Before I had this beautiful mid-century dresser (which I received for FREE from Freecycle) I was making due with a collection of ugly cardboard and plastic storage systems. This was all fine and dandy when they were tucked nicely away in my closet. When I redesigned my closet, they had to come out, but I was still in need of their storage use. Of course it was mortifying for me to have these hideous storage systems out in the open, so a few minutes later, using only what I already had and repurposing a shelf, curtain and some fabric, I turned hideous into happy, resulting in a lovely console table/dresser.
Here is the video, complete with my own personal goofy personality touch!
For those of you who don’t know, I am the Seattle Green Interiors columnist with Examiner.com. Our recent newsletter addressed the recent disaster in Haiti and how the Examiner is helping, and how you can help our world family across the seas, even without spending money.
Excerpt from our Examiner.com newsletter:
On Jan. 12, Haiti was struck by the largest earthquake the island nation has ever seen. The Red Cross estimates that45,000-50,000 people have died as a result of the 7.0 quake. As rescue workers dig through the aftermath for survivors, millions are left homeless in the Western Hemisphere’s poorest country.
Examiner.com has published a resource page full of information on this catastrophic event that includes ongoing coverage and information on how individuals can contribute to the relief efforts in Haiti:
- You can simply text “HAITI” to 90999 to donate $10 to the Red Cross’ Haiti relief initiative.
- For ongoing Examiner.com coverage of this devastating event, you can subscribe to this RSS feed.
- Examiner.com is also donating to the cause with contributions to Doctors Without Borders and the Red Cross. Click here for the press release and more information.
Our hearts and thoughts go out to the millions of people affected by this horrific situation.
Blessings to all,
Amy
As a part of my quest to help you all attract, nourish and rekindle the love you deserve and dream of, I am building a wealthy toolbox to assist you on your own quest.
Sometimes these tools are poetry. Whether it touches your soul, moves you to share it with a beloved or to court the one you have your eye on, poetry is the magical language of Spirit moving through the speaker. Let it take you on a journey…
It happens all the time in Heaven
It happens all the time in heaven,
And some day
It will begin to happen
Again on earth -
That men and women who are married,
And men and men who areLovers,
And women and women
Who give each other Light,
Often will get down on their knees
And while so tenderly
Holding their lover’s hand,
With tears in their eyes,
Will sincerely speak, saying,
“My dear,
How can I be more loving to you;
How can I be more
Kind?”
- Hafiz
It’s Christmas morning and I hope everyone is where they want to be, with whom they want to be with, or will be soon!
If the holiday season gives you the bah humbugs rather than the ho ho ho’s, you can create a whole new meaning to this time of year by creating your own traditions to practice that are nurturing and fun to you.
As I’m waiting for everyone to wake up in this neck of the woods, I thought I’d share a little introspection into my life this winter…
I’ve been slowing down in conjunction with the season and spending a lot of my personal time going inward. More time sleeping as well because I just feel like I need it. I’m listening to what my body wants and asks for and honoring that, rather than feeling like I need to be going here or there because it’s the season to be doing so. I certainly have attended some holiday gatherings, and I have been careful to not overload myself on them as well. It’s been a most rewarding season.
However you are spending this time of year, make sure to take time out for you and appreciate yourself for all that you are and all that you have. We tend to get caught up in the gift giving thing a lot, when what is really most important is simply appreciating life in general and all the gifts that it brings us. Life is rich with gifts when we have our eyes open wide enough to see them!
I’ll be taking a break from EcoKind Design for the rest of this year. Thank you for each way you have contributed to my business and the support you have offered. YOU MATTER! Be good to yourself and stay warm and safe.
Have a lovely remaining 2009. See you in 2010!
Brightest blessings,
Amy
