My Divine Life

DIY Peeps Welcome Sign   I took one of the old pallet boards I have and painted the whole thing white.  Then I fold a piece of paper in half and then in half again, drew the peeps shape I wanted and then cut it out (That way everything is symmetrical!)  If you don't want to do that I scanned my template into the computer, You can adjust the size accordingly as you print if you'd like it bigger but mine is a little under half the size of an 8.5x 11 piece of paper.     Then I traced out three peeps on the board.  Then I got to painting!  I started at the top outlining my peep and worked my way down.  I did two coats on the peeps and then got to work on. the lettering.  I am not great at lettering so I just winged it. I wrote out the spacing I wanted and painted over it, doing about 3 coats of paint.  I put a clear coat over it so If I choose to I can put it outside too....

I had an epiphany today, I always start my day with music or a podcast (if you haven’t listened to Jocko, do it now!).  Today I decided to switch it up and listen to praise music and oh my goodness it makes such a difference on your outlook (I already knew this, but clearly I forgot🤷‍♀️).  I’ll be honest, I’ve been living in fear. I mean, haven’t we all? But for someone with an autoimmune disease or someone close to them it’s a very scary time! And I’ve been letting that consume me and in turn it takes a toll on my health (stress/anxiety is a trigger for Crohns flares, even though I’m already in one, it makes it worse).  Well like I said, I had an epiphany...I have lived through a life and death situation and I wasn’t scared then, ok I was a little...but nothing like now and at that time I truly was facing death,  And in the midst of fear And the unknown I had faith.  Not just paranoid about getting sick, And I realized, I’m not trusting God, which honestl...

Ok I'll admit it, I am totally one of those nostalgic sentimental people. I love looking back through old pictures!  I thought it would be fun to do a little look back at the last decade with you guys and share a few photos from each year.  So...we'll dive right in. I don't remember much about this picture, other than I had just gotten my hair done and had to get a picture of course😉. We were young, living with Joe's mom, and I was in beauty school.  My class from Aveda💖 I'm thankful I got to go through school with these girls, we all had a lot of fun together! Enjoying the big country bash (back when it was good and fun!). Celebrating my birthday with my class. Mariza (we were so close in beauty school!) was so sweet and brought in an ice cream cake for me.  I had a couple monumental occasions that year, We'll get to the second in a moment. but this one was pretty spectacular!
