Live Simply...

Why do we as women put such pressure on ourselves?

I have always been type A personality.

I want everything to be perfect.

Well ya know what?
Life is not perfect.

It's messy.
It's complicated.

It's full of twists and turns we never expected.
I feel like it's something in the air,
 as I have seen a few of my bloggy friends post similar feelings lately.
Mercury Retrograde anyone?

Mercury Retrograde Shadow Period

February 27 Mercury enters the shadow zone. On March 2 it makes its first conjunction to Scheat and we get a grand trine Neptune/Saturn/Moon. Mercury is square that Moon on the fixed star Betelgeuse. That will inflate and heat up matters. As this spot is going to get hit trice, I would pay attention to this day. Whatever happens here will have repercussions later on in the cycle. I also wouldn’t set sail around the Cape of Good Hope in a rickety old schooner on March 2, but crossing the English channel will be fine and you might even have that karmic encounter while sea-sicking your lunch up over the railings. Mercury will be quincunx Saturn this day.

March 5 however we get the potential for intuitive flashes and for those writers among us, the opportunity to plug directly into the collective consciousness. This day Mercury forms a conjunction with Uranus on the fixed star Deneb Kaitos on Cetus’s tail. “With Mercury: Active mind, writer or speaker upon subjects of public welfare, seeks to enact laws of benefit to the community, favorable for social affairs” Uranus will make the sea monster even more restless and volatile, but it’s great for effective, political speeches that move mountains for the common man

 No excuses, but I do find that fascinating...

I want to be the perfect wife.

I am so hard on myself to keep a pristine house 

{with two furry dogs, one who sheds the amount of 3 or 4}
I feel like I notice every piece of dog hair.
I never have it all gone.
Ever.

I attempt these lavish meals.

I wan to clip coupons and stock up/save $$

I want to be a great daughter, daughter-in-law, sister, auntie, friend.l

I want to look like a super model every day.

I want to be the best dog mommy.

I want to have a full heart of gratitude and love for 

all those who surround me and I 

try to show it as much as I can.

I want to be a fabulous blogger and connect with all of you amazing women.

I wanted to have my Disco pictures up by now 

{sorry mama!}
I know that every time I get sick, things fall behind and I freak out.
Bad bad habit.
I just wish I could 'Go with the flow'.
I'm really working on not being so uptight.
It's difficult, but I know I can continue to grow as a person.
I am such a complex and complicated being, but why?
I just want to be simple!!

I am the only one putting this pressure on myself.

No one is telling me to feel or do any of these.

So today, as I sip my coffee and share these thoughts, 

I'll reflect on some of these quotes.

And hopefully do more yoga to calm my ass down.
