Let Go Of Guilt

“When guilt rears its ugly head confront it, discuss it and let it go. The past is over. … Forgive yourself and move on.”

~ Bernie S. Siegel

 

Build Your Dream

“Everybody builds a dream in their lifetime. You’re either going to build your dream, or somebody else's. So build your own!"

~ Christopher LaBrec

 

Adversity Is Our Teacher

“Even the most daring and accomplished people have undergone tremendous difficulty. In fact, the more successful they became, the more they attributed their success to the lessons learned during their most difficult times. Adversity is our teacher. When we view adversity as a guide towards greater inner growth, we will then learn to accept the wisdom our soul came into this life to learn.”

~ Barbara Rose

 

 

Letting Go

"Letting go of our suffering is the hardest work we will ever do. It is also the most fruitful. To heal means to meet ourselves in a new way -- in the newness of each moment where all is possible and nothing is limited to the old."

~ Stephen Levine

 

Merry Christmas!

A Little Humor On Life

 

"Inside every older person is a younger person--wondering what the hell happened."

~ Cora Harvey Armstrong

 

Be Rich In Your Heart

"No one can tell whether they are richer or poor by turning to their ledger. It is the heart that makes a person rich. One is rich according to what one is, not according to what one has."

~  Henry Ward Beecher

 

Believe

"It is better to believe than to disbelieve; in so doing you bring everything to the realm of possibility."

~ Albert Einstein

 

Where I've Been

"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."

~ Dr. Seuss 

 

Hello,  Lovelies!  Sorry I've been MIA for a while.  Where have I been?  I've been busy with another project, focusing more on my family and enjoying the holiday season.  As you can imagine, blogging takes up quite a bit of time.  And yes, I did create this sanctuary of mine to satisfy my creative hunger but sometimes what was once fun and effortless begins to feel like work.   In my case, it started to feel like a  job when my kids would ask when I was going to be done with work.  Ummm, wait a minute...I thought you're suppose to get paid when you work!  You may see some ads on my sidebar but believe me, I don't see any checks in my mailbox.   If we depended on blogging for an income we would be homeless right now.  

So, what's next?  Most bloggers would have this completely thought out and bullet point exactly what to expect.  I'm going to be completely honest...I'm not sure.  I do know I enjoy this space and interacting with all of you.  That's what makes it fun.  To me Lilolu is feeling like a teenager in high school.  Wanting to be a part of it all but not quite sure where it fits in.  For now Lilolu will continue the journey but perhaps at a slower pace.  Just until I sort things out.  

Earlier I mentioned I've been busy with another project.  That project is called Stumbled Upon Savings.  It's exactly that...savings I've stumbled upon.  I'm an avid coupon clipper and come across MANY great deals.  I love to share these deals with my friends.  So, I decided to dedicate a site completely to just that.

I've been reading about many wonderful DIY projects and hope to show them to you soon. Upstate NY has been frightfully cold so we've been spending more time indoors.  Which is completely fine since all of the faux pine and festive decor is decking the halls. I love Christmas time and all the music that comes along with it.

What have you been up to?  Are you completely in holiday season mode?  Are there any new crafts or DIY projects you've been busy with?  If so, please share.
