OMG! Blogging is already like meditation for me...am I doing it right? Do I need to sit out in my beautifully landscaped yard with tea and my laptop to set the stage (and hum a few 'OMs')? I DID grab all my son's Easter Eggs filled with jelly beans to propel me with sugar up here in the office. I've only written one blog, right? I'm already beating myself up for blogging less than the professional bloggers. This is already a new vehicle with which I can flog myself for failing. But I won't let that happen, like it did with flossing and meditating. Because this is way too much fun...a job in which being yourself is the calling!
I found out long ago in a little independent film that I HATE acting. I much prefer to do things where being me is enough, like singing the blues (www.velvetcrumble.com in my late 20's and early 30's - I can say that now that I'm 35)...and BLOGGING!
So today's theme is GRATITUDE. And for those of you who know me, WHAT else would it BE?? :) I found gratitude today when I looked up at our dry-erase board and read my list for the day...a list which usually navigates this stay-at-home mom with a wee bit of stress and direction. Look, my brain can be messy, so I use meditation and lists to harness my spazziness.
I got new perspective when today's list read: "Bead Texas' ( a two-yr-old neighbor) his birthday necklace, plant the Sunflower Seeds, bake the beets and cookies, and read blogs and write your's!"
Ahem, (insert humility here)....this day's duties read more like the vacation days of most of my intense, career-busting East Coast best friends', then a day of work for anyone. What the hell? let's just say it!!! I'm having a GREAT DAY! My toddler and I played all day without plans, and without other toddlers or family. I FINALLY settled down to read some books to him (something I don't do enough), and we shared leftover pasta. Now, during his 2-hour nap I'm accomplishing my "vacation" list. It's a GREAT day. I even snuck in some phone calls and texting to friends. (As you get to know me, you'll find out I struggle as much with the phone, as I do with meditation).
So who am I anyway???? Who CARES about this little Southern Californian at home with her toddler??? Goldierocks stands for my at-home Jewelry Business, www.Goldierocksjewelry.com, a hobby-turned-moneymaker for me. I string beads and turn OLD JUNK Jewelry into hip wearable pieces again for all my friends and family! (See Wreckollections on my Goldierocks homepage). I'm 35, a LESSSSssbian, and happily married to my wife 5 years in August, I make jewelry, I attach my dogs to my bike, throw the 2 year old in the attached bike trailer and exercise the family most days....and..that's enough for now.
