7 Reasons Why Winter's Awesome!

2/18/2014

I am not going to lie to you, I'm not a big fan of winter! Never have been; I love my summer dresses, shorts, and short skirts waaay too much. Plus, I get cold super easily! So I'm always the one shivering and complaining about being freezing, year round.
But this year, I decided something. I decided that instead of being completely miserable for an entire winter, I was going to embrace it! Of course it had to end up being the coldest winter in 30 years, but I still embraced it! While others were complaining about the cold (non-stop it seemed!), I was making sure that I was bundled up at all times, wearing my snuggie in my car, and looking for good things about the winter! I ended up with this list. Most of them are silly, but the point is, that I have enjoyed this winter so much more than I usually do! And that is because looking for the good in things will always make you happier!
So here is my "7 Reasons Why Winter is Awesome!"

1. I left a cup of milk in my car the other day.
It stayed in my car for almost two weeks. And it didn't smell! And even better, after two weeks of being in my car, the cup inevitably fell out of my cup-holder, but because it was frozen into a solid chunk of ice, it didn't spill all over my carpet! Yaaay!

2. I get to wear my fabulous looking coats!
One reason I don't like winter is because coats always hide my fabulous outfits. So I decided that I just need to get fabulous looking coats! Problem solved!

3. I can be a sweatpants-wearing hermit for two months straight- and no one can say anything!
This is one of my favorites! I loooove being by myself. During the summer you can't hide away in your house, or people start to wonder if you're ok, but do the same thing in winter (and add snuggly sweatpants!), and it's fine! Yessssssss! Fuzzy sweatpants, fuzzy socks, netflix, and crafting all winter for me please!

4. One word; Boots!
Ugg Boots, Combat Boots, Converse Boots, Fur Boots, Knee high boots, Hooker Boots, Herman Munster Boots, Moon Boots, oh yes, I looooove my Boots!

5. I can buy perishable groceries before work...
And just leave them in my car until I get home 7 hours later! I just did this the other day, and it made me sooo thankful for winter! Especially because I work at night, and grocery stores are closed by the time I get done!

6. Shave my legs? Psh! Not during winter!
(or at least not as often!) All you girls can relate with me on this one!

and lastly, my favorite thing about winter;
7. Once summer finally does show up, I am so grateful for it!
And all because of winter! When winter is ending, it's like magic! I have forgotten what it's actually like to be warm, and the whole process of re-juvination, and new life, and new warmness, is just absolutely MAGIC! None of that would be possible without winter!!!

So try to embrace, and be thankful, and get on out there and enjoy what little of winter we have left!

Peace Love and Winter

World Changing Wednesdays Pt. 5; Funding your World Changing!

2/11/2014

0 Comments

Hello dear ones! Welcome back to World Changing Wednesdays!
Since I haven't posted a WCW post in over a month, I wanted to go over real quick the previous WCW challenges, and for those of you who are new here, go over what WCW is all about!
In my first World Changing Wednesdays Post, I wrote about what I want to accomplish from this movement. I wrote about how we can change the world! And we will! So go here to read that if you haven't already!
It was in my second post, that I told you that I know that sometimes it can be difficult to know where to actually start; how to actually go about changing the world, and touching people's lives. I shared with you the most basic, yet probably the most important thing you can do to start creating miracles all around you. If you do this, there is no stopping your potential! Read all about that here. This step is extremely important!
I then presented to you a challenge; the challenge to be always willing, and always open, so
that when you're presented with an opportunity, you'll recognize it! A lot of us are so pre-occupied with our own lives, our own dramas, and our own struggles, that it completely blocks our vision to others. You will find that when you stop worrying about yourself so much, and start thinking of others, that that is when your eyes and heart will truly be opened to the needs and struggles of those around you. And this is when you will find opportunities.
So I challenged you to go into your daily lives with your eyes and heart open for available opportunities to create change. I told you 5 great places to start; Work, Restaurants, Your
neighborhood, Your home, and School.
My fourth WCW post was written on the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr's "I have a Dream" Speech. You can read that here.

Now that you've learned how to be open for opportunities, and have practiced looking for opportunities, I will start sharing with you concrete, holistic ways to create change! Yay!

The first Method I will be sharing with you, is how you can fund your World Changing Quest, because let's face it, using your money is a huge way you can change the life of a person, and this world.

This is my 10% Method.

It's really very simple. All I do is this; whenever I make money, I take 10% of it, and put it into my 10% envelope. This is the money that I use to sponsor children living in third world countries, and give gifts of love and encouragement to people living around me who need it.
And that is it!
That is how I fund my world changing!
I put 10% in my envelope when I make tips at work, and all the money that I make here on this website. It's really that simple.
Now you might be thinking, "I make $30,000 a year, that's $3,000 in my 10% envelope! I don't want to put that much in, that's a lot of money!" I want to address that statement, because it can be very easy to look at all the money you're putting in that envelope and freak out because it's not going towards buying anything for yourself, paying for your bills, or saving for your future. I used to catch myself thinking that I would just have so much more money if I didn't put 10% of it toward the greater good. But I want to encourage you to just try it. First of all, 10% really isn't that much! If you do make $30,000 a year, and put $3,000 in your 10%, you still have $27,000! Secondly, you will find, that when you stop focusing on yourself, and start giving away your money, not only will you feel incredibly amazing (you won't be able to spend $3,000 any other way that will make you feel this good, that's a promise!!!), but you will find, that the more money you give away, the more money will find it's way to you! I really don't have any scientific facts about this or anything, but it really does seem to work that way! When you start giving away 10% of your money to help people, you will find that it really doesn't make a dent in your finances, and you will be richer than you were before! I know it definitely works this way for me; when I start feeling stingy with my money, and don't put 10% of it away because I'm so worried about not having enough, that is when I start having money problems!!!

What to do with your 10% Money.

The possibilities are endless!
I don't want to just tell you what to do with your money, because changing the world means something different to every person! So sit and think about what changing the world really means to you, and what you want to put your hard-earned money towards. In my next WCW post I will give you a bunch of ideas of what you can do with your newfound world changing money!
Until then, get an envelope and on it write 10% money, world changing fund, or whatever you want, and then start putting money in it! You can also start a list of ways you would like to spend it! I'm not going to post the next WCW post for a couple weeks, because I want you to have a good amount of money saved up, so after you read the post you can start putting that money to great use!

Peace Love and WCW
Jess <3
