Christmas and Quiet Days

I know I've been such a bad blogger.  I've been so busy with Scentsy and worried about money that I've panicked and haven't been doing much that fills my bucket.  I've been kind of withdrawing these last few weeks, recouping my energy from a very busy 2011.  I've slept a lot and maybe its the January blues.  I always am very reflective this time of year and probably far too hard on myself of what I have and what I haven't accomplished or what the new year will bring.  The truth is I don't know but all I can do is focusing on the best I can do each day which is all we have anyway.

Hoping to take more pictures this year and catching up on uploading to my flickr account.  I miss scouring the pages of flickr with all their wonderful inspirational goodness.

Mid Week Inspiration

  “Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.” ~ Khalil Gibran

I saw this on Facebook today and it really was such a powerful quote and picture it hit me like a brick.  Thought I'd share it with all of you.

P.S.  Have pics coming from the holidays.  I know I've been such a bad blogger. x

Recently

Been really incredibly busy with Scentsy.  Looking forward to a couple days break in the midlands with James' family.  Hoping for a lot of good things to come my way in the new year cause I'm exhausted frankly.  Only so many trials one person can deal with.  But have lots of hopes for the New Year:  Want to take more pictures and make more time for me amongst other things.

What are your hopes for the New Year?

Much love to you and your family this holiday.

More Leeds and then a bit of London

(notice the Christmas trees at Big Ben and the National Gallery?)

These were all taken with the Fuji Instax Mini.  My word I love that camera.  The colors are to die for and it makes everything look like a watercolor.

I've been feeling pretty overwhelmed since Leeds with emotions.  Feeling really lost and its been a real blessing to be able to turn to photography to find the words when regular talking seems to fail sometimes.

Can't believe that its nearly December.  I really don't know where this year has gone or what next year will bring.

Leeds Castle Festive Fair

Spent the weekend at Leeds Castle and their Festive Fair doing a Scentsy stall.  We got to stay at their Bed and Breakfast on the grounds so we got to wonder around after hrs and get some great pictures in the early morning.  Leeds Castle is stunning and it could have been a cracking event.  Its a shame the Fair was so poorly organised though.  You just never know really with events.
