Focus.

Hey Hey Hey!

HAPPY FLIPPIN FRIDAY.

Today is going to be wonderful :)

I am ecstatic that I get to see this dreamboat today!

YAHOOOOO. Long awaited.

SO, I've been thinking about the new year...not resolutions. Just what I want to focus on. Do you write out a focus for the year or do you write out goals??

In 2015, I really want to focus on the things I already do, and really become better. Last weekend during my Bodyflow Training, every time someone would instruct we had to tell them their strengths and something they could work on to improve. Jen said that there is ALWAYS room for improvement. And that is something that totally runs in my blood. As an artist, we are our toughest critic, and will always see where we can improve. Its one of those things that seems to be a blessing and a curse at the same time. It's great because the perfectionism is what drives you to always want improvement. When I was working towards my art degree it was a hard road for anyone to receive an "A" because like I said artists A L W A Y S see room for improvement.

So I say all of this to say this, challenge yourself in the new year. Take O N E thing that you know could use improvement. It doesn't have to be a craft, it could be a a self-worthing thing, it could be a character thing, it could be the way you handle relationships, it could be really any thing. Focus on it and get better at, be a better person for it. 

I know there is a WHOLE lot of GOOD going on in the world. Heck, my sweet baby seester is all the way in Romania RIGHT NOW making a HUGE difference in the lives of sweet children. but when I think back over 2014, I really see a year full of, well, honestly a whole lot of negative. It seems like every time I pass the television, there is some bad/sad/depressing news on and it only seems to get worse. All of the hate in this world, all of the protests, all of the murders is sickening. {I realize that a lot of the news simply focuses on negative because thats what gets ratings up!} But really, what if everyone focused on one negative thing in their life and worked on turning that negative into a positive. Do you think it would contribute to the whole world as a whole? I do!! Lets make a positive difference friends!!

Bye for now,

Such a B L E S S I N G -- So Worth Loving

Tonight I had the pleasure of meeting this gem.

Eryn is the founder of So Worth Loving. She is so inspiring and what her and her team is doing is impacting the lives of so many people. Here's what they are all about...

"Our manifesto. Why we exist. Your reminder.

No matter my history, past mistakes, relationship status, or career choice, I am worthy of love. I am not defined by my past. I am prepared because of it. While my own voice and others may tell me different, I will lean into the safe people that affirm this way of thinking. When I encourage others to love themselves I am encouraging them to treat themselves with kindness, patience, respect, and all that embodies love. We live our life knowing we have worth.  

So Worth Loving. It's a lifestyle.

It was the best night. seriously! Just sitting and chatting with a few ladies about our stories, passions, dreams, inspirations....SO incredibly refreshing and motivating. Hearing stories that sound so familiar and similar to this point I am at in my life was really encouraging. 

For me, it was just affirmation that I am on the right track in my life, that I am going after God's plan and his only. His plan I can't even comprehend or imagine how incredible it is. His plan is so much better than mine and I am completely surrendered. 

Great Great night friends!!

Please never forget that you are worth so so so much love. 

Rest easy on that TRUTH tonight. 

Stop by So Worth Loving!

SWL----Flowy Tee

Hey there! It's e a r l y.

and why am I up?!? GYM time. I've been putting some serious time into the gym and I'm loving it. I'm so sleepy right now and honestly DO NOT want to get out of my apartment this early, but it's definitely worth the struggle once I get there. So Rewarding.

I told you all a couple of weeks ago {maybe even last week} How excited and in love I was with So Worth Lovings new striped tee. Well, I got mine!!!! and I'm even more in love with it in person than I was on their site.

It's perfect and makes me so happy for the spring.

Sunday I just wore it with a simple skirt, boots, and long cardigan.

Thanks to Raegy for the shots.

How you checked out SWL and the message they are spreading?

Check them out!!!

SWL-LIFE

 this my friends has my name ALL flipping over it.

First of all, you know I am a HUGE supporter of So Worth Loving and the message that they are spreading. THEY SPEAK LIFE!

In my small group we are studying the book of James. Last night we dove into Chapter 3 which is all about speaking L I F E into people as well as ourselves & having the Wisdom to do so. I've never seen a company that is so much about speaking L I F E. 

The back half of Chapter 3 talks about the Wisdom we must have. Our mouths can say things sometimes that we might not even mean. Things just come out. Things can be taken the wrong way. We don't know how to keep our mouths shut! The bible says that its a little scary that we can tame a wild animal, yet we can't tame the tongue. However God gives us the wisdom to know what we should or should not say and when or when not to say it.

"But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure. Then it gives peace. It is gentle and willing to obey. It is full of loving-kindness and of doing good. It has no doubts and does not pretend to be something it is not. 18 Those who plant seeds of peace will gather what is right and good."

-James 3:17&18-

Today I will speak LIFE not DEATH.

Happy Thursday!

"Baby Ill give you everything you need

I'll give you everything you need, oh

I'll give you everything you need

But I don't think I need you.

After the war we said we'd fight together

I guess we thought that's just what humans do

Letting darkness grow

As if we need  its palette and we need its colour

But now I've seen it through

And now I know the truth 

That anything could happen."

Underestimated

Sunday afternoon, I went and had some asian food with my long time friend Will. Will & I have known each other our entire lives basically and he was one of my best friends all through High School. When they brought our checks of course they brought us fortune cookies. Usually I open them, halfway read them and laugh because they are usually pretty silly. This one however, really struck a chord.

Since Sunday I've been thinking about how I view myself. Just to be honest, I have zero confidence in my talents and I underestimate myself too often. I know they saying we are our own worst critic, and its such a true statement, but for me...I do nothing to critique myself on. I'm just wasting my talent doing the same thing day in and day out. just over and over and over again. And who's fault is that? No ones but mine!

I think the problem is that the goals I set are so easy for me to achieve. I set goals that I know I can accomplish....Yes, when you set goals you should set realistic ones, but they should at least be challenging. Mine aren't and thats no ones fault but my own simply because I underestimate the things I can do, and I am terrified of failure. Again, just wasting talent because of fear. It's ridiculous. I really need to re-evalute my life and the plan that GOD has for me. Somehow I've run off thinking I can do this myself...my own way and guess what, I can't. I want Gods plan for my life, not Brianna's. So whatever that is, I'm ready and willing to do whatever I need to.

"...Everything is possible for one who believes." - Mark 9:23

"...What is impossible with man, is possible with God." Luke 18:27

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to HIS purpose." Romans 8:28

I am praying for a new confidence in myself and confidence in the talents that God has given me. He gave them to me for a reason and it wasn't to sit them aside and let them collect dust. Thanks for letting my get a few things off my chest and thanks so much for reading and loving me:)

Twenty-Five BEFORE Twenty-Six

Hey there!

I know I am a few weeks (or month, plus some) past my 25th birthday, but I wanted a pretty looking list for my motivation;) So here it is friends....This years motivation.

Last year, I chose not to have a goal list, 24 before 25, and I feel like that year was the most least productive year of my life!!! I am beyond happy that this year that wont be the case because I will be tackling this list full force, with lots of smiles, laughs, tears, memories and so much more I cant even imatgine. TWENTY FIVE is going to be a FANTASTIC year!!!

What do you think of my list?
