a glimpse...

a glimpse into what we've been up to... lol..

 
well..lets see..fighting the flu! ... working 40hrs a week.. we've been enjoying some wonderful products! I really think Xango mangosteen juice has helped us battle this awful flu that has plagued our area..

 Another wonderful product is Glimpse.. as seen here..  oh and what some are saying about it...and one { Martha likes XANGO }more...

 
My glimpse arrived today..so we will see how it goes! If the skin products work as well as the Mangosteen juice.. I know I will have rejuvenated skin in no time! keep ya posted..

gratitude...

 

There ya go..these gals were just minding their own business and along comes the...

 Ever feel like nothing is going right?..can't get a break?.. I was reading my Ladies Who Launch daily launch tip.. "Expressing gratitude is one of the easiest and quickest ways to shift thought patterns, yet we often forget about it in times of need. In other words, in the moments when we’re feeling stuck or down, accessing that part of ourselves that is grateful for what we have can be a challenge. The problem is that in these moments, we lose our ability to control our thoughts; we allow negativity to creep in as a value proposition even though it literally gets us nowhere in the end—in fact negativity, if chronic, will sabotage every dream and every goal we’ve ever had. Training yourself to be grateful in moments of doubt is the first step towards eliminating them altogether."- Ladies Who Launch

Thought for today...

 

days of summer...

It's almost over..Summer...I really don't care if this is fake or not..

  I miss playing ball....

just do it...

I did..I just did it.. I couldn't stand it anymore..

  I created today!! I haven't picked up a snippet of paper or my solder iron since.. I can't remember when..I could tell by the messy solder..but these lovelies are complete and my soul feels better!

  This little one has the fun birds on one side and says.. " Meant to fly"... Adding little pieces to your life and your wardrobe that are unique can inspire you when you least expect it! I love wearing these little charms..I see my reflection at work..or driving..and it reminds me that the moment I'm in isn't all there is to life..

 The lady with the glasses charm..hehe..says on the back  "What were you thinking"..Oh.. I soo want to ask people I encounter that at work some times.. {my day job is in insurance}...

  This wonderful soldered charm has a unique collage on the back that says " Fancy pants"... Boy, it felt good to create today.. been a very long time..

Hope you are having a wonderful weekend! Thanks so much for stopping by...

Ciao!
