Are you using your outdoor space?

April 27, 2020 By hautegreyfox

Y’all, I’m so grateful for the fresh air. Excluding the extra burst of pollen, stepping outside has been so valuable and refreshing. Did I mention I’ve had more time with my quarantine bae? Most recently, we grabbed our masks and gloves, practiced some serious social distancing, and went on a day date.

By the time we returned home, I was ready to plan for our dinner outside. Whether it’s your balcony, backyard, or front porch, finding ways to enjoy a meal outside is one more opportunity to switch things up during this new normal.

I know, I know. Things are a little bit different right now, but I just consider this moment as an opportunity to plan for the future. One day, we will have another gathering at our home. One day, friends and family will sit outside and share a meal.

For now, use what you have, love your company, and remain hopeful.

Get ready with lighting

Prepare in advance for your outdoor evening by deciding on your lighting. When the sun sets, how can you keep the party going? Lanterns with a soft glow are a favorite for me. Everyone looks so fabulous surrounded by this light. If you don’t have lanterns, consider other outdoor lighting options like flameless candles. Safety first.

Set your table

Take your time to set your table. No need to buy anything new. Which dishes would you use to host your family and friends? Treat yourself or your family to a great meal. Also, if you haven’t used a set of dishes for a while, bring them out. Why not?

Go with fabulous food and mocktails

Whether you’ve prepared food on the grill or in the house, a delicious meal is a win for everyone. There is something so comforting about that bowl of mac and cheese, or that signature dessert. I love to include a few mocktails, too. Go on a hunt for your favorite glasses, and set the mood.

We’ve been practicing social distancing for a while now. Each day, I’m trying to take advantage of every piece of our home. This includes the backyard. I’ve got my patio set, my favorite dishes, and my fun mocktail glasses. I’ve got my quarantine bae. I’ve got delicious food.

Are there any outdoor spaces you can explore?

What does New Year’s Day mean to me? No resolu What does New Year’s Day mean to me?
 
No resolutions.
 
I’ve been on that rollercoaster before, and it never left me feeling my best. Instead, I dream big — and I take it one day at a time. I create a vision board with affirmations, motivational reminders, and more. 
 
I don’t have to accomplish every goal in 2023. I just have to believe my goals are never too big to achieve. 
 
How do you approach the new year?

Wednesday Words of Wisdom - FIND YOUR FIRE #Find Wednesday Words of Wisdom - FIND YOUR FIRE

#Find your fire and do whatever it is that wakes you up, whatever it is that makes you feel alive.  Do what inspires you, what moves you, what makes your heart race. Do the things that ignite passion into your bones.  Chase your dreams, follow your heart, capture the moments that take your breath away.  Do not settle for mediocrity, you have a fire in your soul and a burning in your heart.  Do not let fear, convenience or comfort put out those flames.  Hold onto what lights them with your light.  You are capable and deserving of magic, of love, of the extraordinary-you just have to believe it.  Discover what sets a spark in you, follow the flames and light a fire so big that nothing can extinguish it - there is enough fire inside you to burn brighter than the sun.”

2022 is winding down, and I can summarize the year 2022 is winding down, and I can summarize the year with one statement:
 
I was here. 
 
This year, I spent less time scrolling — and more time seeing the beauty before me. I traveled more, spent time with family, and checked some things off my to-do list. Each of these moments brought me tremendous joy. 
 
Without a doubt, 2022 was the best year of my life. Something about my 60th birthday brought me back to the most essential pieces of my identity.
 
I’m excited for 2023. Are you?
