The Shark

Happy Monday Ladies!

I'm so glad you loved Fairy Friday and getting your foam soap was an unexpected happy moment at the end of your week!  I loved every minute of doing that for ya'll and can't wait to do it again! ;)

Well, I am the proud owner of a new vacuum cleaner!  I'm sure that you understand what a powerful moment this was in my life.  My old vacuum cleaner sucked. (No pun intended!)  Actually, it didn't suck and that's why I have wanted a new one for basically the last six years of my life.  I inherited the vaccum with my husband when I married him and he was SO PROUD of his vacuum.  So, literally every week for the last six years I would gripe about how much I hated the thing, and he would get offended because he thought it was awesome and that it worked fine so we didn't need a new one.  I'm not sure how, but finally after all this time I was able to talk him into getting a new one.  So, last week on Tuesday night, I put Addy down and went to Target alone.  (Some of you are so jealous right now that I actually got to go to Target ALONE!)  I walked around for a while like a zombie (I needed this moment just to unwind from the crazy day and process the fact that I was there ALONE!)  Then, I found the vacuum aisle!  And there it was.... The Shark...constant sucking, multi-surface, 5 year warranty, and over half the price of a Dyson- SOLD!  Oh, and did I mention it was purple?

Why am I telling you all of this you may ask?  Because this weekend as I was using my UH-mazing vacuum cleaner, I had some thoughts I'd like to share.

First, having something that actually did its job really well has changed my life!  It has cut down on the time I spend vacuuming because I don't have to roll over the same spot a hundred times.  Plus, my floors and rugs have never looked better! 

Second, I realized how truly horrible the prior vacuum was and wondered why in the world I waited such a long time before getting a new one.

Sometimes, we get stuck in the normalcy (which is often chaos) of our lives and we just accept mediocrity when we don't have to.  I hope that you are not doing that right now and if you are, that you will be made aware today of this fact- you do not have to settle in any area of your life.  You deserve and can have the greatest life you want to.  You may have to make some choices to let things go (may be people or things... or even feeling and emotions) to get to a place where you know, without a doubt, that you are living your best life.  If you are holding on to anything in your life right now that is holding you back from pure joy, peace, and freedom- LET IT GO! 

The other thing is this- do your job REALLY well so that nobody (especially Tonia!) can ever say "this one is just not working that well, we really need a new one." 

Okay, that's all for now.  Have a great week!

Until next time...
