VALUES & THINKING

VALUES

A personal value is an individual's absolute or relative and ethical value, the assumption of

which can be the basis for ethical action. A value system is a set of consistent values and measures.

A principle value is a foundation upon which other values and measures of integrity are based.

Today’s thoughts as I brainstorm a much longer post and make public my values. This is something I am excited to do but want to do the proper amount of brainstorming and thinking to write accurately.

I am one of the most indecisive people you will meet and even when I make a decision it will haunt me for days, weeks, years, decades on “if” is was the right one. An interesting homework assignment from my last therapy session was to think of my values and keep them close to me, I like to write so I’m choosing to write them out here.

Once written or thought of I can use my values to help guide my decisions, I like this idea. If it fits into my values and what I believe I should be able to make choices more easily and live with my choices more easily as well.

Let the brainstorming session commence.

ON TREND MARBLE

This past Summer & Fall I have noticed the trend of marble being incorporated into accessories, clothing, home décor & more. I have to be honest and say I’m a total junkie for it!!

I love simple designs and neutral color palettes with a hint of texture, marble fits right into that category perfectly. 

Let’s see what am I guilty over; marble notebooks, marble pillow, marble phone case, marble art, marble backdrops/photo props and if I had my way a lot more…but I can’t seem to get my hand on it in this li lol home town of mine.

I thought it be a fun change up to share some inspiration pictures on the trend and see what my take is on it. Below are images via Pinterest on how I incorporate into my life.

 

 

I love the idea of mixing simple marble designs with rich black leather pieces, chrome/ gold accessories with light nude fabrics, black and white art, warmer touches mixed with cool tones as well.

Another great option and a fun way to mix it up is to incorporate small marble pieces like a candle holder or tray, and pops of tropical palm leaf prints, accented with bold chrome and black and while color palettes.

I love home décor…..just not the price tags of things!! Again it’s hard in a smaller town.

Slowly but surely I’ll get there, and even when this marble trend fades, I’ll still be all about it!

 

Thanks loves

Here are a few quotes I have been loving lately.

NEW JOB CHIT CHAT

Where do I begin? I don’t want this post to read as un-grateful or not appreciative of the fact that I unlike many others do have an employment one that does pay my bills and provide me with the necessary income to maintain food and shelter. I know that that is not the case for many people and it is not something to forget and appreciate, I do and I am very grateful for the life and positive things I do have.

However let’s get real and have a chit chat about life lately. I left a job I loved doing for 7 years because of a negative environment and chose to do something completely different and out of my element, it has been a whirl wind to say the least.

The people are kind, the job is interesting and different, very different. I am unsure if I am the correct fit almost every day that I work, feeling as though I am failing at every task I do, unless that task is stuffing envelopes, that’s my jam, lol.

I don’t know if it’s because it’s the type of job that takes a long time to grasp and be effective at or if it’s because I am actually like I believe to be true struggling at a job that is in fact the in correct fit for me.

Is this natural for a new job? I haven’t done this in so long I’m completely out of my element, and it’s really taxing on me, when I try my hardest but still feel discouraged by the amount of mistakes I am making.

Is it best to have a conversation with my employer being honest that I feel like I’m struggling?

Do I accept that I am not the right fit and leave?

Do I? Should I? Leave now versus staying and 6months down the road I still am not right for the job but the longer I stay the more time effort and money they spend on training when they could be training someone who would be a better fit?

I just want to be an honest person who works hard, enjoys their job and is working towards a positive attitude and lifestyle a little more each day.

Thanks Loves
