PurposeFULL Life.....{a giveaway}....

I posted one of the photos above on Instagram earlier this week

with the hash tag #whosoldladyhandsarethese......isn't it funny that I obviously

look at my hands many times a day, like everyday...but never noticed how wrinkly

and well, OLD they look.  Hello, hand-cream, we need to become better friends! 

However, after I came to my senses,  I thought, these are the hands that have

held my husband's hand for almost 25 years, the hands that held

both my baby girls for the first time and the hands that have yet to fail me

in my almost daily yoga practice {downward dogs and many vinyasas}. They

are the familiar hands of my grandmother, mother and aunts.....family hands, 

good hands....I'll keep 'em.

But enough about the hands let's talk about the arm candy, shall we?

Nearly everyday, you will find me wearing a leather cuff, it's my thing.

I have many but most of mine were made by my lovely friend 

Becky of Farmgirl Paints.  

When I was relatively new to blogging, I stumbled upon Becky's

blog and felt a connection, mostly because she lived near me in 

Minnesota but also because she just seemed so 'real'.  So imagine

how shocked I was when I was at my gym a couple weeks later

and noticed a cute mom with a 'little chick' and a 'big chick' 

in tow.....I knew it was Farmgirl Paints {Becky, unlike me, posts many

photos of her cute-self on her blog}!  So like any good blog

stalker, I sent her a creepy friendly message along the lines

of "do you workout at Life Time Fitness in ......?"  Low and behold

she got back to me and a friendship was born......

Unfortunately {or fortunately, depending on how you look at it}, our

lives took both of us away from Minnesota - to opposite coasts!

Ok - now let's talk more about Becky's cool, hip, inspirational cuffs.

Words and quotes are important to me - they decorate my home, 

broaden my mind and inspire me to be better and do better.

Wearing words that speak, uniquely to ME is me, no apologies.

The photos above are my newest cuff - it says,

"PurposeFULL Life".

Phew!

That's alot to live up to. But with more PURPOSE

is how I am choosing to live this year - whoo hoo!

Purpose in who I spend my time with, how I spend my 

time and resources  - every minute. of every day.
