I think that every so often it’s important to reassess. Please take a second to let me know what you’d like to see more of on Undeniable Style. Comments welcome, too!

well. judging from my absence you can probably tell i’m a little stressed…and i must have bad karma or something because today has not been my day!

  1. Instead of sleeping in I woke up at 8:30 and could not fall back asleep.
  2. Went to the grocery store and spent some cash on the ingredients to make toffee for a brunch I am attending tomorrow, and then ruined the toffee in the process of actually making it (which means I either have to forgo the effort altogether, or wake up early tomorrow to try it again).
  3. Ran the water to get in the shower to get ready for my company holiday party, got in the shower to find a pretty much complete lack of hot water. Nothing like a cold shower to get your blood flowing.

The list could go on. But, I’m willing my bad mood away! Good things that have happened this past week:

  1. 2 more custom quilt projects requested!!
  2. ice skating and dinner with some of my favorite people.
  3. hanging out in general with the hottest man alive.
  4. mani/pedi with my bff. (i got “glove you so much” and she got “merry crimson”…gotta love opi)
  5. oh, and I’m featured on a lovely photography blog!

So really, from a quantitative perspective, the positives outweigh the negatives…and now I’m ready for a night on the town!

I know I promised you something really exciting last week, but then I got super sick with this horrible cold, cough, congestion thing. It’s seriously disgusting. Anyway, this post is delayed…but here’s my excitement.

  1. I’ve made a major decision to combine my blogs. I feel like most of you already know I’m really into crafting/quilting/all things handmade…and up until this point I’ve been saving katefranco.com for that kind of stuff. Well, to be honest, I’ve had it with updating in two places. And I’ve been really in to some new {to me} blogs that combine interests, so, from now on there will be some varied and scattered posts on my adventures in crafting. I hope you don’t mind.
  2. AND, I’ve taken on a new copy writing project that I’m really excited about…but more on that later.
  3. FINALLY, I’m so happy to announce that undeniablestyle will have it’s first regular guest blogger, the ever-talented and effervescent, Ashley Summers. Welcome Ash!

To be continued, friends. I’m so excited!

Gratitude

by Kate on November 2, 2009

in Play.,Uncategorized

I read an interesting article today about gratitude, and how it actually makes your life less stressful. Since everyone could use a little less stress, I thought I would give it a shot and see what happens.

Instructions:

Decide on a journal and a framework.
check. i’m here, aren’t i?

Commit to a schedule.
check. well, i kind of blog almost every day, anyway. {though not lately…hate to admit that i’m uninspired}

Keep writing.
wow. is it that simple??

So…now…3 things i feel grateful for today:
