Hi Liz!
I just wanted to share with you how you have inspired me to get in touch with who I really am. I am and have always been a hippie chick at heart but was so caught up in trying to be who and what I thought my family thought I should be that I lost myself for a while. Thank you! :o) This June 25th I celebrate 3 years of being Meth free. I can actually say today that I love ME and who I am! Part of my healing process was re-tapping into my creative side. I bought myself a DIY jewelry kit and away I went. I started my online business last month making jewelry and tie dye items. One day I decided to make my own Happiness Jar made with an apple cider jug (lol, I always have to be a little different). I love the whole idea with the HAPPINESS JARS. After I made my Happiness Jug :o) I was hooked, my creativity came bursting out of me. My thought is that lots of people love the idea they just either don't have time or they feel that they aren't creative enough. So I have started making Happiness Hippie Jars for writing their happy moments down :o) The pic I added is a custom order that I made for my niece. Thank you so much for your inspiration! Peace, Love & HUGS! Roxy aka….NaNe
FEED MY EARS, STRENGTHEN MY HEART…? Hey everyone, I’m looking for suggestions…
FEED MY EARS, STRENGTHEN MY HEART…?
Hey everyone, I'm looking for suggestions to update my exercise playlists. I've been making a real effort this year to get my heart pumping every day (I had a "Come To Jesus" moment with a fitness expert last year who broke it down for me: "It's simple. If you want to live a long and healthy life, get your cardiovascular system in shape. Period.")
So I've been running, jumping, dancing around…and it helps, of course, to listen to music.
But I need some new stuff.
How many more times can I get inspired to run that extra mile by panting and singing along, off-key, to "SexyBack"?
Not that many more times.
So give me some new suggestions, everyone!
Please know, by the way, as you offer up your playlists, that I have no shame, musically-speaking.
Am I too old for Katy and Carley and Taylor and Beyoncé and Rihanna and Nicki? Yes. Do I like them, anyhow? Yes. I sort of love them.
Am I too proud to run down the street with my arms pumping in the air because I'm listening to some corny-ass classic rock like "Born to Run", or "Don't Wanna Miss a Thing"? No…no, I am not too proud for that. I have been seen doing that. Hopefully, I have not been photographed doing that, but I do it.
Am I too Caucasian and middle-aged and female to enjoy the likes of Driicky Graham or Chance the Rapper or Curtis James Jackson III (better known as 50 Cent)? Yes, absolutely. But I listen to that shit anyhow, and I also sing along to it (which is why nobody will exercise with me in public).
So gimme what you got here, folks! Cast a wide net!
And let's get those hearts beating, everyone! 20 minutes a day! Do it! Life is such an interesting affair, after all — let's all stay healthy so we can stick around and watch it unfold for as long as we can…
Work it. Own it. Live it.
