Finding my Mojo - part 1

So the other day I had coffee with some 'friends?'. I say 'friends?' with a question mark, because they said things like...."I bet she has a niece she doesn't even know about in that basement of hers!" And,
"you need to stop analyzing stuff so much. Look at you, you can't just write something down Bee"...."you have to talk about why you are writing each thing down. Just write Bee." Don't hate. They're right. I analyze.

What I did, was bring three composition notebooks and some colored markers and said, "we're going to write out resolutions, I need motivation." Jeez I barely laid the notebooks on the table and they were writing! Having coffee with friends did more for my soul than the resolutions though!

So anyway, I started writing...finally...and explaining.....

1) Focus.

Here's an example of what I do. I just now came in the house and I started downloading pics on my blog. Then I switched to some different pics..then I went in and cleaned a bit of the counter top off, after letting the dogs in...then I remembered I was downloading pics. LORDY! I need to focus. I'd just like to get one thing done, completely, before doing the next. FOCUS DAMMIT!

2)Hang out with nicer people...well that one came to me after I was told by my 'friends', that I probably have an unknown niece in my basement. (In the picture above that is not my hand. It's RJ's hand...telling me what to do!)

3)Follow a healthy eating plan. More on that later...when I decide to do it.

4)Exercise Dammit - well I don't really want to exercise. They told me I had to if I want to lose weight. Bummer. Then her hand started doing what it's doing in the picture above and she said "write it down Bee....exercise." Jeeesh

5) Work on getting a style. I have a mish-mash of stuff and nothing really goes together anymore. They told me I need to get a house first! See Number 2.

6) I want to be more colorful...not so drab. More on this later too.

7) Donate more stuff

8) Take guitar lessons for one year.

9) Make more things to sell...either at the Granny Bee workshops or Etsy...but only after I get a style.

10) Stop the Analysis Paralysis....sigh...I'll try.

11) Follow patterns for crochet and knitting...

Those were some things I wrote down. However...Scribe looked up and said, "Hey there's some resolutions...right there on the wall...we don't need to make our own." And right there on the wall it said,

Recharge

Share good food

Make today better

Take a Risk

Live Each Moment

Look Up

Share Laughter with Friends

Be the change....

And a couple of days before, when I was still looking for my mojo...I got a call from The
Granny Bee....She said, "Cindy...would you be interested in teaching how to make Granny Squares at the Winter Woolen Workshop? Heck yeah! Something to focus on!

So I got out my colorful cotton yarn, Roofus, a dvd, (all things I enjoy)

put it all in my LuCindy bag

and started hooking.

Looking for color patterns anywhere, even in my pjs,

and trying to figure out what would look good together and what wouldn't.

Then today I had lunch with the Granny Bee. She loved my Granny Squares. I was telling her I want a style. I want people to look at me, my house, my stuff, and then when they see something they say....that's Cindy Bee's style.

I just gotta figure it out.

PS - Don't go saying mean things about my 'friends'...I'm teasing them and they know it.

PPS - Scribe and RJ - don't go calling me asking if I'm mad. I'm teasing you and you know it!
