I Feel Good Challenge

DAY ONE: Take Stock of the Past Five Weeks
Welcome to the final week of the challenge. For over a month, you've been exploring ways to feel better in your mind and body. How are you feeling? What has clicked for you? What didn't work out so well?

Remembering...

Remembering how you loved me and celebrating your birthday!

I miss you so much...

Yeah! Back from my Mini Vacation!

This photo is awesome! It was taken at the North Pole during Sunset and the moon is already there! Amazing! Like my mini vacation to Pebble Beach! Oh just helped to reset the artist within me! Pure inspiration and great friendship!

There is nothing MORE important than people that get you! I have the best art friends! These gals are low maintenance, in fact we decided we don't have to dress or wear make up when we are together, we give each other permission to enjoy with out all that!

I get SO inspired by their love and joy of life! And all the sharing! I am on an art high!

I some times get a little sad going home, because I miss them! Oh how I wish we all lived closer! But at least we found each other and we are so good for each other!

Fun in the sun...

We worked on the Ron's Inspired Planters. Had a great lunch together and went our seperate ways. It was a glorious weekend! Lucy sewed our plastic aprons that were finally dry and they are wonderful! I can't get a great picture of it though because it is hard to see, I will have to remember to wear black when I take a photo.

I was a little sad going home. But I had SO much fun no regrets! Great memories! Like fish and family they start to smell after 3 days, so it was good we all made our exits while still friends! Snort Giggle

Saturday Mellow...

A little trip to Monterey and Carmel to do some shopping...had a lot of fun and then came home for lunch. Bev left early for some previous family stuff planned but Beth and I hung out with Lucy another night.

I had such a great time! We met an artist and I bought one of her sweat shirts and bracelet. We had a lot of fun, not a lot of art. We started a mini glue book in the evening and was just low key! The first layers are done.

Sunset

Some art

We worked on painting labels...glue foiling shells...gessoing the labels with stencils and stamping! Layers it is ALL about layers!

 

A little Beach time!

We drove to a secluded beach and boy it was fantastic! we had it ALL to ourselves! We soaked in the beauty and ate our lunch! Pure joy! AND the sand really is pebbles!

We are together Again!

Oh we have been looking forward to this mini vacation together! Friday - Sunday! Oh the joy of good friends, food, art, and Pebble Beach surroundings! What a wonderful time we have on our get togethers!

We just energize eachother! It is great to have such good friends that are all low maintenance, understand eachother, and encourage one another! Whew! Such goodness!

DAY FIVE: Love the Difficult Person in Your Life
"It's a thin line between love and hate." --the Persuaders

So far this week, you've worked on developing compassion for yourself and for others. For the most part, you've concentrated on people you either like or don't know. Today, you're going to step it up a notch. You're going to make a conscious effort to identify with someone who gets under your skin, and then you're going to wish that person well.
