About Me
- Kristen Martini
- Welcome to my little blog. Its where I share snippets of my life, Take II. The one where I left my nice but totally wrong for me husband, my big house in suburbia and too much stuff. This is the life where I try and figure out what it means to be true to me. Where I strive to build an awesome relationship with my kids. Where i learn to live a kinder, gentler, more sustainable life. A simpler, more fulfilling life, while trying to keep the stuff to a minimum.
It all makes so much sense, doesn't it? Live simply, deeply, passionately.
ReplyDeleteSo many of us live our lives in the "reaction" mode. We simply react from each situation, person, comment etc. that comes our way, which frankly evolves into "damage control" living instead of genuine living. And then we wonder what went wrong. It's like a line from a Jackson Browne song... "I don't know when that road turned into the road I'm on...Running on empty."
I love how Janet Bray and Chris Attenwood say we should live in their book "The Passion Test"... Live with Intention, Attention, No tension.
How fulfilling woud it be to live like that?! (I'd recommend the book if you have not read it)
For today I am INTENTIONALLY grabbing my snowshoes and heading out for a trek. I will pay ATTENTION to the wonderland I'm moving slowly through. I will have NO TENSION by the time I finish a good micro-brew at our favorite Mexican Restaurant on the way home.
LIFE is good...and I'm running on full. (I suspect yours is too!)
Thanks for the recommendation, I will check it out. Sounds like you had the perfect Sunday planned. Except for the whole cold/snow thing, IMO. :)
ReplyDelete:-) Hmmm...You must be one of those sun luvin Florida girls! :-) (I'm a little jealous!)
ReplyDeleteWe had a great time on the mountain. Even got some sun to bask in with some great mt. pix.
72 today. 76 tomorrow. yep.
ReplyDeleteSleigh bells ring, are you listenin'
