Branding

I have always been a huge fan of branding. Here is a great example, and its in my hometown of Seattle.

Hello All.

Its been a long time, and in that I apologize.
Has been quite an interesting month. I am finding myself in that wedge where I have so many dreams, wants, desires, but my feet wont seem to budge, and I am unsure how to make them.
I am doing marketing/Social media on the side for a friends start up company while I look for better employment. And take time to truly understand what happiness means and what I "want."
Sometimes I find myself thinking and of so many things, and filling my day packed that I forget to work on those important aspect that help me to grow and move forward. What motivates you? How do you turn dreams into reality? are questions that have been plaguing me for sometime now.
I took a much needed weeks vacation to Irvine, Ca to visit some friends in search for relaxation, and refreshment.
But came home, more perplexed and confused on what steps to move forward in my life.
I am truly blessed where I am, and thankful for all I have and been through the past couple years, solely just looking to make new moves and life changes.
Thanks for listening! <3

I love PINTEREST
I have been search and webbing along all day and then I looked at the clock and few hours have gone by.
Its a great source in which you can keep track of where photos are coming from. I just really want an account. But put in my email to be on the list. What a great idea and concept.
A great distraction from a normal work day.

Happy New Years!!

This past year has been quite a year.

I moved to working for SBux, which was quite a company to work for, probably one of the worst experiences I have had. So I decided to move on, and now adventuring to starting something I am finally passionate about.
Being diagnosed with MS
& Learning to be established again in who I am.
All in all I'm excited to see what this year entails!

What are your new years goals?

How do you get inspired to do what your most passionate about?

Here are some fall fashion crushes I thought to share:

I love love love designer EmersonMade. Her designs are clean, and classy, and girly/or manly. Her blog is so cute! I was looking around so much on the site, I had a dream last night I met her at anthro and we had coffee! Haha!

Almost weekend time!

Life has been crazy. Which has made me retreat from here. Which is usually the one thing that keeps me sane.
I have had some major bumps recently. Trying to get everything back in order.
For now, I decided to finally get my tattoo....

2010-07-09T12:49:00.002-04:00

I am so sorry for the lack of posts.... I was involved in a huge car accident a week ago and have been trying to catch up on in life, and deal with everything.
At a moment when everything seemed like it was coming together
has suddenly came crashing down.

Plus it is a sauna in Seattle! Summer hit like a million bricks!

I have always been a dog person. Walk the dog, have the dog jump in the back of the car..go on hikes, a buddy in life. But as I have realized I dont live a life style as a single lady, with a dog, to be able to properly take care of him. why my pup is at my fathers house. But have been thinking about a cat. Something to love, be loved by, and sleep on my living room chair.

I have been offered a new position at Starbucks as a store manager with goals of transferring to corporate.
It will be very sad to leave the position I am at, but will be a much better transition, and give me time to peruse the passions I love.

Lately this is all I want to do. Curl up and just read a book, sleep, and relax.
The weather has been so crazy here in seattle with it being sunny and warm to the next hour raining and chilly. Reminds me of the east coast.
Trying to enjoy the time I have to be alone, and learn more about myself- my dreams and what I want in life.
Not a facade that we can often slip into and pretend to everyone we work with and meet that we are doing just danddy. I have been blessed.
One year ago I was left without almost anything but a suitcase. And now I have a new apartment, that is decorated and painted. A car. A job. Family and Friends & my health.
I am blessed.
But it does not neglect the fact that pain is still there.

Here are some things I have enjoyed these weeks:

The Bedlam of Beefy's post on starting new & fresh

A good heardy breakfast

This fridge is amazing: never forget what you need to do or where you need to go

This is such a heartbreaking love story

Such pretty feather earrings

Have a great day!! Xoxox.

Have you ever in your life just pushed everyone out of your life & did'nt really know why?

I woke up Sunday morning feeling unsettled inside and since have just felt almost mute.

I don't know what it is.

I told everyone I need a little space.

Sometimes you just don't want to hear everyone's opions....you just wan to breath. And keep walking.

I hope everyone's day is going wonderful.

What have you been thinking about recently?

