hello monday. april 14th.

I haven't done a hello monday post in a (long) while, so it seems like the perfect prompt to get me back into blogging. Busy days around here…

hello freshly painted rooms. Austin and I tackled his room and the master bathroom ceiling yesterday. We went with Behr Baja for his room, and I love it. Even if it won't be "ours" for long.

hello trips to Lowe's and Home Depot. Finishing up lots of little projects before we put the house on the market. My (very awesome) realtor has reminded me that time is of the essence – I'm balancing that with not letting myself get super stressed about the prep. 

hello Maine for Easter weekend. Austin and I are jonesing for the ocean, so we're heading to the coast next weekend. I'm sure it will be chilly, but it will still be a welcome sight. Any recommendations for a weekend read?

hello flip flops. The forecast calls for almost 80 degrees today! I'm ignorning the fact that it will dip down to 24 in a few nights. 

hello kind words. After dealing with a hefty amount of negativity recently, it's soothing to hear kind words – thank you, you inspired me, and I really enjoyed your class. I'm going to make sure that I pay it forward this week. 

hello achieving goals. I'm pretty much ALWAYS working on practices & projects. Last Oct, my friend Michelle encouraged me to write "traditional" goals – 6 month, 1 year, 5 year, and 10 year. I did as I was told (ha!), and arranged them in a powerpoint with the title "From Broken to Whole." I came across the document last night as I was finishing up taxes, and was pretty thrilled to see that I can cross off every.single.one of the 6 month goals. Yay me!!! 

What are you saying hello to this week?

Hello Monday is a Lisa Leonard inspired practice.
