Beautifuuly Uncertain - Pinterest , Trust, and Closing a Chapter

Day 15: World’s Largest Vision Board

PINTEREST - need I say more..

Because that’s what life is about: Capturing the moment. Grabbing hold of it and refusing to let it slip from your grasp simply because you’re tired or inconvenienced or in a hurry. ~Beautiful Uncertainty
Day 20: Trust without Borders
Today’s challenge is very simple.
Say this prayer…and leave the rest to God.

Day 21: Close a Chapter
Today's challenge was to close a chapter. And that's what I did. I have accepted the fact that things will never be like I want them to be and it's time to move on. 

For every chapter that ends…another begins. ~Beautiful Uncertainty

Beautifully Uncertain - Prayers and God Winks



Day 26: THIS PRAYER WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE
Day 26 was quite simple…sort of..
I was instructed to say this prayer over all relationships and just sit back and let God to the rest.

The prayer - I can say.. sitting back, now THAT is the hard part.

Day 27: God Wink
Todays goal was to be bold with God and ask Him for a God Wink. So I did.. and I waited and waited.. and waited.. and just when I was about to give up - He came to me! In a fortune cookie, no less..





Day 29: Send a Letter to Your Future Self

Today's challenge was to visit FutureMe.org and write your future self a letter, to be delivered at any time in the future in which you choose (I chose a year from today) I wrote my hopes and goals and plans for the future and I sent it off. A year from now Future Me and Past Me will collide and compare notes. I am hoping that a year from now, things will be different, personally and professionally. I hope that on this day, one year from now, I will be reading that letter to myself and admiring just how far I have come. In the off chance that I haven't and im in the EXACT same place I am now.. I have instructed myself to kick my own ass!


Day 30: What Does THIS Woman Want?

The instructions for today were to sit down and write out the qualities that you’re looking for in your future husband. Since that's not AT ALL what this is about I had initially thought to skip it all together but then I decided not to.. I don't know if its because I feel as if though something is missing in my life or it just seemed like a fun thing to do, but I did it.
We were told to list as many qualities as we wanted and to be as specific as possible.

So here goes.. I want someone who puts me first.. above all else.. who WANTS to be with me.. who NEEDS to be with me. THAT'S IT!


That's not too hard is it?

Day 16: Beautifully Uncertain, A Little Step Toward Your Big Dream

Day 16: A Little Step Toward Your Big Dream
Todays goal was about taking a small step towards a big Dream. It's hard to have concrete goals when you really don't know what you want to do.. I DO know I want to be out of debt, I know I want to travel the world, and I know I love to be around people.. so I decided to take a huge leap of faith and sign up to be a Stella and Dot Stylist.

For one, I LOVE their jewelry, I believe every single product is superior to all others, and I get discounts! What's not to love?

So I used my last $200 and made the investment.


Because TINY steps taken in faith are better than allowing fear and doubt and hesitation keep you stuck. And even the tiniest steps, taken faithfully, will eventually get you to your destination. ~Beautiful Uncertainty

Beautifully Uncertain - Life Everlasting

Day 5 Vision Board

Creating a vision board.. in a way, this post in my vision board.. it's all I have wanted to do for some time now.. put my words down.. write, travel, and then write about my travels..

Days 6 - A Date with God &  Day7 are about God and closure.. for me , those two came hand in hand. My grandmother passed away this week and I have never felt closure or HIS presence than I have these last few days.

While I have a ton of regrets, I also have hope.. Hope that I will get to see her again, hope that I have made her proud, and hope that there is life everlasting..

RIP Grandma..

Beautifully Uncertain - One Year, One Goal

Day 4 One Year, One Goal

While there are many things I want to accomplish this year, like finally tackling that back room that has been bothering me for years, I am instructed to pick one goal, write it down, share it with the world, and don't stop working till I accomplish it..

So that's what I am doing..

My ONE goal for 2016 is to pay off ALL of my credit cards.. every single one.. and then throw a big ass party.. which I will pay for in cash..

So here is the plan... I have taken all of my credit card bills, listed them all on a spreadsheet with balance, APR, and min payment, then arranged them in order by highest APR.

The one with the highest gets paid off first, all the others get the minimum payment. When the first one is paid off, you apply that monthly amount to the second card and pay all of that until it is paid off. Once that card is paid, you take the money from both of the first two cards and apply it to the payment of the third card.. get it.. it's called the snowball effect.. fingers crossed it works..

Beautifully Uncertain

I came across a blog the other day that really caught my eye. The entire page is geared towards single women, which I am not, but I still managed to relate to so much of it. So much so that I decided to try their 31 day Challenge. Check out the page here..

I am already three weeks behind so I need to do some MAJOR catching up.. details of week one can be found here..

Day 1 - Quite Reflection

How I wish I had an entire day to dedicate to this but it's just not possible.. Lately, I feel as if there is always someone or something that requires some part of my attention. I did, however, take a drive to my moms.. I turned up the radio and sang along and shut everything else out.. (I may have missed the quite part).  It wasn't a long drive but it helped me clear my mind.. even if it was just for a few minutes..

I hope I can remember to do this daily.. odds are slim..

Dr. Seuss

Tomorrow, my son leaves for anther semester of college. A part of me is sad. I know the house will feel different without him there. But another part of me is happy, too. Happy that he gets to experience this. Happy that he is one year closer to finishing. Happy that he is one year closer to being on his own (why lie?)
It seems that everything you need to know about life you can learn from The Doctor - Dr. Seuss, that is.



Here’s a nice breakdown of what it takes to get places.. "The BRAINS in your head give your body the DIRECTIONS it needs to take you where you want to go. You just have to know where it is you want to go. DETERMINING your destination is PRIORITY ONE. What the brain can dream up, the body can fulfill as long as there is a strong DETERMINATION  and a clear vision of what it is that is wanted. The great part is that this is all up to you, you have plenty of choices, and there are countless directions that you can head."


Here's to hoping he has the vision, determination, and the brains to make it happen.. in two years or less.
