Optimistic Mondays

July 16, 2012

I thought talking about my goals for the week would be a good topic to talk about or at least think about on Monday mornings. After all, when you write something down, you just might be more likely to stay committed to a task and might even accomplish your goals. I am always optimistic, therefore I thought this would be a good title for my new series.  If you can think of a better title please let me know.  I am always open to suggestions!

My goals for this week:

1. Walk and/or run at least 4 times with a minimum of 3 miles each time.
2. Buy new running shoes. I like to wear the Nike+ shoes so that I can put in my sensor and keep track of each run. However, I have had a hard time finding the shoes with the + lately.

3. I am taking a photography class on Wednesday, so my goal is to post some pictures later in the week to show off my new found (I hope) skills. I have been wanting to take a class for years.

4. Add at least 2 meaningful posts to my blog, visit other blogs to make new friends (and add lots of comments to them) and learn more about the social media world.

5. Get my packing done early for my vacation. Maybe even a whole 24 hours in advance so I will be calm and cool on the actual travel day.

6. Sit down and finally get all of my thank you cards written and mailed that I owe people.

7. Cook at least 2 dinner meals at home even though half the family is gone this week.

8. And, as always, remember all that I am blessed with and am so thankful for.

    Love your list! I find I do better with a running list each week. I just got a new camera and have been getting over my fear of manual mode. Here is a great site for photography buffs. I also love the blog Kevin has with his wife ~ they are doing an amazing job remodeling their home. http://Www.shootflyshoot.com
    The class he offers is AMAZING!

    Stopping by from SITS! I have a few of your goals on my list as well. One of those goals is your #4. So here I am finding a new blog and adding comments. I am also working on my photography and I can’t wait to see your photos! Now if only I could get the motivation to sit and write my thank you notes. Have a great weekend!

Remember this pretty navy strapless dress? I can change up the look in the blink of the eye with my accessories. 

Today I added a lightweight olive color sweater wrap over my shoulders and a neutral cane wristlet. 

I find the little half sweater wrap to be the perfect touch. It adds interest, extra color and a tiny bit of warmth. It comes in dozens of colors and stripes too. 

Comment SHOP and I’ll send you the details and links for this pretty outfit.

Patience is a virtue… I patiently waited (and s Patience is a virtue…

I patiently waited (and stalked) the website and brick and mortar stores until I finally found these cute (and extremely comfortable) suede sandals in my size. 🎉

They’re the perfect pairing with my new Lysse New York outfit! I’m feeling like I should be going somewhere warm and fun now.

My jewelry is Melinda Maria and you can use code StacieH for 10% off your order.✨

My purse is Spartina 449. Isn’t it divine?!💗

Just say SHOP and I will send you all the outfit details, but you must be following me to receive the message (it’s an IG rule).‼️ 

P.S. I’m 5’1” and mostly wear petites, but this outfit is regular misses sizes. The pants are cropped length on most.💖

Well this pretty dress does that for me!☺️

Comment SHOP for the link to this carefree outfit with sizing details.💖

And yes, it has pockets! To be honest, the only thing I ever put in the pockets are my hands. But when a dress doesn’t have them, I don’t feel as comfortable. Anybody else feel the same?😅

One of my favorite jackets is the lightweight Pack One of my favorite jackets is the lightweight Pack-It Jacket. It’s a great option, especially when I’m on the go! #ad

It has adjustable elastic to cinch in the waist, a hood when I need it in the rain (this hair is a lot of work so I have to protect it)!😅

And the best part is that it can be rolled up into its zipper pouch and tossed it into my bag so I have it when I really need it! It came in handy on my boat ride yesterday!

It comes in several different colors as well as inclusive sizing, so there’s a jacket for everyone! Oh, and it makes a great gift too!

Just comment SHOP and I’ll send the link to your messages or use the link below to shop the Pack-It Jacket from @coldwatercreek 💖
