The Leaves are Still Falling

It's fall. The leaves are changing from green to yellow. Sometimes they fall.

I have been going through a mid-semester slump. My classes are getting harder, decisions are to be made, and it's cold. This blog is for those of us who have been going and going and going. This is the time to take a moment, to look at our lives and the things we've been doing. The time to change our routines and attitudes. The "you can do it when things get tuff." This blog is for me and it is for you. Below are a few things I am doing to get out of my slump.

Plan a trip. It gives you something to look forward to. Traveling is what it is, a book.

Share your passion with the world. I am attracted to people who are passionate about something. Why? Because they are happy about the little things and they love others to know what makes them happy. Do what makes you smile. "Life is short, share your passions!" Show the world how excited you are about something.

Say what you feel. Say it! For one day, say everything you would say if you weren't afraid. Sometimes in life, things could be simpler if people would share how they really feel.

Follow your dreams. If you don't feel like what you are doing is what you want to be doing, or it is not leading you to your dream then stop doing it. Part of creation comes from getting out of your head.

Last but not least, meditate. Every morning take 5-minutes to be still. To move your energy to your heart. "Energy is everything and everything is energy."-- Jay Olsen

P.S. Get out of your head and live!

Tag, Who Was I?

I've been thinking about the past and how I have changed. It's interesting to think back to who I was and the things I liked. I was awkward and silly. I made funny videos and liked Aaron Carter. I didn't text and I had no idea what Facebook was.

My friend recently posted a blog called "20 Things, Tag You're it" While answering the questions I thought about how I would have answered them eight years ago. This is a short list of what I like now.

1. Favorite TV show? Friday Night Lights "Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose!"

2. Song I can't stop listening to is... "And Then You" by Greg Laswell

3. Red or nude lips? Nude

4. Facebook or Twitter? Twitter, it is more fascinating

5. Gold or silver? Silver, my horseshoe necklace is gold, it's growing on me

6. Favorite fashion designer? (or clothing line) Anthropology

7. Any recent travels? I have been back from Namibia Africa for about 2 months. Maine is calling my name.

8. Makeup you can't live without? Lip gloss

9. Favorite childhood TV show? Growing Pains and Arthur

11. What were you doing a year ago from now? I was going to school and I was a student coordinator for the service council. I was learning how to break out of comfort zone. I think I did.

12. If you could live in any era, what would it be? The early 1900's. I love the idea that they wore hats! I just want to know what it would be like to kill a chicken with my hands and wear long dresses while baking bread or riding a bike.

13. Where are you from? Redmond, Utah (population 788)

14. Favorite food? Oatmeal, Swedish meatballs, grilled cheese, pancakes, and salsa

15. Makeup or fashion? Makeup, this whole fashion thing is growing on me.
