Day 29



Where is your favorite place ? 






My favorite place of all time is this desolate, unknown, magnificent spot I call "The Windmills." It is a place in the middle of no where that has hundred and hundreds of windmills everywhere. 

 Before I had my son I would go to this beautiful spot at least three times a week. I would drive up and hula hoop, relax, read, think- you name it. My friends would all want me to bring them up there, but other times I just went alone; it was my place to go to get away. Sometimes you need those places to escape from reality and this spot was perfect for just that. Some spots up there you won't see a person for miles, maybe a cow or two, but no people in sight and no cell service.  That could become dangerous - but I couldn't get enough. Since my son has been born I have only been up twice. Even saying that shatters my heart because this place was home to me. For years and years I would go there when I was so happy, heart broken, sad, and angry. It sounds so crazy but these windmills (my favorite windmill Franklin) knew all of my deepest darkest secrets and feelings. 

 The surrounding neighbors would see my car and wave as if I was a neighbor, but they all knew what I was doing there. The windmills of course are dangerous in some capacity so they are a restricted area, but no one ever gave me any hassle because it was home to me and it was like they knew that. 
So for today, visit a place that is so very special to you in every way, a place that brings you home. 
This could be a place like the windmills, it could be a drive by of your childhood home, your favorite restaurant as a kid, or your grandmothers kitchen. 

 You decide what this means to you, but let it truly mean something to you. 
Maybe today, bring someone you love as well to share that emotion with. Show them why this spot means so much to you. 
I remember when I first started dating my boyfriend he said "can you bring me to your windmills, I want to see the place that means so much to you."  At that moment I knew he was a keeper. 







When I drive down this one hill that leads me into the valley of the windmills I sincerely get goosebumps; you can see windmills for miles. This place and near and dear to my heart and always will be.

Chose your company wisely. Surrounding yourself with people who bring you joy is important. It not only brings positivity to your life but it also brings balance. There are going to be days you aren't feeling so great and you need to have some people in your life that make things worth the while. So today, get together or just give someone a call you haven't seen in a while that brings you positive energy. It doesn't have to be someone you haven't talked to in years ( or it can be ) or it can be someone you just saw a few weeks ago. Get a little positivity life refresher from someone who matters.

We have come so far on this journey of self love! I hope that if you have read one or all these posts you have felt some what of a change in how you view yourself.  Today we are focusing on learning something new. It is a glorious Sunday morning which indicates to me, anything is possible. So today decide what it is that you want to learn! It could be something simple, or something a little more challenging that today might be the start of your learning adventure.  Some examples could be learning a new way to cook, a new exercise, painting, learning another language; the options are endless! Something you don't know how to do today is something you can learn how to do.  I found an awesome 8 step tutorial on Pinterest on watercolor painting! It looks so fun and it's something I have never tried before. I also have always wanted to learn how to do that beautiful handwriting people can do?! It's just stunning the way people can write and create beautiful pieces just by simply
