channeling bardot

earlier this year i read a quote by bridgit bardot.
i have to say….it made me giggle. it brought happy
tears to my eyes and it allowed me to say out loud
fudge yeah! but i didn’t say fudge (sorry i don’t mean
to offend, i curse like a sailor. you can thank my  pops
and my grandpa jimmy.) but that is what i said. and i
am here being true and putting these thoughts out there. 

moments in the day often linger in my mind.
others blog posts, maybe a really cool outfit that
i see. someone else’s art and design. pretty much
my very own pinterest in my head. but not just
pretty pictures. more like road maps that include
images, thoughts, quotes and things that grab
a hold of me and don’t let go.

so today is my first channeling bardot. thanks
for stopping by. pull of a chair and make yourself
at home.

. i found this quote via stacy de la rosa, from
  the organic sister…..
 ”Organic Wisdom: Joy is found in gratitude.
 Gratitude is found in acceptance. Acceptance
 is found in stillness. Stillness is found in you.”

. have you heard of judy wise? she is one artist
who just makes me smile. i was a lucky girl
getting to take a few of her classes at squam.
she is just one of those chicks who welcomes
all into her world. like that auntie who is so
freaking awesome that you want to hide in her
backseat and make the long journey home with
her and never leave. yep…..that is judy in a bucket.

 she has plenty going on, her energy amazes me.
 please go check her out. you will be so happy
 that you did. she shines….

. alicia thiede of milagro girl….how i love the window
 into her world she travels the land in a rather
unconventional way and i have to say it makes me drool.
she lives the way she sees fit and i adore that freedom,
that sense of self and her resolution.  one day i am going to sit
with this girl on a beach somewhere for a chat.
but today, i want to share her last post about hair

and what the holds for most women.

so often as i look at my 20 different bottles of
product on my weighted shelf i ponder….what is
 all of this for. the promise of higher beauty, is
it because i am so tied to society and the promise
of belonging.

i have put myself on a product diet. i have been
whittling away at the bottles, given a few to others
and soon will have one shampoo one conditioner
and after that not much else. alicia and her ability to own,
makes me want to do the same. check her story out.
i adore her.

. while on the quest to become the business owner
 that i know i am, i found nona jordan. it was one
 of those moments where i flitted back and forth
 about my future and why was i so bad at this and
 why do i hate spreadsheets…..many why . why . whys.

i had planned on interviewing several coaches
and while talking to nona she asked me one question
and it all centered around on specific thing. as tears
flowed. i knew she was the girl, because she was going
to make me get down to the dirty.

three months of dirty. three months of happy . a-ha .
i can do this moments, nona is not only my coach
she is a big part of my journey. i adore this chick.
she is one who forges ahead in a kick ass you are in
charge of your own path way. i love her for all the
work she did with me.

and what did i gain. i realized that i am doing it.
that my way is simply my way and it is okay to
wake up each day and own the fact that my way
may be different, but it can work. that i deserve
to do what i love most, and to say no. studio
hours are what works best and by putting them
in place i am owning my path. my future.

she is a gentle force people. i highly recommend
that you get to know her. her blog is filled
goodness. something for everyone. i would
bookmark it for a rainy day when you are
finally at that point and ready to fly.

.    .    .    .    .     .    .    .    .    .    .    .    .    .    .

channeling bardot: ie. blog ramblings that pertain to
my life as i see it. moving through my own journey.
using those a-ha moments of clarity to continue
on my quest, allowing my inner self – true self to
shine. and fyi. most days i am a girl just trying
to be me.

“I’m a girl from a good family who was very well
brought up. One day I turned my back on it all
and became a bohemian.”
~Brigitte Bardot
