    Giveaways :: Day 10 :: Hello There Design

    We are giving away 2 pieces of art today. One of which I have helped collaborate on, and I'm excited about its debute here today.


    hellotheredesign.png

    I've joined forces with Chloe Marty of Hello There Design to create this sweet poster {above on the left}. We've created this particular design as a little reminder to all of us parents {or anybody for that matter}, to 

    • LOVE our children with kindness. 
    • Be calm and gentle, even when times are hard. 
    • Give hugs and kisses when we really just want to give time outs. 
    • Apologize when we are wrong. 
    • Show children how to be calm, gentle and kind by being those things.

    I can say from experience that being a mom is harder than any job we will ever have. It requires more patience than our teenage years combined. We worry, we stress and we have moments of complete chaos that require us to stay calm and be leaders. 

    Even when we want to fold under pressure or give up and QUIT. We can't. Even when we want to cry and crawl in a closet and just lock the door. 

    WE CAN'T. 

    There is no other job like being a mother - full of often impossible tasks. 

    But, we are committed to this parenting thing because of LOVE. 

    I will never forget a wonderful yoga class I took a few months ago. The final words of the hour stuck with me: "may the rest of your day be peaceful and calm!" I left thinking YEAH RIGHT! Because after any workout I go home to 2 wild boys and the last thing I am is calm.

    But I decided it was time for me to try and be calm. Instead of my usual go-go, hurry hurry, rush rush, scream yell, bribe, coerce  etc. I chose to be extra sweet, give lots of hugs, be playful, happy, smiling, and gentle with a calm voice and peaceful attitude. Even when the S**!t hit the fan, I still kept my composure. Even when I was being screamed at while talking on important phone calls, I remained sweet. 

    My youngest is a little love bug. And whenever he does things he's not supposed to do or is throwing a tantrum I tend to get upset. He always cries even more after that and says "be happy mom. I just want you to be happy!"

    And then my heart melts. We hug it out and we say sorry. And then I realize that all my kids {all kids} really want is for their parents to be in good moods, to listen to them, play with them and give lots of hugs and kisses.

    Things are so much better at my house when I am peaceful. When I stick to it, ask things nicely, say please, thank you, sorry.and all with a smile, I notice the respect I give cames right back. 

    When I treat my littles ones the way I like to be treated, I notice they are MUCH kinder, calmer, happy, peaceful, spirited and can concentrate better. They act less tired, mischievous, crabby and cranky. 

    It doesn't happen overnight. And it doesn't happen everyday or as often as I'd like. But the best part about kids is they forgive. So quickly. Most of the time I do lose my cool and I do yell and I do feel like a total failure {that's part of being a parent and our life lessons}. But when I dig deep and remember my youngest sons cry for my happiness or I look at that artwork on the wall - I am reminded to start over and find that patience, that calmness - it's in there.

    We will be selling them as well on her etsy shop if you want to give one as a gift or frame one of your own. You can purchase one at any time.

    And then, shown above, is Chloe's REMEMBER THE DAY art. This poster captures a special moment in your life through a piece of artwork. Here is how Chloe describes it:

    Your wedding day. Your daughter's birth. The day your son took his first steps, said his first word, started kindergarten. The most important moments of your life deserve to be remembered in a special way. I create unique artwork that's worthy of your most treasured memories. My *REMEMBER the day* artwork commemorates your occasions by combining colors and type of important dates and words, all on a gallery-wrapped canvas or fine art print background. Hang it in your living room, your child's room, your office - anywhere you can see it and smile. 

    My love of design, and specifically typography led me to create my *REMEMBER the days* as a way to remember special events. I love creating these pieces for my customers; each one is unique and special telling a one-of-a-kind story about a day to be remembered.

    I loved this internet with @drclarenceleejr - he’s the kind of doctor you want on your side. And lucky for us here in San Diego. He’s local 🙌🏼. His practice is based in San Marcos. For the full interview head on over to my YouTube channel https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OY5sCDfYtbQ&t=7s (Also link in bio). We talk medicine, spirituality, nutrition, autoimmune and the “business” of the medical industry.

    Move over eggs. This tofu scramble is comin’ in hot! 🍳
Just 5 minutes and you’ve got breakfast. So often I get asked for breakfast ideas when transitioning to a plant based diet. This is a great egg sub and is savory and high in healthy protein. 
1 cube medium hard tofu 
1 tsp turmeric 
Salt and pepper to taste. 
1/2 Tbsp olive oil or other cooking oil 
In a frying pan sauté on medium high heat for 5 minutes. Stirring often. Add garlic or onions or cheese. I added spinach to mine. 😋

    Damn this combo of garlic, ginger and tahini over sautéed potatoes is 💣. I love tahini dressing because of how creamy it gets without using cashews or dairy products. I first sautéed the potatoes in vegan butter. I added a few shallots for fun. THAT’S IT. If you cut them thin enough they cook in just 5-6 minutes on medium high heat. I added raw kale to them for added fiber and minerals. 
Dressing 
2 cloves garlic
1/4 inch piece of fresh ginger
1 whole lemon
2-3 Tbsp sesame oil, 
1 heaping Tbsp tahini
2 Tbsp water
big pinch sea salt. 
blend it all together until creamy and chunk-free. 
Enjoy

    LISTEN 👂I wish somebody shared this wisdom with
    LISTEN 👂I wish somebody shared this wisdom with me when I was younger. 
I used to think perfection was actually THE goal in life. Literally that’s what I thought - be your best, do your best, be the nicest, get the best grades, look your best, date the best, eat the best, do no wrong, don’t argue, be happy and makes others happy, give give give…and if I didn’t accomplish those things I was very concerned. I wondered what was wrong with me and punish myself. I know…laughable right? But nobody told me otherwise🤷‍♀️ 
This is what a version of codependency looks like: perpetual state of feeling not good enough, constant state of fear or fight or flight…exhausting, defeating and eventually leads to dis-ease. A victim in almost all areas of your life: “Why is this person being awful to me, why am I sick when others are well, this isn’t fair”. 
After deep healing and self exploration, I clearly see how my ways of looking at life, my own actions (people pleasing or having no boundaries), attract the abusers, users, haters, broken people; I attracted people to treat me poorly. 
So, this is what is meant by “taking accountability” for your life and understanding why certain things are happening “to you”. 
Not everybody is supposed to like you or agree with you or UNDERSTAND YOU. But taking it PERSONAL (becoming a victim) is your choice. Being Treated with complete disrespect is THEIR choice. Playing IN THE game of TOXICITY however is also your choice.
Freedom is attainable. Healing is attainable. Harmony and peace are attainable. It just requires radical self awareness. Today I choose to break the rules that were never there to begin with.
