Sweet Gestures - Happy V-Day
Last night my husband went to bed early & do I went into his bathroom & left a note on his mirror. I figured he'd see it today. So he was gone when I woke up & I found it unusual that he wouldn't leave a note back to me - I couldn't find one anywhere! So, I sent him a text & said, did you see the note I left you?
Sometimes he's in such a rush to get to work - he misses things....
He told me he saw it & loved it! So of course I said to him jokingly, "it's so strange you didn't leave a note back, it's not like you" - he said, "I did." - I was confused - then as I'm walking over to my computer and turned it on - BAM....this pops up! (see below)
It's 'sweet gestures' like this that let us practice our LOVE for each other - making love a 'VERB' as Andy Stanley would say.
So, will today be a day full of LOVE for you? If not, try to surround yourself with family or friends, and enjoy today no matter what.
Happy Valentine's Day everyone!!!

We Are Moved
It's been a busy & exhausting few days. We moved into the new place on Friday & so far the living room is all set up - minus the sofa! I finally decided on sofa color from Jayson Home & Garden, but won't reveal it until it arrives. Crossing my fingers & hoping we get it in time for the Christmas Holidays. Luckily, we still have our dining table to sit on...
In the meanwhile, if you're following me on my Instagram - you'll notice I post little updates there. Here's a peek at our place & how it's looking so far. Woo hoo.
Hope you all are well. Isn't moving a pain in the neck?? My husband says, "this is the last move."
Now back to work & shipping items out around nov 24th!

My Birthday
Today is Aug. 15th, my birthday.
I was born 39 years ago here in NYC. I've been through a lot of things in my life - both good & bad and like most of you, kept on moving forward. Age didn't scare me until a few days ago when I started feeling sick & ended up in the emergency room at Lenox Hill hospital. According to the doctors, they didn't find anything obviously wrong. Great. I don't know if I should be celebrating or concerned. It did remind me (after viewing my X-rays) that I had mild Levoscoliosis of lumbar spine. The first time I found this out was about 5 years ago. It has now brought up concerns about my health & posture.
So much so, that I decided I'll sign up for some type of stretching class & physical Therapy to perhaps slow down the curvature. It isn't obvious if you look at me, so don't count me out yet.... Anyone else have this?? I'm curious. The only thing I've experienced is lower back pain off & on, especially if I'm sitting in one position for too long.
Sure, I got a little sad, but my sadness stemmed from how my partner would look at me 'if' this got worse. Would he think I was ugly? not attractive? You know, all those ugly, awful thoughts we should really avoid but can't help but think about. After expressing my concerns to him he told me he would love me no matter what & that he thinks I'm beautiful both inside & out. I believe him, he's never proven otherwise.
So today I celebrate, because it's another year of life that God has given me to live. Another year he has given me to celebrate with my family & friends. Another year to grow my business. It's another year he has given me to love HIM & care for others.
I am thankful & know that worrying will only cause the bad thoughts to start rolling in. So, I will continue to move forward and allow more love in my life & less worry. I'm not going to lie, I'd rather be turning 25. But continuing to wish that would be living in the past & not in what life has for me today.
As I look out my window the rain is starting to come down. As I look to my left I see a dog who loves me unconditionally & then I look at the bathroom mirror at what my husband wrote this morning. So cute.
Hope you're having a great day. I'll show you on My Twitter what my guy is cooking up for my Birthday later tonight! Can't wait.
