Where in the World Would I Live?

I don’t know about you, but I like to “try out” new things and places! Natalie asks, “If you chose to live anywhere in the world, where would that be and why?” But, before I make a decision that changes the way I live, I’d like to vacation somewhere for a couple weeks, before making it a home. I’ve  never been outside the United States and would absolutely love to travel almost anywhere.

I’ve not yet thought about where I would try living, maybe somewhere in Europe like Italy, France or Netherlands. They just look so peaceful and beautiful. I’ve heard Australia is great too. Honestly, there are to many choices. But one thing I know for sure is that wherever this place might be, it would be a coastal state or country.

It’s where my heart is most happy! The sand, tropical plants, the waves crashing, the birds, ah I can just hear it!! And the smell of the salt water and fresh air. Mmm heaven…I’m ready to pack my bags now, I don’t need to try anything out, do I? :)

See here is a place in Italy know as Rabbit Island. Perfect!

If I were to choose somewhere in the U.S. though, North Carolina would be my ideal location. I could be happy never traveling, if I could have this back. Check out why here.  Or, maybe Oregon… it looks beautiful too.

How to Maintain Focus for My Ideal Lifestyle

Note to self: Use Asana everyday

In order for me to maintain focus on achieving my perfect, ideal day, I need to dedicate myself more to my project

management system- Asana.

I keep tasks in there but I feel so busy

or tired at the end of the work day that I just can’t keep up with making decisions for my own business, inserting projects and actually working on the projects because I provide the exact same services to my clients everyday.

I think this means is that I will soon be hiring my personal VA to help me out!

Lately, I have been working on my business more- utilizing Asana, but still see room for improvement. So, I will plan to start my day each morning reviewing my business, what one thing I could do each day to move closer to my ideal lifestyle.

It’s a simple and effective solution!

What are you going to do to reach your ideal lifestyle? Maybe it’s implementing a exercise routine into your day or writing a journal…tell me in the comments below.

Olivia’s Perfect Day in a Small Town

Woohoo, it’s day 5 of the Blogging Challenge with Natalie Sisson and another exciting question for me to write about and share with you.

Natalie asks, “What is your perfect day like?”

Well for me, it all starts with a good night sleep! When you have two little ones under 3 you don’t always get a full 6-8 hours of sleep- without noisy little feet coming to wake you or cries from a fussy baby wanting his bottle. So peaceful sleep is essential along with happy, pleasant attitudes to last all day :)

Awaking in the arms of my Marine always makes for a nice morning of reflection on how blessed we are to still be married, have healthy babies, make each other laugh and work from home to allow more quality time as a family.

It would be a great day to start the morning on the beach again- like our time in Florida a couple years ago, but for now the country side of Missouri is also quite beautiful in its own way- I guess because it’s where home has always been for me. A nice cup of Joe on the front porch watching the kids play in the crisp morning air, while watching my husband take off on his morning jog. Yes, it’s picture perfect to me…

And no matter how you look at it, work will always be waiting in some form or fashion to tag along throughout the day. Whether its working for clients, myself or taking care of the family- it’s a happy thing for me to be doing- I truly enjoy it all. I look forward to adding jewelry designing back into the mix one day.

Ending the day with a movie with the kids and a nice Pizza (which is my daughters favorite right now) or a good book, an evening at the park, or an evening run in the sunset for me would be most acceptable in my perfect day.

Now, for sweet dreaming of a happy tomorrow…

Thanks for reading…have a beautiful day!

Waking up to a NEW LIFE- what would that look like…

Wow there are a lot of possibilities here!

But, if I were to wake up one day and become anyone I wish and do anything I want, I’d like to:

Have an endless supply of beads to create beautiful handmade Jewelry

Ocean Daze Jewelry

.

Be living on the beach somewhere on the East Coast maybe Emerald Isle, where I spent my first year of marriage with my Marine

Emerald Isle, NC

.

Live  a life where all my time could be devoted to my family {no work, all play}

.

Go absolutely anywhere & do anything without restrictions

Florida Palm Trees

But on a less extreme level, I’d love to grow my business to generate an income to be able to have half the resources to commit to one of the above.
