Simply Thankful

I feel like i'm constantly asking God for things: help me with this test, mend this friendship, do this, do that. Isn't it annoying when you have that friend that only comes to you when they need a favor? You feel used, and it just doesn't feel like a friendship. I've been thinking about changing that. I want to do something for God. I know--"God has everything, there isn't anything that I could possibly give him". I have decided that this week before finals, I won't ask God for anything, but I will instead thank him daily. This is my week of thanks.

This week I thank God for energy, the sun, ability to run, school, parents, the sabbath, providing me with shelter, keeping me safe, listening to my selfish prayers, loving me regardless of my sinful nature, forgiveness, a godly boyfriend, a caring sister, loving friends. 

Earth day.

Earth day has to be on my top 10 of favorite days! I love the fact that we celebrate nature, and think about God's beautiful creation. This year I'm doing Design*Sponge's April Instagram challenge. This weekend I got to enjoy the Ocoee with my family, and it made me realize how lucky we are to have this beautiful river so close to us. We often take these gifts for granted. Some of my resolutions are:

uno| walk more.

dos| reuse containers.

tres| save more, buy less. 

cuatro| use, reuse, recycle.

These past few weeks

I've been trying to get as many things done before the end of the school year and lets just say I'm behind on school work. I need to get back on track! While I should be studying i've been experiencing new things, below are some pictures of my favorite old & new things from these past adventures.  The first picture (left to right) is of new places I want to travel and blog about, the second picture is of one of my new favorite bible verses (it's so encouraging). The third picture is of a bakery t at the Lincoln Road farmer's market (I love that farmer's market.) The fourth picture is of a Catholic church in Jackson Square in New Orleans. The fifth picture is of my favorite bookstore in Coral Gables, and the last one is of another artist market in New Orleans.  

I can't wait to see what more experiences life will bring. 

Go for it.

I like girly things, and I can't wait to have my own home. You see I'm tired of living an ordinary life. I want to do big things! I need to get up from the couch and reach my goals. The question that I'm currently struggling with is how do I get there? How do I find my self achieving these goals. I'm scared & secretly letting my fears stop me. Its cliche I know, but sadly in this case it's true. Right now on my to apply list are: the riffle paper company, Kate Spade, and Martha Stewart Living. I needed just a quick rant, and a little push to get over this. 

I wish I worked for Kate Spade Corporate

Soup days

Living in Tennessee in the winter is a struggle for a Miami girl. Soup helps me survive these cold rainy winter days. This past Friday I made Pho, this was my first attempt at making a modified Vietnamese meal. It turned out great I think. This year I'm going to dedicate it to cooking healthy meals at home, I eat out way to much. I will be sharing some recipes soon!

Long weeks

Let me put this in perspective: right now I'm procrastinating lots of things that need to be done. For what? post on my blog. I realized that I completely abandoned my blog to focus on things like business school. To become the "best" business major I can be, so that when I'm out in corporate America I don't get eaten alive by those corporate ladder climbing sharks. yeah yeah whatever. Anyways I now decided that is a dumb idea and I'm doing something for my self, which is working on this blog.

The weeks of this winter semester have been adventure filled. This weekend I'm going to a cabin for a girls getaway, there will be lots of storied to tell. I will be adding to my adventure list for sure! As of now all I can think about is how much I hate studying and how much I love my bed.

Love,
