Welcome to An Authentic Life

Authentic posts are made daily, whenever possible, although I have come to learn that balance is a healthy and necessary part of living authentically.

{Besides, an occasional day off keeps the laundry and dust-bunnies at bay. And, Sexy Hubby appreciates a home-cooked meal every now and then.}

Thank God It’s Friday…and thank God it’s gold…

A view from the homeland…

The Golden Gate…

It’s all I got on this last Friday of January.

But it’s enough…

Skin Care and Other Beauty Resolutions

 

Since I am part of the Live Well Lived panel via BlogHer and furiously trying to stop the tick-tick-tick of the hands of time (on my skin) this post couldn’t be more perfect and a great opportunity for me to share what I’ve learned so far about skin care.

My “New Year, New You” beauty plan actually began last year, when . . . → Read More: Skin Care and Other Beauty Resolutions

All Roads Lead to Today

Today.

I am only focusing on the here and now.

Taking time to reflect on this day. This time. This moment.

So many days, I spend too much time looking forward, or worse, looking back with feelings of regret, remorse, or redundancy.

Not today.

Today is reserved for today.

Enjoy today, gentle readers, for it’s the only thing guaranteed.

My Love Affair With Hair

Hair.

It’s the first thing you notice about someone. Or whether or not they have hair! (Big G, you know I love a bald head! But this is about the girls!)

I have a love affair with hair.

Who doesn’t adore beautiful, luxurious, thick, purposeful hair?

Embracing the Small Parenting Moments

Editor’s Note: This post was featured at Montana Parent Magazine’s web site today. I love those peeps!

Parenting is a funny thing.

While in the thick of it, it feels heavy and never-ending. There is no light at the end of the tunnel.

Hell, there is no tunnel. Only a hole.

I equate it to a hamster operating . . . → Read More: Embracing the Small Parenting Moments

Favored Winter Scenes

Editor’s Note: Funny, this was posted almost exactly a year ago, and this year’s weather story had been a repeat of winter of ’11. Also, since I work from home, I don’t get a chance to drive by my favorite barns, fences or bovine in the morning. While driving yesterday afternoon past this spot, I thought, “I’m . . . → Read More: Favored Winter Scenes

Don’t Like The Weather…Wait 5 Minutes…

Never have I lived in a spot where the weather literally changes before your eyes. It’s mystical and mysterious, and down-right dumb-founding.

And if you blink, you may just miss all the hullabaloo.

I didn’t blink.

I saw the hullabaloo with both eyeballs.

My Favorite Holiday Tree

For those who follow An Authentic Life regularly, it should be apparent that I love home decor and decorating. It’s the silly, little things, but often after I rearrange something, I’ll walk by and admire the newly “staged” area, feeling proud, and loving the aesthetic pleasure it brings.

Frugal + Fashionista + Fundraiser = And How YOU Can Help!

I believe in karma.

I also believe that nothing happens by accident.

Nothing. No matter what.

Good or bad, events that happen lead us to grow and learn about ourselves. They measure the strength of our mettle.

A short time back, at a visit to my dermatologist, I saw a random flyer on the counter. I picked . . . → Read More: Frugal + Fashionista + Fundraiser = And How YOU Can Help!