Growing up. I was always one of those kids that wanted to do and be everything.
I majored in multiple things, wanted to be everything from
a FBI agent, to a lawyer, to a artist, wedding photographer.....
and the list goes on
I just have never been able to take the risk
and set goals
and do something
I have really wanted to do. As well as I have always blamed ignorance on
my ambitions.
I have always been an ambitious person & work really hard at
what I do
but when it comes to taking the plunge and doing something I have always drempt of doing...
I just cant do it.
Ive started to set some yearly goals.
Pay off some bills, Sell my jeep, purchase a newer car....
and then I come to my job.
I have one side of me that loves law, and politics, and everything I majored in. Very business like. But then my creative side takes over and being raised in an entrepreneur world I have always thought that is just what you do. Work for yourself.
So I am creating a business plan.
To open a coffee/Flower shop on the Eastside.
My only downfall is patients. I have a hard time waiting, I want everything
to happen
now.

We will see.

What keeps you focused?
How do you approach your goals/dreams?
How do you know what is real and just a fantasy ?
Any Advice?

Thanks Loves.......

Its a rainy day in Seattle today, and so I am spending the morning on my new couch watching "Love Happens" with Jennifer Aniston which is "based" in Seattle
It has been some rough days recently.
But today I woke up feeling like... I have a right to change this.
I have a right to wake up and feel happy. and to feel refreshed and
Not take life so
so
seriously.

I have so many blessings in my life. & its not about all the things I have or want...but just to enjoy each day.

Happy St. Paddy's day.

"Patrick's Day is celebrated on March 17, his religious feast day and the anniversary of his death in the fifth century. The Irish have observed this day as a religious holiday for over a thousand years. On St. Patrick's Day, which falls during the Christian season of Lent, Irish families would traditionally attend church in the morning and celebrate in the afternoon. Lenten prohibitions against the consumption of meat were waived and people would dance, drink and feast—on the traditional meal of Irish bacon and cabbage. " Via Here

being alone is always an interesting time.
I recently moved into my 'own place'
its been really the first time I have ever been on my own
I have always lived with people, family, friend, or my (ex) husband

This week I moved into a one bed room
alone
Since our D I have had to pick up and reestablish who I am
what I am
Who I want to be
Where I have been and where I want to go
what gifts have I been given
what skills so I posses
what makes me
me

Up until now there has always been someone
there
but now, I am in a new area of the city in which I never lived
alone
Dont take me wrong- my friends and loved ones are close...
but there is no one just across the drive way next to me
or in the next room
or in the same bed

Its a huge change that I realize I can do
but it takes a lot to lay here and wake up and know that
everything
will be
okay.

everyone has to pick up and start a new
that's reality
of the situation I have been handed
I am not bitching.
I am not saying I cant do it
at times I feel like I might fail
and some areas I might
But for now.... I soak in the tears
the thoughts of feeling lonely
and know
that life will keep going
and I will
be
okay.

2010-03-08T11:43:00.001-05:00

Good Morning!! ...and Happy Monday.
I have been going through these spits of good posts and not posting and I am so sorry....
so I will come back later with some good stuff.
I have been in the process to moving on up to the east side

Xoxo

2010-02-18T02:07:00.002-05:00

Change.

I'm not to good with it.

I always get excited for new things to occur, but when they actually do, I get freaked out & think I have made a bad choice.

This weekend I am moving from the westside (Greenlake-Seattle, Wa) to the eastside (Kirkland, Wa) It was quick. It was rash, but it feels good & scary at the same time. Its the first time I will be really alone after the big separation & it makes me excited but so nervous.

will post tomorrow! promise!

Happy 2010! Crazy how it is already 10 years after 2000. When Y2K was the next big thing & the fear of everything ending. But we made it, and its a new year.
This past year has not been the greatest.
J & and I started off packing up and moving out from Seattle to Washington DC. A new life, a new beginning turned a few months later in to heartbreak and a divorce to come.
Something that I would not choose and do not desire. I have had some of the saddest days Ive know recently. To be stripped and abandoned from everything Ive know for the past five years. Back in a city where I dont really want to be, with the suite case I came out here with.
Starting to get back on my feet though- is a process that I humbly have to look in the eye and know that things will be okay.
I do pray this year is a smoother ride to come, I have lots of things to be thankful for.

But, this year will be better at blogging & starting over with the drive of the passionate things I love!

So stay tuned! I will be back! I also plan on opening my ESTY shop again.

