Awesome Quest Challenge I

Awesome Quest Challenge I: Part of being Awesome for me is pushing myself out of my comfort zone. My comfort zone sure is comfortable, but not terribly enjoyable. There are a lot of things I hold myself back from. How can you take a step out of that zone this week? What have you been holding yourself back from? 

There's a common thread among hoarders and clutterers: a fear of doing it wrong keeps us from doing it at all.  I'd rather my house be judged by what I don't do than by what I do wrong. Somewhere inside me, that has made sense for a long time & justified many hours of escape from what I should be doing.  Part of Awesome Quest 2011 (AQ11) for me, is stepping outside of those excuses and having the Awesome Home in reality that I have in my fantasy.  

  • Daily dishwashing
  • Chalkboard paint on cupboards (still in progress, Red coat #286 coming soon!)
  • Chicken Coop acquired & mostly primed
  • Plans for Chicken Coop TARDIS Painting & Police Box Signage
  • First Coil Pot in Pottery 101, plans for Berry Bowl & lidded jars 
  • Plans for mailbox remodel
  • Fun times, fully engaged, with all three+ kids 
  • 4 pieces of art for daVinci Days
  • Clarification in messy relationship ending
  • Laundry pile down to actual pile from mountain
  • Hammock in the TREE! 
  • You Are AWESOME outreach posters (5 variations created)
  • Love & attention to Garden 
What I've earned from this is Awesome beyond measure... Not only do I feel more at home in a Home that feels like, well, HOME, I feel more me. I am pretty Awesome. It's time I start remembering that on a momentary basis. We're all happier when I do :)  When mama ain't feelin' her Awesome, ain't NOBODY feeling her Awesome ♥
...and more (most?!) importantly:
When Mama's feelin' her Awesome, 
EVERYBODY feels Awesome! ♥

I love what you're doing to lay claim to your home, and I can't imagine a Diana abode that wasn't filled with sparkles, sunshine and wonderful quirk. The rest is incidental.
