Don’t Forget to Sparkle!

December 16, 2015 By hautegreyfox

The holiday season is a busy time of year that can leave you feeling tired and crappy.  Preparing food, cooking, cleaning, decorating, shopping etc.  means long hours of preparation.  All of this work can lead to a high level of stress and fatigue, which makes it difficult to sparkle during this festive time of year.  About 10 years ago I did some much need soul searching and realized that my quest for perfection made it difficult to fully enjoy the holiday season.  At that point I made a vow to approach the holiday with a renewed sense of purpose and focus on what truly mattered.   Instead of   having every detail “just so”  I realized it was the laughter, the togetherness, creating new traditions (like a game of spades to dethrone the reigning champs) that everyone enjoys when they visit our home.

So during this holiday season don’t forget the reason for the season,and don’t forget to be fabulous- SPARKLE FOXES  SPARKLE!!

    Such true words you spoke! I did the same a while ago and my soul searching revealed that it’s okay if I’m not perfect or everything I do is not perfect. While seeking perfection I realized I wasn’t happy and all I wanted was to be happy, so I refocused. I quickly realized that my perfection doesn’t validate who I am, so there’s no need to be perfect just be true to who you are. I know that I’ve been blessed to have an amazing life, family and friends which God made possible as he was validating who I am. Laugh~Live~Love when you have those three things there’s no need to seek the impossible “PERFECTION”!!

    Pretty great post. I just stumbled upon your blog and wanted to mention that I’ve truly enjoyed browsing yolur weblog posts.
    In any case I will be subscribing for your rss feed and I’m hoping you write once
    more soon!

    May I simply just say what a comfort to discover an individual who truly understands what they’re
    talking about on the net. You definitely know how to bring an issue to
    light and make it important. More people must read this and
    understand this side of the story. It’s surprising
    you aren’t more popular because you surely have the gift.

    Woah! I’m really digging the template/theme with this site.
    It’s simple, yet effective. Plenty of times it’s quite challenging to have that “perfect balance” between usability and looks.

    I must say you may have done a amazing job using this type
    of. Furthermore, the blog loads super quick to
    me on Chrome. Outstanding Blog!

    I absolutely love your website.. Excellent colors & theme.
    Did you build this excellent site yourself? Please reply back as I’m looking to create my own website and want to learn where you got this from or
    exactly what the theme is named. Cheers!

    Admiring the time and energy you put into your site and detailed information you offer.
    It’s awesome to come across a blog every once in a while that isn’t the same unwanted
    rehashed information. Fantastic read! I’ve bookmarked your site and I’m including your RSS feeds to my Google
    account.

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?
