the tale of 2 women and a kitchen + your thoughts as you drift off to sleep
Happy Friday my friend!
Have you ever noticed your last thoughts before you fall asleep show up as themes in your dreams and are the first thoughts you think about as you awaken?
This week I had that experience!
In this drop, I'll take you behind the scenes ... through a little sneak peak of my thoughts!
Best,

the tale of 2 women and a kitchen
One of my besties bought a new home that needs a little TLC. She loves the location, she loves the price and as she knows I love creating plans to remodel houses, she asked me to come over to check out the space and give her suggestions for her new kitchen.
Wait ... I was being asked to spend the day with one of my favorite people AND have free rein to toss out any creative idea I could come up with?!? I jumped at the opportunity!
Monday I went to the house and we took measurements, discussed what she'd love to have in the space, and how far the new kitchen could extend as the kitchen and living room are one open space. I drew up the preliminary plan the incorporated her brother's (also her contractor) suggestions + the ideas I had come up with, and sent that plan along to her!
Monday night I went to bed feeling happy and excited! I fell asleep thinking about the counter-space though. "How could I move the appliances around to get longer runs of uninterrupted counter-space?"
And you know what?
Tuesday morning I woke up with the idea to move the refrigerator out of the main run + rearrange a few appliances and ... VWALLA! ... there is now a 4 foot run of uninterrupted counter-space ... more than double what was in the 1st design!!!
You all know that is kitchen magic right there!!!
And best of all, when I sent those plans to my friend she was over-the-moon excited about that possibility! She called me right away and told me that I had gotten her creative juices flowing! She took that plan and went a step further to move the island, which allowed the addition of a 2nd pantry!
Even more kitchen magic!
Tuesday night I went to bed feeling even happier and even more excited! I fell asleep thinking "OK, the layout is set. Now, what extra touches can I add to the space to make it really stand out?"
And you know what? Wednesday morning I woke up with more ideas that I passed along!
The kitchen that my friend was previously dreading to have to deal with has become her dream kitchen ... a space that I cannot wait to see + enjoy many cups of coffee there with her!
My friend is now ecstatic! And that is the best magic of all in this tale!!!

your thoughts as you drifted off to sleep
I hope The Tale of 2 Women and a Kitchen reminded you of times when you fell asleep with thoughts and then noticed your brain seemed to be working with those thoughts all night!
It happens! That's how your brain works.
You've had great days that have turned into great weeks and even months, where your brain stayed on the train of your good thoughts!
On the flip side, have you had what you would label "bad days"? When it was difficult to turn off the "bad" thoughts toward others or even worse ... yourself ... and those bad thoughts lingered as you fell asleep? Did those bad days turned into bad weeks ... and possibly even bad months?
Here's the deal. Your brain doesn't care whether your thoughts are happy, excited, creative thoughts or thoughts of anger, hate and destruction? Your brain will stay on the train of thought you are choosing untilyou choose to get off that train!
Look. I get it. Sometimes it's hard to choose to change your thoughts when someone has done something that really tweaks you, that really hurts you, that is so frustrating because it just keeps happening again and again and again! I've been there too!
And I also know that if you have ever gotten oversomething that has happened because of something that someone has done, that you have chosen to get over it! I know this because I've been there also!
How would your life change if you "snap out of it" the next day, by end of day, or better yet within a few minutes?
If you could increase the number of "good days" that you have in a row, would you choose to do it? ... just as I increased the number of inches of uninterrupted countertop in my friends kitchen to more than double by rearranging appliances ... WOOP!
What value would decreasing the number of "bad days" add to you life?
Are you ready for change?
