What I’m Into Right Now

May 5, 2016 whitneyenglish 3 Comments

WhatImInto_Blog_042716

A few things I’m into right now:

SEE: Less of my phone screen — I’m trying to disconnect some more. I’d much rather look at faces than phone screens, but it takes conscious effort. So I’ve made this an intentionality of mine lately.

READ:  Grace Based Parenting — Amazing grace, how sweet the sound… This book is helping me understand how to receive God’s grace in new ways, so I can in turn extend it to my family. 

HEAR:  Bruno Mars Station on Pandora — Because… Bruno Mars. That voice, those beats… You can’t help but start to dance.

WATCH:  The Big Short — This is more of a feel-furious movie than a feel-good one. But it’s so well-done, and absolutely worth watching. It’s insightful, informative, and eye-opening. 

Do_010716DO:  Something for myself — Before we know it, school will be out and the hectic summer will be upon us. I want to encourage all of us to take time just for ourselves before that happens.

    SEE: “seeing less of my phone screen” yes, this one is a BIG challenge, it’s worth it, because I find that I get distracted by all of the pretty pictures ALL the time. But for me I want to see more of my creativity, I get so caught up in work and having social media presence that I forget there is so much more beauty and creativity to explore.

    READ: Currently, I’m reading None Like Him by Jen Wilkin, Jesus Calling and Becoming Myself.

    HEAR: Birds chirping/singing. I love listening to the sounds of mother nature, the most vibrant sounds I hear are the birds, they wake me in the morning, sing to me all day and as of late, the raindrops on the roof. So peaceful.

    WATCH: I binge watch my shows once a week, so I’m currently catching up on Scandal, Rosewood, Blindspot, and my eldest daughter and I are on the final episode of the final season of American Idol. I’ll have to finish that episode tomorrow morning, totally forgot.

    DO: Something for myself — Hmmm… Yes… This is a tricky one, I try to DO something for myself every week, just one thing, a long shower, put on make up, buy myself that special little something, cook myself a great lunch… Lately, I’ve been embracing the selfie, so hard, I hide from the camera, I’m hoping to create a selfie album for the month of May.

    Thank you for this so, you’ve inspired me, mind if I share this/something similar on my blog?
