Hey there! Starting 7/7/18 I’ll be joining in #100days100blocks2018 😊 and I’m super excited! I wanted to take a minute to share some thoughts.
I’ve had this book (Tula Pink’s City Sampler 100 Modern Quilt Blocks) for over a year and attempted this feat last year, but only managed to get to block 3 😕 So I’m trying again!
My goal is to be about a week ahead so I can post on time each week. It seems easy to sew one 6″ block per day…but there’s a lot more than just sewing the block. 🤔 You have to pick out fabric, cut said fabric, sew the block, iron, photograph, and then finally post your picture with appropriate captions/hashtags.
I’ve decided to number my blocks with these wonderful dominoes that were my great grandmother’s. It was after I inherited her old Husqvarna sewing machine that I began my journey into quilting. 💕 So this seemed appropriate.
Lastly, I love 100 day projects and my last few attempts haven’t worked out. So time to try again! Join me if you’d like #lunardreams100mqb or not! 🤣 I’ll be here regardless. Much love.
Thanks for reading.

Hey look! I’m on my mat!! …but still no yoga was done.
I laid out my mat, tried to take some pics, and became frustrated because they didn’t “look good”. Plus, I was tired from work and the gym.
Sitting here now, I understand today’s reflection. Excuses.
I love excuses.
I’m tired. I have no space. My mat is shredding at the feet (what’s up with that BTW?!). I don’t know what to do. I don’t have the time. I need more resources.
I have far to go to over come this hurdle, and I’ll take it one day at a time. But it’s gonna be a hard one. One of the main reasons I wanted to start this journey. And I know, on some level, that it’s mind over matter.
Just do it. Don’t judge it.
Just DO it.
But not today.

Today was an interesting day. I did not end up “doing” any yoga today, but rather spent quite a bit of time searching.
Searching for…something
Meanwhile, I have found some books I’d like to read, started following more people for inspiration on IG, and still have that unsure feeling of *how* to start this journey.
I’d like to take some “before” pics of me practicing so that when I get better I can see my progress. But that seems daunting…so I avoided it today.
There’s always tomorrow!

Hi. My name is Brandi.
Starting today I’ve decided to begin a new journey.
My exploration of yoga.
From routines to research, inspirational people to technical jargon. I want to gain a greater understanding of myself, my body, my journey.
Ideally, my goal is to post something EVERY day. More if I’m so inspired. I’ve found I push myself and grow when I create large, daily projects. So here’s my next project.
There’s something very vulnerable about this project which scares me…and that’s exactly the reason I’m pushing myself to do it.
There will (hopefully) be…
Blunt moments of honesty.
Raw moments of insecurities.
Visual moments of strength.
Gleeful moments of success.
And if I’m lucky, quiet moments of realizations and growth.
Join me if you’d like.
I’ll be here either way.
Every day.

I found this photo online today and it really resonated with my current mood. Today I committed to a 30 day yoga challenge and what I found out was, it felt GREAT!
The first day was a 30 minute routine with your basic positions and flows. Could I do everything perfectly? No. But it felt amazing as I worked through the routine and focused on my breathe and moving with intention.
By the end, beads of sweat were gently rolling down the side of my face and down the curve of my back. But it felt good. It wasn’t that gross kind of wore out, beat to the bone, out of breathe sweat.
It was a feeling of success and renewed strength. It felt good.
Really good.

I want…

Why is there never enough time to do what you want to do?
The days are too short and filled with obligations and chores.
I want to play. I want to relax in the shade of a forest of trees, watching as the creatures of said forest play themselves.
I want to create. I want to enjoy the creative process without feelings of criticism, mostly from myself. I want to be able to spend hours upon hours creating.
I want to read more. I want to get caught up in another world and become so familiar with the characters that I forget they’re not “real”.
I want to walk along the ocean shore on the most perfect late afternoon and hang out until sunset. And when the sun does begin to set, I want the light to play with the clouds in such a way that it creates a magical, evolving canvas of beauty.
I want to actually enjoy a thunderstorm. I want to smell the rain and feel the breeze as the storm passes through.
I want to feel alive, not just present. How do we balance our responsibilities and our desires? How can we enjoy our existence while also maintaining our financial obligations?
I want to feel alive.
Not just “be” alive.
