Focusing on Life - Week Three: Taking Time

I'm linking up with Sally again over at The Studio Sublime for her weekly Focusing on Life photo submission. This week's theme was taking time for ourselves, which fit in nicely with my weekend mountain getaway. 

So far the weekend has included snuggling up by the fire, walking Gracie in the snow, beading bracelets and feasting on delicious homemade vegetable stew.

Have a great weekend. Don't forget to take some time for yourself!

Let it Bead,

I Promise I'll Keep it Short

I love long hair. Long, wavy hair to be exact. Problem is, my hair is stick straight and can only keep a curl for about an hour, despite the copious amounts of styling tools and products I use. But that doesn't stop me from growing my hair out every once and awhile with the hopes that I'll "make it work" this time around.

Shortly after sporting the beautiful hair bow look for my friend's wedding in December, my long hair quickly went from fab to drab.  It was just too long to manage and I couldn't justify the time or energy it took to dry and style it every day. So I took the plunge and cut most of it off!

The result: a lighter, fresher, more manageable coif!

Let it Bead,

Focusing on Life - Week Two: Your Word

I'm linking up with Sally again over at The Studio Sublime for her weekly Focusing on Life photo submission. This week's theme was to choose a word to focus on in the new year. Based on my photo, it's no surprise what word I chose:

The past year and a half have been challenging for me health-wise. When I tell myself it can't get any worse, I seem to be reminded that it can. (There's a partial view of the immobilizing boot I'm currently forced to wear as the result of a recent high ankle sprain in my photo.)

I chose the word HOPE to focus on in 2013 for a few reasons: Hope I'll get better physically; Hope that there are valuable lessons to be learned from these unexpected challenges; Hope that everything will work out the way it's meant to, even if it's not the way I want it to.

Let it Bead,
