TiLT

completing a super scary oral presentation; watching chickens drink;feeding said chicken out of my hand; kissing sheep on the nose; rings; tea that tastes like blueberry muffins; boyfriends who carry Advil; girl scout cookies; Irish cheese; taco bars ; birthday parties ; truth or dare; fitting 6 girls under a pool table; wii; virgin margaritas; English teachers being shocked when I said I was going to take honors instead of A.P...she told me to take A.P. She has faith in me; decorating my mums journal; pre-sleepover excitement; singing to my cats; making a super awesome magazine page for apush; YOU

The Best Way to Learn Something is to teach it.

They say the best way to learn something is to teach it. This next month, I will be teaching my mum the ins and outs of self love. She isn't feeling the best...and I will help her get where she wants to do. I'm excited.

my journal

Those are all pages i've added to my journal. Well, i've added more, but those are the colorful interesting ones. The one that might be a bit hard to read says "I FORGiVE myself. Everything is old news. it is done and I can only move forward. Say hello to new beginnings/" That page means a lot. When i came to that conclusion..it was amazing.

Ok,I haven't done the How you treat yourself vs. how you treat your bff essay yet. but I have answered all the questions.
I might post some of the Q's and A's on here. Idk yet.

One thing that concerns me is... February is almost over...and I've achieved a lot on a physical level, really, i have done quite a bit mentally/emotionally, but I'm not where I want to be yet. That worries me...buttttt, i guess I can extend this not only into march, but into forevs, right?

TiLt

I've added SO much to my journal...and tomorrow or Saturday I'll devote a picture to it with pictures and such. But for now, TiLT then sleep.

Scooby doo, having motivation to work out, unicorn dresses , looking up prom dresses on etsy, pomegranate lemonade, epiphanies, seeing friends for the first time in 11 dats, my snuggie, heated blankets, whispering "it's thursday" to Nicole during class and her immediately going "OMG I KNOW" and acting excitedddd

Forgiveness

Gala says, "Forgive yourself. It's all in the past. Time to move on, babe."

So true.

Today, with those sentences, is a big step.

Beth, I forgive you.

VDay

So today is Valentine's Day. I spent it totally differently last year...

I had pretty big plans for today...but last night, they all fell to pieces. Disapointment. But the boy still took me out to lunch. Brought my chocolates, daffodils (my favorite!) and made me a card. I love this flowers. Now a days, flowers from the store aren't that fragrant. I heard they are now bread for longevity, versus scent, but I can smell these puppies when i'm on the couch and they are on my desk. It is amazing. No lie. We then returned to my house and watched THe Burrowers. Pioneer/cowboy movie with giant underground carnivorous worms. Weird. Bad ending. Sad moments, and weird noises from the worm things.

I also realized RADICAL SELF LOVE month is half way over...and I don't know how much progress i've made. I really need to get down and focus and really concentrate. Let's see how this goes.

Things I Love Thursday

I honestly forgot it was Thursday. This no school thing has been throwing me off. Haha.
Sooo
On to things I love......
snowdays, FAIL cardboard sledding, playing the snow with Russell, hot chocolate afterwards, Radical Self Love Month, NOT having an autoimmune disease, surviving driving through innercity Baltimore with my mum, "Its like a day from...from a nightmare movie!", dry body brushing, drinking tons and tons of tea, Nicole reminding me it was thursday, my love totem, plans for valentines day, Grey's Anatomy, making paper beads, wrapping up my cats like babies, watching my kitten try to snuggle with my dog, More Magic Always, moisturizing, and so much more! Just being put on the spot is making it hard to come up with so much stuff. So, i'm going to start writing things as I come across them in my RSL journal, like Gala does.
Haha :]

How to get rid of the blues

LAst night, to rid myself of the blues, I did crafts :]
I made tooons of paper beads
and it reallllly helped.

Gala Darling posted homework questions.
I've filled out two and I shall finish the rest tonight and post on hheree:]

:[

I'm feeling really blue-sy right now. So much stress today is just pouring out and i'm just all down, and its making me feel i'm going against this entire month. Ugh idk.
I need a hug.

Pamper Yourself

I've decided that I need to pamper myself more. Feeling better physically will help me feel better about myself, and feel better emotionally.
One way to achieve this? More tea. Another way? Dry Body Brushing.
Body brushing is FANTASTIC and leaves me all light headed and floaty. Haha.
Baths, natural soaps and lotions, body brushing, drinking more water, candles, etc etc etc.
I took the most amazing bath. I shan't give you the details, but I feel amazing.

Boyfriend

Last night I was talking to boyfriend and I told him how I excited I was for this month. He asked why (he hasn't been online all day). I was extremely hesitant to tell him. A journey to self radical love? Would he think that sounds totally cuckoo? Would he laugh? I ended up telling him, and of course he was supportive and excited FOR me but, it made me realize one of my goals for this month has to be to STOP WORRYING WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK and focus on myself.

Journeys of Others

I just read through the first few posts of this 28 days of silence.

I admire what she's doing. It truly is wonderful. She makes me want to do more for myself this month..and in the future.

Homework Assignment # 1 cont'd

Ok
So
I put a ribbon through the heart
now it can be worn as a headband, bracelet, neckalcechokerthing, or just tie it onto my backpack.

It looks cooler in real life. The reflection from the screen make the ribbon look just white. It's transparent-y with white polka dots and looks all nice

Homework Assignment # 1

First step: find a notebook.
DONE!
This notebook was given to me by a close friend quitee some time ago, yet has not been used. It has little kangaroo tracks inside and is adorable.

Step two: Write your pledge-thing.
DONE!

"This month is about learning to love me. Perfection is boring and I shall let that be known. Here's to radical self love month!

Step three: Find a totem for this month
Half-done!




I have this heart button, but I am not yet sure what to do with it. I'll probably either:
A.) Make a necklace
B.) Make a bracelet
C.) Tie it with a ribbon to my backpack.

I'll let you guys know :]

Radical Self Love.
