Another change of large proportion! Since lately I have been feeling 10x better about myself I have been inspired and motivated to help our 
apartment feel better about itself. Basically helping my surroundings look more like how I feel. So, Clark and I have been switching up our place, getting rid of A LOT of STUFF. We have decided to take each room one at a time and re-style it with new fix’n’s. We started with the Bedroom, and will move on to the main room and then the kitchen. Having removed so much in our bedroom, we have condensed our closet space to half, and moved the food-storage to the empty half of the closet, saved A LOT of room in our bedroom. Now we don’t have to go to bed dreaming of food. haha! 
WOW! Big changes, and it feels sooooo good to have a clean and organized house. It’s so symbolic this change. Removing all this ‘junk’ in my head, my mind feeling so FREE and clear and more organized. It’s so true that your surroundings affect how you feel about yourself. Clean house – clean mind, filled with joy! I literally feel the spirit growing in our home and it feels wonderful. 
That is mainly what we have been working on this week besides – just working. One new habit we applied to our daily life is removing TV from Monday through Thursday. I’m so grateful for DVR 
So we party it up big time on the weekends, movies and TV & going out and having fun at the Beach. But MY-OH-MY does a simple act of moving TV – time to only weekends make a HUGE difference! Clark and I never realized how long days can be when you do that. We find ourselves doing so much more work, or hobbies that we always felt we didn’t have time for, etc etc. I think this will be a permanent change to our daily lifestyle. It helps in so many ways to make you feel like you have LOTS more time in a day to get things done.
Work has been really busy lately, but still fun. We’re meeting deadlines for this upcoming week – releasing new website themes and a new company site. I have been making video tutorials, written tutorials and keeping up with the customer support. A lot of people out there in the world can’t wait until 5pm to stop working, I feel that way too – except, since there is SO many things on my work ‘to – do’ list, it’s hard for me to actually physically STOP working. Clark has been helping me to breathe – stand up and walk away from the computer or get out of the house. Then I can switch off my ‘working’ mindset and let go and leave it until tomorrow. It’s hard, but my life is getting less rigid and more relaxed and flexible and spontaneous.
I know I might sound like a ’seriously so blessed’ person lately, but I can’t help but shout out to the world of what a difference Charity makes in renewing your life. That life doesn’t have to be taken so seriously. If someone is mean to you, or you have a hard time understanding why he/she did that or chose to make that decision in life or – whatever – it doesn’t matter. When you’re in the mindset of what’s in it for them, and you make the best choice: to LOVE, it makes ALLLLL the difference in their world and yours! There is so much beauty and love and happiness in the world, that there is no reason to doubt that God will help you in whatever struggle you may have in your life. Give it time, have patience, God will send you angels – pay attention to the subtle messages He sends you and you will find your life slowly but surely becoming brighter and better each day! You will feel stronger and more confident!
I still have down days, but they are not nearly as bad as they used to be. I’m still growing, still learning and building up my strength, but I see success and further joy closer down the road and it’s exciting!
I hope for everyone who reads this, whatever you might be thinking – that you always seek for ways to remove the critical thoughts, or judgment or assumptions you might have for people in your life – and replace these ‘beliefs’ with loving thoughts. Ask yourself “What’s in it for them, if I have this belief about them? Does it help them become a better person? Does it help me feel more love for them and myself?” . It takes practice, but believe you me – you’ll find your life much more happy by working on this little by little each day. You might be shocked at how active your mind may be, in its negative beliefs, whether they be about yourself or others. Replacing negativity with positivity is ALWAYS a good thing.
