Drab to Fab ( cliche but true )

        I have found that when you have something that is old, worn out and dirty it can make your mood go down. A pair of white, dirty shoes I painted into something bright and fun....

An old pink glasses case that got really dirty and grungy I brightened up....

         Sometimes I think we need to take something old and make it new again. DIY is such a trend these days. Going Green is a movement that is sweeping over the world. So why not impliment these trends into your life in a fun and creative way? 

        Andrew's aunt Cate ( of Mixed Greens Home ) has taught me that you can be any shade of green, you can be a light green and recycle (or turn old into new) or you can be dark green and eat green, clean green and LIVE green. I however at this stage in life am light green so my suggestion to you is to make something drab into something fun again!! I promise it changes your mood with just one glance. 

When know body is watching...

        It dawned on me yesterday when I was jammin' in my car to my favorite 90's tunes..... when no one is watching I am a rock star! My voice actually does not crack and I sing on pitch and in tune!! When I am cleaning the house, my dance moves are ON POINT. I dance to the rhythm and I might as well be Shakira's twin. And when I am solo, I speak Spanish fluently ( to myself...)!! Why is it that when NO ONE IS AROUND I perform in the way I want to?? My conclusion... INSECURITY!!
       When other people are around I try harder, and in my efforts I fail more. I put walls up because I am scared of what people will think, but when no walls are up I am free to be myself, I feel no pressure and I am at my truest form. Insecurity paralyzes me. So much of the time I let it take over who I am. But why do I do that? God made me uniquely me. Psalm 139:13 says "You alone created my inner being. You knitted me together inside my mother." So come on, I need to be happy with the way that my FATHER created me to be! 
       I am beautiful, gifted, unique, and compassionate. There I said it. I don't need to have insecurities because I am ME and that is a great thing to be! So here's to letting loose!!
