Every Friday, the Little Bliss List provides a chance for us to celebrate the little things that brought us hope and happiness this week. I do believe when we focus on the sweet stuff of life, the sweet stuff multiplies. And by sharing those small gifts in our lives, we help others notice the gifts in theirs.
KABOOM! Hope your week’s been one big explosion of bliss! Wednesday was Independence Day here in the U.S. – a vacation day complete with brats and fireworks right in the middle of the week! Sweet! But the week had plenty of other bright spots, too:
Brad and I went out for Sunday brunch together; we sat outside at a French-inspired cafe called Salut. It reminded me of our trip to Paris – the last big trip before we had kids. It was lovely to just watch the world go by and chat for a while. We’ve started doing these brunches more regularly and find those couple of hours over eggs and coffee are an awesome way to reconnect before the start of a new week. Totally worth paying a babysitter for!
Best billboard ever, right? I just swooned over it when I first saw it. And when I posted the picture on Facebook last week, it was so awesome to see all the LIKES and SHARES – seriously fun to see other people get excited about LOVE.
I spent an unusually large amount of time at home this week – meetings-free! Sounded great at first, but I started to go stir crazy. So, one evening, despite it been record-breaking HOT here, I put barefoot Tru in the stroller and went for a walk. It felt so good to just sweat out my cabin fever! I snapped the shot above – and was dazzled by the little ball of light that appeared in the pic.
Yesterday, I did get out and about and treated myself to a scrumptious salad – salmon, asparagus, and lots of other goodness – with a side of sunshine. Yummy.
So, what lit a fire under you this week?

Brunch dates, fun! I remember seeing the billboard on facebook – so great!!! I believe that we have to embrace message from the universe but such a big message, cool!
Everyone loves Cheerios.
My Bliss this week? Despite the ‘sweltering heat’ on the outside, keeping cool on the INSIDE…. Thanks to my Spirit guides.
OH, Liv…I LOVE it all. I saw your pic of that billboard and totally FORGOT to share it and LIKE it…pregnancy brain. lol. we need more of those billboards for sure!! loved your list this week!
Sounds like an awesome week including the much needed down time. I can see where you would begin to grow restless but I’m glad you had the opportunity to unwind a bit.
I totally agree, that billboard says the most important word in the world. We need more love, not fighting and war.
I love the idea of Sunday brunch together! I’d like to start a tradition like that with my husband. It’s a great idea to connect as a couple and make sure we’re on the same page for the upcoming week. Thanks for the idea!
