Been spending some quality time with my girl Lana

Been spending some quality time with my girl Lana lately (a couch like this deserves a name and since she’s blue velvet...) 🥰 Since the Outlander season ended two weeks ago, I have already binged:
▪️Dead to Me season 2 ▪️Hollywood (also on Netflix) ▪️The Little Drummer Girl (just as good as I’ve heard)
and now I am almost finished with both ▪️A Discovery of Witches and ▪️Sweet Magnolias. .
.
But what’s next?! Oh yeah, “Grant” starts tomorrow on History (an ancestor on my dad’s side!) 🙋🏼‍♀️ Okay, after that! Send your recs my way cuz we’re still on lockdown over here! 🙏🏼🌿💙

Yesterday, I participated in @yoga_girl’s beauti

Yesterday, I participated in @yoga_girl’s beautiful New Moon ceremony, and she read an excerpt from @foreverconscious astrology that particularly resonated with me. .
.
“Think of the New Moon like a seed that has been planted. The seed is programmed with a certain code but there it lies, buried in the dark soil, uncertain of what’s to come or what it will turn out to be.
.
This is a time of magic, of darkness – not the darkness that keeps you up at night, but the darkness of transformation, of unknowing.
.
There is magic in the unknowing. There is magic in being that seed that is waiting to sprout.” ✨

The day before I had changed our letter board to this fitting Beatles quote for many reasons. I’m trying to manifest the literal sun, as to give our garden (and psyches) a break from all of this rain, as well as the metaphorical meaning of ‘the light at the end of the tunnel.’ I believe many are starting to see that light, as quarantine begins to come to an end for some. For me, I have been dreading the end of quarantine because it means I would have to go back to a job I don’t love. Pretty sad, I know. Until I remembered that… I don’t. I do not have to do anything that does not feed my soul, or grow my career. I will continue to persevere and pursue my passion. I am in control. I am the seed, and I will have faith in the darkness of transformation. 🙏🏼🌱💙 #youcannotgoback

Well at least the garden is loving all of this rai

Well at least the garden is loving all of this rain from Tropical Storm Arthur! Tomatoes are standing tall, the herb babies are already growing, and the bok choi and lettuces are lookin soo good. 👏🏼🥬🍅🌱 Though from now on I’m just going to start referring to the entire yard as “the garden” like English people do. They know how to make everything sound more interesting. Pinkies up, y’all. Hope you’re having a nice Monday! ☕️

P.S. who can spot the enormous basket of dog toys in here? Only I would keep our dogs’ toys in an antique basket. 😂

Not gunna lie... was kind of a rough week (like, more so than usual lately.) Hence the MIA-ness. Wine, my porch, funny YouTube videos and disco music have been keeping me company.🍷🎶 For decades, I have browsed homesites such as Zillow and the like just for fun (it used to be the local real estate mags.😜) I love looking at houses; always have, always will, and a big reason why I almost went into real estate years ago. It just sucks when you find one you really like, and of course have to go tour it to torture yourself even more. 🤷🏼‍♀️ We have heard from multiple people that houses are still being bought during this time, and that NC has wonderful programs for first-time buyers, so we though maybe we’d give it a go. See where we’re at, what ballpark we’re in, etc. Turns out we’re in the shack in the middle of nowhere neighborhood. Like, not even close to what it costs to buy a home in Asheville. No wonder so many people here just rent forever. Sigh. .
.
Of course you try not to beat yourself up, but for days I know we were both doing it silently. “Maybe I’d be a homeowner by now if I hadn’t...” rabbit holes. In the end, we’ll just have to be patient. Our business is growing, and so are our savings (finally). I will never regret moving to Austin and then Asheville in my late twenties (I wouldn’t be with Sal if I hadn’t) nor does he regret starting a business at 31, or following around STS9 all those years before that. We know how fortunate we are, and are grateful to have a roof over our heads, in an amazing city- as expensive as it may be. What are you gunna do. You live, you learn... and like Steve Jobs once said, “The journey is the reward.” 🙏🏼 #entrepreneurlife

Just had a wonderful yoga practice right here before the start of my work day. 📿 Morning ritual is so important for me... calming music playing, Nag Champa burning, windows open, rolling out my mat. Oh and coffee. ☕️ What are some of your favorite rituals that help you start/ end your day? ✨🙏🏼

Is there a wall or room in your home that is just sort of “missing” something? Are you hesitant to go all out and paint the entire space? Luckily, you don’t have to paint an entire room for it to make a big impact. Heck, you don’t even have to use paint at all! .
.
Up on the blog this morning, some creative ways for adding a pop of color without the commitment. Perfect for those renting, flirting with the idea of adding more color, or anyone stuck inside with some leftover paint right now. All simple one-day projects; great for the weekend! Link in bio! 🌿🔨🎨 .

If quarantine has a mascot, I’m pretty sure it’s sourdough bread. 😂 (Sorry, didn’t watch Tiger King 🙅🏼‍♀️) After days of reading and watching videos, and another two days between the prepping and baking process, we have success! My first loaf of sourdough from our starter “Cheryl” courtesy of our friends @classy513 and @wthomps4! 🍞 This is my first experience with baking bread of any kind, and well, now I’m hooked. Hoping to do a blog post with the super traditional recipe I used, as well as a few tips and tricks in a few weeks! Now somebody pass me the olive oil! 😋 #inthekitchenwithliz