Thank you for letting me be real. and honest.

Have a great weekend! My work week begins today.

Even though I am fine with leggings. odd.
Anyone have a good brand to recommend?
whats your skinny on the skinnys? :)

Love love looking at their styles : but a warning it becomes addictive as you move from profile to profile exploring the lookbooks.

I heart fall because of yummy soups, pumpkin, comfort pastas, boots, and the unbeatable feeling of going to the local coffee shop, grabbing your favorite, and walking around this lake this the leaves falling and the crisp air! [in which i live across the st]

2009-09-28T16:02:00.003-04:00

Have you guys seem Kim Kardasian's company ShoeDazzle.
You take a short survey, a "stylist" picks based on your answers what shoes would best
fit your style
then you pay $39 a month and get one pair of shoes per month!
you are not charged unless you pick your first pair of shoes. So it was kind of fun to go through
and at least see what shoes there were to pick through!
An interesting concept!

" Her Anglo-German mother and Cuban-American father clearly raised her to be modest--and she is--almost to a fault.

You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She’s not perfect - you aren’t either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break - her heart. So don’t hurt her, don’t change her, don’t analyze and don’t expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she’s not there." -Bob Marley

For the last time I am. sorry. for being so. absent.
But I am here again. For sure.

Starting over after 6 years bonded together. is rough. describable.
being left with nothing and having to start from ground up.
Is either the worst day of your life, or the a new beginning.

I have found and realized a lot in my life. about. myself.

I am managing a restaurant again, blogging, socializing and moving forward. whatever. that may. look like.

Its great to see you again. Lets get back to business!

She is so amazing. one of those ladies I would l

men, anybody who is in a place that's not their strongest
and who is ready to push forward."

when you have been hurt by the ones that say they love you
the most
, it takes time to rebuild that trust
but when you are the one
who hurts someone
you would do everything and anything to
make it better
but sometimes you just wish you could wake up
and everything
better again
in a moment
but unforchutley life isn't that simple
you put effort, work hard and make it work
do the best you can
but sometimes you want it so bad
your almost mentally blocked on what to do
how to prove to someone you love them so
much and am
so very sorry.
especially when you are
3,000 miles away.
you have to find creative ways to express that
trust again
that love
that sorrow.
what would you do to regain trust, to show that person you love them so much and would climb to the end of the earth for them and would never hurt them every again?

I am very much enjoying the cool whether that Seattle
is having right now
I prefer 69 vs 102
any day
last night my good friends
gave me a
teacup chihuahua puppy [8weeks old] for
my cumple anos which is on the 18th
his name is hueso
which translated in engish from Spanish
means bones
becasue he so tiny and boney
Im nervous-I didn't really "want" a puppy or dog
but it was very nice and I know they just wanted me not to feel so
alone.

Anything planned for the weekend?
Hope all is well!

I wish my bed room looked this cute, because that where I will be all weekend.
I have such a bad cold-in this heat wave? how does that happen?
This week will be better with posts as I finally have internet at the place
I am staying at.
Thanks for being so supportive through this rough time.

Have a great rest of your weekend!

I heart this wedding!

Things have been very rough these last couple weeks. I have been forced non the less to stay in Seattle, and seek council while J stays in DC. who knows whether we will be together again. Only time & Jesus can tell..

With a not so sure desirable but good paying job offer & the tug of war what to do in life racking my brain day & night

leaves me unable to function

As you all know I have been on a "better job" hunt, and have been offered a
semi-desirable job
so on my platter I have two options

A. stay at the service job I have now, work hard, and study hard to pursue
something my little hearts desires with the love & support of J
& get weekends off (becasue that's the only time we see each other practically)

or

B. Have more pay, a more stable admin job-less service-but possibly sacrifice the time
with my family I
have been able to have the last couple months
for the first time in my life

*BUT* is it rude to ask this job offer
for weekends off, that's the only way I will take it even though they said I would probably
have to work weekends at the interview?
is it okay to negotiate?
maybe every other ?
I work hard, and am not lazy
but
my family is a HUGE priority and don't want to miss the
those precious growing times

ANY ADVICE WOULD BE GREATLY GREATLY APPRECIATED!
*Thanks*

Stewart+Brown are lovely. I adore this little linen cover with a basic graphic T!
