Little Bliss List 3.16.12!

Woohoo it’s a beautiful Friday! Did anyone else have a week that just flew by? Mine sure did and maybe it’s because it was packed with some pretty cool stuff!

Here’s my Little Bliss List from this warm week of March!

1. Loving the sweet and sad music from First Aid Kit

First Aid Kit is a folk sister duo from Sweden (ahh—my homeland!).

I just love their Americana harmonies. It takes me right to driving on a wide road on a hot summer day out west. BLISS!

2. Running off that winter layer

The weather has taken a turn towards summer in Minnesota and that means more time outside.

A few girlfriends (and my husband) and I have decided to train for a 5K. A few of us have found help by using a really cool app: C25K (Couch to 5K). It takes you through simple series of runs (3X/week for 8 weeks) all the way to an official 5K. It feels great to try something new and do something good for your body too.

And the best part: it’s free on both iPhone and Android.

3. Speaking of running—I’m now running in style!

I had an early birthday celebration with my Dad and Step-Mom and they gifted me some awesome running gear from Athleta!

I got an awesome pair of pants (above: for running/training/yoga), a running jacket and shirt. I’m such a bargain shopper that I’ve always bought workout clothes from Target or Old Navy (I still love my gear from here), but there is something extra special about Athleta. I really could live in these workout clothes—very comfortable, wearable and cute!

4. Messages from my angels

A few times this week I had some serendipitous things happen that I see as “good omens.”

First—after a meeting with my Mom about a big project we’re working on, I jumped in my car to go home and “September” by Earth Wind & Fire came on the radio. I can’t speak much about why this is significant yet—but it’s going to be BIG! Can’t wait!

Second—I have been asking for a lot of help when it comes to increasing my financial wealth. Yesterday, while on a walk with Bryan and little Frankie (my puggle), we found a dollar! Hey…it’s something…and a good sign!

Lastly—I had a great dinner with a new friend last night at the Sample Room in Minneapolis. It’s such a fun feeling to connect and converse with someone so similar to you. When we were leaving and walked out into the dark Minneapolis night, I knew I had dreamt this exact scene before. I LOVE that feeling…I guess dreams do come true…very fun!
