If you're offended, maybe you need a hobby.


I'm proud of my Facebook feed.

When I do my morning scroll, it makes me feel good.

I see affirmations, positive choices, spiritual development, 
and lots of love.

However, sometimes some evil makes it through.
Evil as in "I'm so offended by "x".

Huh?

From the shape of brake lights on a school bus to kids getting suspended for imagination to witty commercial ads being pulled -
the sheeple are offended.

Good golly.

Jumping on the next upset, they rally together creating a negative riff that wastes a hell of a lot of energy.

It almost seems like this is their pastime.

What a sad existence.

Get a real hobby.

Offended by something?

I got a few thoughts. 

One - look away and forget about it. 
You are wasting your energy being so upset.

Two - can't let it go? 
Paint it out. Write it out. Walk it out. Talk it out.
Make something positive from your negative feelings.

Three - think it's really that bad? 
Then do something good. Flip the energy. 
Replace the negativity by doing a good deed. 
Pay it forward. Do something nice! Hate creates more hate. 
You have the power to stop the madness.

Four - look within. 
Why are you so offended? Were you bullied as a child? 
Do you just need a hug? What is really going on with you? 
If you can't figure it out on your own, get professional help.

Stop creating the ripple effect of wasted energy.

Move on.

Be happy.

Get a sense of humor. 

Smile.

Laugh.

Dance.

Create positive vibes!

Put good in the world.

Pay It Forward Gift Delivery

Steampunk Circle of Life Necklace 

So - it's been an entire year. 
A whole year since the fabulous Erin Keane posted her 
Pay It Forward blog of goodness. 

I love creating. 
I love sending packages to folks.
I signed up eagerly wanting to participate. 

Well - Erin came through immediately.
I met her at Malaprop's and she gave me the best gift with 
my 2013 word of the year, Transformation.

As for me - um- I got nothing. 
I don't know what happened. 
I didn't have a clue what to create for 
Stacie Florer that "won" my Pay It Forward.

It was on my to-do list.
I didn't have a deadline. 
 And it never got done.

This was part of my learning for 2013.

The 2 big lessons I learned last year -
1 - Don't take on too many projects at once.
2 - I need deadlines.

I've never met her in person.
She told me she likes earthy things and community.

I wanted to give her something unique.

I made her what I call 
"The Steampunk Circle of Life" necklace.
Steampunk Circle of Life Necklace 

I used the circle, representing community.
I used shades of brown, copper, and gold for the Earth. 


Steampunk Circle of Life Necklace 
In December, I am super happy to say I finally 
sent my Pay It Forward gift to
I also sent her a handmade candle. 
I wanted to make it super special since I was a year late!
  
I was so happy to get this message from her - 

"I received it and love it!! The necklace is beautiful...so much thought!! You nailed my style too!! And the candle is wonderfully rustic and smells lovely...thank you so much...it is a great treat for me this Christmas season!!" ~Stacie Florer

 People love getting packages in the mail.
Especially handmade!

(Again, lesson noted on deadlines. 
Hence, this year's word is SIMPLIFY.)
