Coming in September!

The new website is almost ready to go live... 

It has taken me a long time to get to this point...

Mainly, because I have had to learn how to do everything by myself...

{ok and I had to figure out what my vision would look like and 

how it would come together}

But I'm learning to be more techno~savvy.

But I'm excited to be so close to the finish line finally!

I anticipate to go live with my new website 

towards the end of this month.

There are a few changes I'm not sure how they will be affected once I switch over to the new website.  

The web address will remain the same but I'm not sure if my old posts will transfer over  very easily and I'm trying to work out a solution for that.  I will probably switch them to a blogspot address so you can still access them if you still want. 

I will keep you updated. 

Instagram...

So I know I haven't been around very much lately and I truly apologize and hope some of you are still sticking around.  I am still working on a whole new exciting project that is taking a bit longer than I expected.  But I want to do it right and I want to get back to blogging soon but in the meantime, I have found Instagram {I know, it's taken me a while to hop on that bandwagon, but now that I have, I'm having a lot of fun!}.

It has been an easy, low stress way of sharing small snippet's of my life while I haven't been able to get full blog posts up.  I know I will be back soon, but in the meantime, if a smartphone is your thing, and if you want to follow along with me, then look me up!  My username is:  WTBYourself

Mwah!

Change Is Coming

I am so excited!

I have been busy as a bee behind the scenes.

Change is about to happen.

I am about ready to stretch my wings

and emerge from my cocoon!

It is beautiful!

And exciting!

The details are all coming together!

I can't wait to show you!

~ Stay tuned ~

Meditate on This!

I have been doing a ton of thinking the past few months as I work out the details of my life redesign.  I'm not sure what it will look like yet, I just know I'm headed in the right direction and that's part of the fun.  But I do wonder where it will lead me.

One thing I've noticed during all this thinking is . . .

 that I am always thinking!

Thinking, thinking, thinking...

Trying to work the details out in my head...

Trying to make sense of how it will all look...

and feel...

and function...

I think all day long about it.  

I wake up in the middle of the night,

and I think about it.

I say my morning and evening prayers

praying about it...

then thinking about it some more.

One morning I woke up with the thought in my head...

"Whoa!  You're right!" I said.

"Thank you!" 

I love it when the spirit teaches me!

I have been so wrapped up in my head!

And I wasn't stopping to listen.

I would pray for answers and then immediately be off

in my own head again, trying to reason it out! 

I imagine He might be trying to get a word in,

but I'm dominating the conversation!

The Lord's plan may be completely different

than what I think my plan should be like.

So I just need to stop.


And listen.

Change Of Plans...

A lot of people keep asking ... 

We have had a change of plans 

on this whole Brazil thing.

Back in December we had a huge scare with my mother-in-laws health.  Her health is fragile.  She ended up on life support and we didn't know if she would be able to make it off of it.  Luckily she did, but it made us realize that with her health in this condition things can happen so fast and we don't want to be half a world away.  So the Brazil dream is on hold again until who knows when!

So we decided to pursue another dream!  

That of owning an RV!

Meet the newest member of our family!

We have named it ...

The Potato Wagon

To honor her Idaho heritage.  

We bought her from a cute little farm couple in Idaho who loved her and took care of her.  And we will too.  It is just perfect to haul around our little tater tots!

Now, where shall we go first???

Mid Year Resolution Review

This years theme is clean.

How am I doing with the clean thing?

Well, I think my husband wishes I were working more on the household side of cleaning and  organizing, but mostly my focus has been on the health side of things so far.

I have cleaned up my diet.  Sourced and figured out where to buy the best organic meats, dairy and produce.  I have even begun culturing my own kefir with probiotic goodness!

I have also begun to clean up my cosmetics, body care products, laundry products and my medicine cabinet.

I am getting serious about this category.  I have discarded bags of scented hand lotions and products with toxic chemicals in them.

I am working on a handy little list of ingredients to avoid to carry with me while out shopping.  Hopefully I will get that finished soon and I will post it for anyone else who might want it too!

How are your goals going?

Remember, every day is a new day to start over!
