January Give Away! Lenny & Eva Jewelry!
Pinterest has brought something awesome into my life, and it’s perfect to offer it as a giveaway for one of you lucky badass bitches who has jumped into the Freeplaylife challenge. I am talking about beautiful Lenny & Eva bracelets. You choose from a selection of wide or thin leather cuffs in multiple colors/washes, and then pair it up with a beautiful metal stamped quote.
I love leather cuffs AND quotes AND metal stamped jewelry, so to say that I squealed a little when I saw all three combined into one awesome wearable piece is an understatement.
They have dozens of whimsical and inspiring quotes to choose from…here’s just a few:
I love how completely customizable these are, and how relevant each quote is to the quest we’re on to find a happy place of joy and whimsy in our lives.
I chose an ocean blue leather (to honor the octopus within me, ha!) with the quote “Sometimes I’ve believed as many as 6 impossible things before breakfast” -Alice in Wonderland.
This giveaway is open this week, closing Sunday night.
HOW TO QUALIFY FOR THE GIVEAWAY!
every time you upload a self portrait onto twitter and instagram with the tag #fplphoto, I’ll put your name into a mason jar. Every time you post a photo onto the freeplaylife facebook page, I’ll put your name into a mason jar. Everytime you tweet or facebook something about how you are doing with the weekly challenge and use the tag @freeplaylife, I’ll put your name into a mason jar! At the end of this week I’ll reach in and pull out a name and that person will claim the gift.
Since this week is all about digging into your past, fun self portraits would be pictures of you taken in past years. Pictures of you as a kid. In college. But all self portraits qualify! If you are hesitant to post pictures online, I just want to point out it’s perfectly awesome to take pictures of your feet, from where you stand. No face, but still you in a picture! Just don’t forget to tag them with either #fplphoto or @freeplaylife so I can find them!
Share Tweet52 Weeks To A Freeplaylife: Week 3
Another week, another challenge! Are you ready?! The goal: creating a life for ourselves and our families in which we are playful, energized, present, engaged, joyful, and not stressed the fuck out all the time. How we’re going to get there: completing a challenge every week, one week at a time. Here’s the exciting part, bitches…as long as you keep on keeping on with this, I am going to have a super awesome give away at the end of every month. That means THIS WEEK will be the give away! I’ll have more on that tomorrow, because I’m behind a week and actually forgot this week is the end of January…I thought I had more time. heh heh. oops. Anyway, I’ll let you know more about that…pardon my dust…
Once these challenges are issued there is no stop date…the specific week lasts 7 days before we move on to another one…but please feel free to continue to work on the challenges simultaneously. Like you would eat a layered cake…just dive in! Eventually we’ll have a 52 layered emotional chocolate cake of awesome to feast on!
Some challenges you will love. Others you will hate. Some will be easy and fun, others will be emotional and hard. Send me candy and love notes when you love what you’re doing for the week. And feel free to throw a temper tantrum and push pins into a voodoo doll on the weeks that you hate what you’re doing…as long as you do it! Just humor me!
The last couple challenges have asked you to really look at yourself…what do you want and need? Are you getting that? Do people really see who you are? Do you see yourself? This week is no different. The foundations of a freeplaylife are built around you, so you need to be crystal clear about who you authentically are. This is a tall order! So let’s get digging!
This week I’d like you to:
Excavate!
Unearth!
Become your own archaeologist!
Here’s how you will do this. Using Pinterest, I want you to create a visual timeline of your life. Where did you start? And then what happened? And then what? And what was after that? How old were you when you rode a bike for the first time? Had your first kiss? Got into really big trouble? Moved to a new hometown? Traveled out of the country? Where have you been? What was your first concert? And where are you now?
This is going to be all about you, bitches! Incidentally, I named my pinterest category “It’s All About Me, Bitches!” so you can sense there’s a theme here. I’ve pinned different places I’ve lived and things I’ve done in my life. A visual diary of sorts. I’m telling you, for this week’s challenge, it IS all about you. For all the times you felt selfish, narcissistic, or put down because you focused on you instead of “others”, let this be a safe place for you to dwell with yourself and see your life through your own personal lens.
this is me with the kids, schlepping them all around Jungfraujoch in Switzerland. Happy memory!!!
As you are doing this, try and relate to things as if you were an outside observer…like a historian or biographer trying to put the pieces of your puzzle together. If you have access to old boxes full of things from your childhood, spend time going through them. Take pictures of the memorabilia and pin it to your pinterest wall or post it to twitter/instagram/facebook (using the tag #fplphoto). Some memories will be great, and will probably be easy to remember. Some memories will be difficult to relive and will be harder to bring up. In those cases, take a step back and observe it from arms length. This is just a factual timeline. We’ll deal with the emotional baggage it may bring along with it later.
Pay attention to how in control you were in each event. Were the things that happened driven by you proactively, or were they reactionary dependent on someone else? Pay attention to any themes that come up, or any emotions the run like a current through your life. Piece yourself together with new fresh eyes. Learn about yourself as if you were reading a fascinating book. After all, you are the main character in the story of your life!
