30 days of the everyday.
First things first, let's get the housekeeping out of the way. Here are the contents of my packages from yesterday.
These beautiful necklaces from Chocolate & Steel. How cute is her receipt - a little paper plane.
Some of Lara's fabric. I'm looking forward to making something special with these.
Finally a not photoworthy little book which I purchased online & I'm pretty excited about.
And now about the 30 days...
I have gained so much from this 30 day gig. I'm pretty much a head down bum up kind of girl & I really thought that having this blog had made me "stop & smell the roses".
The 30 days proved me wrong. I've found myself really taking stock of what & who is around me & valuing & appreciating the hand I'm playing at the moment. It's a good life - even when it feels a bit out of control. I'm so lucky & I'm really focussing on living my life to the full & making the most of every minute.
I read this interview with Kristi Arnold on Design for Mankind during my 30 days & I wanted to share this snippet...
Best advice anyone ever gave you?
K: Don't wait for opportunities to come to you. Seek them out, create your own options. I think a lot of people get stuck in places...waiting for something big to happen...then 10 years pass by and they are still in the same place, wondering what happened.
