Blue Happy Living

If I’m honest and I always try to be with my blog readers my year-end was not so Blue Happy. I spent the better part of NYE frustrated and put out. New years day played out the same way. I was frustrated over words that have been spoken to me and about me over the past few weeks. I let others impose their thoughts of me and how I handle my life-like a dagger in my heart. I’m many things competitive, compulsive, creative, hard-headed with a touch of love and caring. I don’t always allow others to give me advice but I do love to give it. I’m pushy when my head is set on something and well I most of the time think my way or no way. When I do love I love hard and deep, but when I don’t trust I will push you away. My circle of people is small and breaking in can be difficult if ever possible. At the end of this first day of 2019 I’m settled in who I am. I’m settle with how I live my life. With that said I will never settle for the norm or the easy. I will always pick the road less traveled and the journey that requires a climb. I will live each and every moment of this year with intent. It’s one thing to make plans but another to rise with intent and conquer the day. Allow your year to rise with intent and expectations that you know are yours.

There are always so many expectations about a new year. For weeks people make plans, resolutions and proclaim new beginnings. I heard everything from workout, pay off my debt, organize my house and the all repeated lose weight. On the Friday before New Years Eve in the early morning hours of my gym workout I was asked that all dreaded questions. What are your resolutions for the new year? I had already thought this through way before that day. I really don’t make resolutions for myself. I did many years ago and they always ended the same every year. Haunting me the entire year causing guilt, frustration and heart-break. So when ask I had one thing to say, one answer that made all the sense in the world. I just want to pray more, that’s all just pray more. That answer was met with, no really what is your resolutions. I responded no really that’s it PRAY WAY MORE! Then I was met with a smile and wow okay you go girl. It might seem a bit lame of a resolution to some but for me prayer has been the back bone of my past year more than ever in my life. I have prayed more each day with intent and without stopping for people and moments in my life this year. When looking back to revisit my year prayer is what has gotten me through.

Blue Happy has seen a successful year with Doc Holliday’s and opening up in 3 more stores. Never would I have believed this time last year that I would soon be driving to Waco to load and fill 3 store spaces to move Blue Happy forward. Well here we are making at least 2 runs a week down south of Dallas to BoHo Buffalo, Junky Monkey and Cameron’s Trading. It is a struggle to keep up with it all. It’s a struggle to keep inventory. Every minute of my day and night are scheduled with something to keep my life and this business going. Grateful is such a small word to place on what a huge blessings this has been.

Day one of this new year finds Greg, Heather and I making plans for what is coming down this Blue Happy pipeline. I wish I could just spill all the beans but they want to let me. I can tell you this year, blogs will be full of more home improvement, how to improve what you have with a small to nothing budget and most of all lots and lots of redo’s of all kinds of things. On the big news side of things there is something coming this month. This news is a game changer for me personally. I’m walking in faith on this one so keep those prayers coming. Down the road BHL will be at the spring celebration in Waco March 14,15 &16th. If you’re coming to Waco for spring break come find me. I’ll post more information as we get closer.

So much is happening and you don’t want to miss out so keep up with the blog. I’ll let you know as I’m allowed to let out information. Heather and Greg are so bossy at times but I love the way they take care of things on the Blue Happy home front. I’ll be over here praying for you all as the year gets underway. We all need that little extra prayer so pray with me (Matthew 18:20) Happy New Year to all!
