"There are no ordinary moments." ~Way of the Peaceful Warrior
{this moment} - a Friday ritual. A photo (few) capturing moments from the week. Simple, special, extraordinary moments. Moments I want to pause, savor and remember.
If you're inspired to do the same, leave a link to your 'moment' in the comments for all to find and see.

Still soooo busy! But here are my moments from the past two weeks! :)
[Thanks to my friend Tam for the awesome photos above!]
Weekly "Smile Up":
I was doing these "weekly smile-ups" a couple years ago and they were a lot of fun to do and I'd like to start them up again. I figure doing them along with the weekly "this moment" posts is fitting and quite perfect--since "this moment" is all about appreciating your life and everything around you and that's exactly what the "weekly smile-up" posts are about too! Sooooo, getting back into this lovely routine! :)
☺ Celebrated Cory's birthday last weekend at the Kaslo Skatepark with amazing friends!
☺ Bonfires on the lake!!
☺ Getting lots of work done so I can feel better heading into market season!
☺ Getting back in touch with both my Grandmas in Europe. It's been much too long!
☺ Wishing my little brother a happy birthday (he shares the same birthday as Cory, it's really sweet).
☺ Tea dates with my bestie!
☺ Sitting on the kitchen counter talking and hanging out with my hubby (random beautiful moment).
☺ Finally getting a bookshelf for my work room!
☺ Watching the sun go down from our big bright windows in our sunroom.
☺ Writing and Drawing up the good copy of the first chapter of my book!!

Lessons of the week:
Look at yourself when you were your happiest and remember how good you felt; then strive for it again!! ☀ It's okay not to be okay all the time! ☀ Be yourself and never be ashamed of any part of you! Embrace who you are!! ☀ Put yourself in a good mood the moment you wake up! ☀ It's good to spend time on yourself, just for yourself--and it's not selfish so don't feel guilty for it! ☀ People will always try to take credit for things you do--do them anyway and don't bother with silly people. ☀ PMA PMA PMA!! ☀
Hope you're all having a beautiful wonderful blissful week! Tell me about your lovely weeks! Tell me about your "Weekly Smile Up" and "This Moment"! Pretty please? :)
