I found myself lost for a few moments this morning in the beauty of the sunlight coming through the leaves of the trees and hitting the tile floor that belongs in the 70's.
It was absolutely beautiful and reminded me of the swirling of the gases in the universe, dust being carried on the wind, and the movement of water.
So fluid and lovely.

30 Day Challenge - February - No Facebook
I am nearing the end of my February 30 Day Challenge. No Facebook for the entire month. I have done remarkably well I'd say! I haven't even been tempted to cheat!
Even though it feels like the Universe decided to throw in extra temptation on me daily. Everyday around two-thirty or three o'clock in the afternoon my phone tries to sync up with Facebook, because I had it attached to my contacts. So about that time every day I go to see what time it is, or see if I have any messages, and there it is... mocking me... the Facebook login screen. Everyday I clear it, and say "NO! I will succeed in my challenge this month!"
I would have to say that I have brokenmy addiction. I do not have the constant problem of my mind wandering to what everyone else has got going on, and I am able to focus more on what I am doing or what I need to get done.
I had my friend handle my Palate Adventurers group, and while doing so she mentioned to me that everything was gone. It threw me for a minute, but after I thought about it it made sense. I started pretty much every line of conversation in that Facebook group, and without me it all just disapears. I would have made more announcements about my decision to take a Facebook hiatus, but I thought it through and I knew that they would just go away with me when I deactivated my account.
A few people got in contact with me to make sure I am alright (Thanks Friends!), and I hope that when I come back all questions will be answered. If I had a piece of advice to give about doing this it would be to start making announcements in advance about your departure just to save yourself some issues.
For my next 30 Day Challenge for March I will be working on my career for at least thiry minutes to one hour a day everyday. It can be anything ranging from the path I need to take, articles/blogs on the subject, or scholarship programs. I have a feeling by the end of March I will be much more prepared to take the path I am currently on!
Where did I get this idea? Well two places really...
1. The original post came from here 30 Challenges For 30 Days
2. And the idea to do one every month for all of 2012 came from here 12 Tips To Make 2012 Your Breakthrough Year
(These are actually two of my three new favorite websites/blogs!)

Walking Adventure 02/18/12
I went for a very enjoyable walk on Saturday. I found a new way I hadn't been before. Finding myself now scouting areas to ride our newly purchased four wheeler. This regretfully will not turn into a riding path, but it had the excitement of exploration nonetheless. Below are the pictures...
I thought this appeared to me to be a ring of mushrooms. Perhaps a place where the Fae might live?
A shot of a creek that runs behind a neighborhood. A simplisticly beautiful sight.
The water was moving very fast, almost dancing, due to a recent rain.
I found this little creek to be very beautiful!
My first attempt to show the depth of these twisted vines.
I'd say my successful attempt to show the beauty of these vines.
A strange sight, but again beautiful in its own way.
I was attempting to show the 'to and from' of this little creek. The way it would bend one way and then the next, but the debris at the bottom of the picture prevented this. The angles of the two partially down trees however still creates a dynamic plurality.

What I Believe!
I recently had my life turned upside down last year, and I wouldn't change it for the world.
I had been going through life living what felt like a half life. I had no faith. I was brought up in the Methodist religion, but after my parents got divorced we stopped going to church.
I was also raised to be very open minded, so it wasn't till my father passed away that I went into a state of pushing religion away from me. But to be honest I was doing two things at the time; I pushed it away, but my heart secretly brought it closer. My heart would not let me push it too far away, because it didn't want to think that my dad wasn't in a blissful place now that he wasn't with us anymore.
Fast forward seven years, and now I have faith. I'm still new to it, and it isn't like the faith most people have. I believe in something different. And trust me going through this experience I definitely questioned my sanity a time or two, because it is hard to go against the norm. The best core values are there, but there's always been certain things about religion I couldn't wrap my head or heart around.
I am telling you all of this, because this morning on HighExistence.com a graphic explanation of something similar to what I believe was posted and I want to share it.
You can find that here.
If you were curious and wanted to know exactly what I believe you can read this book.
I won't ever down someone else's beliefs, and I hope that just because I may believe in something different than you that you would honor my beliefs and my right to form them as I see fit. I hope you enjoy learning a different perspective! Have any questions or comments please feel free to leave them below!
Namaste!

Live with love +++++++++++++++++++
Life is beautiful. And love greatly magnifies that beauty.
Love has no reason. It is the reason.
Give love, and you have even more. Live with love, and you live with all the richness life has to offer.
Let yourself love sincerely, without expectation, just because that love flows naturally from who you are. Let go of the pretenses, fears and inhibitions, and live with the love that is at the center of you.
Live with love, and it brings out the best in you. Think, speak and act from a perspective of real, authentic love, and the result is genuine and growing fulfillment.
Live with love. For love will carry you forward like nothing else can.

Brief Walk 02/22/12
Yesterday I took a moment and took a short five to ten minute walk and I observed this tree looking AWESOME! I love when the trees loose their leaves, because you get to see their bone structure. The twists and turns of the branches. Don't get me wrong I love them with their leaves as well! :o) My favorite season is Spring!

Breaking down the walls...
The link below is a link to a discussion board on HighExistence.com. I'm not much of a discussion board person, because I find that it always seems to insite more drama than it does to bring like minded individuals together to have a conversation. But there are exceptions, and discussion boards can bring out some very insightful information.
This post is about cutting through the crap. Breaking down the walls that we've built around ourselves to protect ourselves from the judgemental eyes of others. I would love to do this challenge, but it doesn't feel right for me at this very moment, but someday I will! Do you think you could handle completing it? I'm pretty sure if anyone tries it, it would definitely change their lives! Happy Reading!
If you are impatient, and don't want to read all of this... Here is a link to a speed reader application. It will take a fraction of the time if you use it! Spreeder.com
