Faery, as I love and cherish her so much!

*She feels with all her being

*She is SO talented and brilliant, and never runs out of ideas. She’s helped me come up with more than one of my business names!

*She is a loving and authentic mother. I for one would probably just be livid about glitter being everywhere. As artsy as I am, I admit I am quite resistant to art projects with my kids. I admire the Bliss Faery’s (and her husband’s too) willingness to let their children have hands-on fun with all the fun and messy things in life.

*She is wonderful friend that I know I can turn to, and Indeed, I have.  

What a blessing to get to jump in and shake things up a little in our magical world! I hope you are all enjoying a wonderful Friday (since on Guam it is Saturday by the time you all are reading this, I am happy to report that Friday was/is great!). What’s sparkling in your life lately? 

Come and share in the comments below and watch how the magic grows!

Mobile Magic

This is the first post I’m writing using the WordPress app for my iPad…. It’s definitely a learning curve but I think it will be good. I love reading MEM on the go, the mobile version is awesome!

Anyway, I tagged today with “Shakin Things Up!” because it’s always nice to try a new way to do something you always do. What are you going to shake up today??

My Everyday Magic:
~Spending the WHOLE weekend with my sweetie and seeing some good friends, plus my sister and mommy :)
~My new Contigo water bottles – check them out… They are the BEST reusable bottles, hands down. I just bought like 6!
~Randomly going into a store in the mall and finding the PERFECT sunhat, bracelet, black flats, and….
~ Red slingback high heels!! (yes, they are so fabulous they deserve their own line)
~ Our lettuce and seedlings just continue to grow grow grow!!!
~ My awesome new “work bag”… I was the Shopping Fairy this week for sure!! ;)
~ Looking forward to a super awesome week!

“Shakin’ Things Up” Magic!

You know that feeling when your comfort zone becomes so damn uncomfortable you JUST HAVE to bust out of it? Yep, that’s where I’m at. It’s definitely time to shake things up again and that’s what I’m doing in big and little ways. If your zone feels like a rut, join me in shakin’ things up!

Shakin’ It

* We’re starting to transition out of our family bed and out of our first-floor master bedroom. Two nights ago we all moved into our upstairs master bedroom and put the boys on a mattress on the floor ~ it went swimmingly (the boys actually slept better than the parents!). We will continue!

* Today for the first time in over 6 years I’m going to the…..GYM! I really thought I’d never step foot in a gym again after being a personal trainer for years and sort of looked at as a step backward from the dance and yoga I’ve been pursuing. But I’m feeling the need to be STRONG again (other than my mama-muscles ;) ) and I’m looking forward to my gym visit today ~ with no expectations or commitments, just a “trying on” to see how it feels to be back again.

* We’re finally going to go camping! We actually bought the equipment months ago and other than using the tent in our backyard, it’s been sitting in our garage still in the bags. We’re making plans for tomorrow or next week!

* I’m going to go to a new friend-recommended hair stylist and get BANGS! I haven’t had bangs in well over….let’s see….20 YEARS!!! Yes, it’s about freakin’ time for a new hairstyle!

* I’m laughing at myself more and taking myself MUCH LESS seriously! THIS IS A BIG ONE!

My Everyday Magic

* I’m really excited about going to the gym today!! I’m going to sprint on the treadmill and use the squat rack and leg press and the tricep pressdown and then check out the daycare to see if the kiddos might like going with me!

* Having the chance to go to the health food store all by myself today!

* Dearest Hubby and I being able to laugh at ourselves after a day of folly, frustration, and not being able to get out of our own way!

* Glee!!

* Mini-popsicles ~ they make my boys so happy!

What’s making your magic today? Post in comments below and shake things up with me! I love you!
