LIFE CHALLENGE

This challenge is for everyone.

Whether you are a working man/woman, someone who sits in desk for 9- 12 hours a day, a stay at home individual, or a student- This challenge is simple and easy- Go outside for 15 minutes and walk, run, bike, skip, anything- just do something.

If you are anything like me or have any sort of schedule that I have on a day to day basis, then you struggle with having time on your side.  The dreadful thoughts of "Do I have Time to do...?"  whatever it may be, because life comes at you full force, to be general, anything.  I simply do not have time to go to the gym and cook everyday, catch up on my TV shows, etc.  There are not enough hours in a day- and if I did find time- I would find myself unemployed just to get everything done.

This "challenge" is more about adding something to your life style- making it part of your routine and something that is very accommodating to anyone's schedule.  For instance- After work; to avoid Dallas traffic, I walk/run along the Katy Trail to kill time and to also get some exercise.  I find myself more at ease when I get home and just Happy!  (Who actually enjoys sitting in traffic?)   Or even if you have some downtime at work- waiting for that email or even have exhaust your lunch hour with the internet- walk around the block- smell the fresh air.

By any means I am not a health nut, but I have noticed improvement in my life and my happiness with just taking time to just breathe a little outside.

Let me know what activities you do on a daily basis!

One Year Back in Texas

PicMonkey Collage copy  

It was one year ago today when  Michael and I made our transition back to our hometown, Dallas.  Leaving my "Dream City of Chicago" to be closer to family and seeking opportunities to further my career was challenging but one of the best decisions we have made. I have to say that one of the best parts of being back is exploring your hometown a with a different eye and reconnecting with friends that I have not seen in over 4 years.

I got married, started a new job and cannot wait to see what this young city has in store for me through the upcoming years.

programs

 

About this time last year, I was frantically sending out last minute invitations, printing and designing programs for my wedding.  I have to say this was probably my favorite part of the planning process- after cake tasting.

Above are samples of what I photographed, designed, printed, and cut.  Note:  Trying to photograph by yourself with and SLR and tripod is a challenge :)

 

Let me know what you think!
