I have a couch that has a hole that needs to be stitched up.  I have a pillow that sits on the couch that needs to be stitched up.  I do not own a sowing kit.  First thing first, head to hobby lobby, or JoAnn’s and get me a kit!  Then I started thinking, do I need to take the pillow to match the color of the pillows so that it has a clean look?  Answer yes.  If I had a kit at the house I would just say F it, whatever color is around I will use.

I want to go to Yoga.  My body is craving a little stretch.  It is just so easy for me just to go to the CrossFit gym.  It takes extra effort to get to the Yoga gym.  Carve time out, get out of the routine, and get to Yoga!

Bake a cake for my daughter birthday!  I have not baked in so long!  I am ready to do this and add a ton of love to the recipe!

All in all I am looking forward to the weekend.  I am pretty sure there will be some additional activity added.  For example I will spend all Saturday morning cheering the CrossFit Central Women on at Betty’s on Boards!  Super fun!

Enjoys yours and create some space!

I asked Kris when was the last time he did something that really scared him and he said it was his Leadville race.  He said he was standing at the start line and for the first time it hit him and for a split second he thought how the hell am I going to run 100 miles?   And within that moment he told himself all he has to do is one mile at a time.  Not sure if you know but he did finish the race in under 30 hours and got himself a belt buckle.

Put something on your calendar that scares you!

Kill it!

What does ballin even mean? On internetslang.com it means “playing basketball”  or  “living the good life”.  In this blog it is definitely living the good life.  I am out in the world ballin!  I just had a friend the other day tell me she was ballin and I could not help but laugh only because I never would have expected her to use that term to describe her life.  I asked,  “what does that mean?”  She said “I am in the zone, life is good, and I am making shit happen.”  There you have it, a women in the world that is out there ballin!

Are you ballin?  Are you “living the good life”?  What would that even look like for you?  I know for me,  I am on tract in every area of my life, my relationship with God, my relationship with Kris is on fire, my kids are amazing, nutrition is on, my workouts are focused and fun, I am pouring into my people at the gym, and I am grateful mostly just because I recognize my life being ballin!

So, are you ballin?  I think this chick probably is, she is in the zone when she eats, workout, gets dressed and I am pretty sure is rock’en at her work as well!  You get to choose if your ballin.  Wake up in the morning and “make shit happen”!

Or is that mindset the right approach.

Sometimes we get this accountability partner when it is to late.  Almost as if you only get one when  you are not performing.  They are their to bring you up rather then to create results.  In studying the Oz principal I am learning that in order to get the results that one wants it comes down to a personal choice.  A personal choice to rise above one’s circumstances and demonstrate the ownership necessary for achieving desired results.

Knowing how to create a culture of accountability can be a great challenge.  If you are operating with a high level of accountability  you are clearly defining results, creating alignment around those results, delivering those results, and sustaining the changes that you are producing. Now, are you operating on high level of accountability?

A personal choice.  The mindset or attitude of continually asking “what else can I do?”  Seeing, owning, solving, and doing requires a level of ownership that includes making, keeping, and answering personal commitments.

It is open, regional, games!

You coming?

Ones spiritual life.  In a recent Leadership meeting the topic of goals came up.  We are all going around telling one another about what we will set out to do this year.  Each one having something to do with growing the business and making more money.  Jeremy stopped the group and asked “How’s everyone’s spiritual life?”  I will say, the meeting from that moment forward had a whole new appeal.  I lead everyone into a series of exercises.  We were to write about where our current world we were living in was spiritually, emotionally, and personally.  The second exercise was to write the vision of how you would want it to be if you could have it your way.  And then last create goals that would support that life.  Find an accountability partner in the room and get started!

It is true that we cannot do it alone.  “Cast they burden upon the Lord.” Psalm 11.22

If we take on work for the Lord and get out of touch with Him, the sense of responsibility will be overwhelmingly crushing.  But if we roll back on God that which he has put upon us, he takes away the sense of responsibility by bringing in the realization of Himself.

Commit to God what he has given you, put it on Him and yourself with it, and the burden is lighted by the sense of companionship.  Do not run from the burden… Run to God!

This looks like a super cool art project that I am willing to try with my daughter. It is super cool to see her come to life when she gets a crayon, a marker, a note pad, a pencil, a dry erase marker, glue stick. She created her 4th vision board on New Years day. The girls got something, who knows where she got it from? ; )
