Today has been a pretty laid back day.
I have been working on ideas for candlemaking and I think the most excitement we had today was a trip to the playground.
My phone has been making a timelapse video since 2:00 of a candle I made burning. I want to see how long it takes for one to completely burn out so when people ask me how long they burn I can give an honest answer.
I am doing the timelapse video for fun...
Tomorrow I will be ordering a lot more wax and some new scents and I am really excited about it.
Earlier on Facebook I shared a quote from this book I have been trying to finish reading called Live What you Love, and I like it so much I am going to share it in my blog:
"To live a life you love is more than just putting in time, earning money, and coexisting with people. It is to live a life with passion, significance, and meaning. We believe in good guys, we believe in each other, family, and second families. Together we value dreams, decisions, and action. Our life is a series of positive acts with purpose.
Life is to be lived and loved. It is more than accepting the expectation for the common life. Together we insist on living our dreams and thereby loving our life. It you truly live what you love, you are rebelling against the common life. You are choosing the unusual over the usual! "
It does take a little bit of creative thinking and sometimes a little bit of a fight, but you don't have to live an ordinary life, and you don't have to listen to those people who are going to tell you have to-- because there will be those who tell you have to.
And by all means, if you love to go to work and live a "common life" then more power to you! Live the life that you love. I just want to encourage all my fellow "weirdos," artists, adventurers, free spirits, and rebels to take that chance in life.
Quit waiting for it. Don't be afraid of failure. Failure is not permanent unless you choose to let it win and give up. Do what you love now!!! Because you never know when your time on our earth is up.
Live the life you love and love your life.
I love all of you guys.
Good night.
Please keep praying for our world. Pray for our country. Pray for my family. Pray for me. Pray for you! And always always pray for my sweet Elijah.
Thank you!
Look at that sweet boy with that silly smirk.
Oh I love and miss you so much.
Always.
