The Projects for 2023... | Judith C. Labert
I just created a list of alllll the different projects that I am very ambitiously planning for in 2023. It is a tall order but I am hoping that at least a majority of them are able to be completed before the year is over!

My projects are mostly house projects. Everything from putting in our new flooring to getting our patio in order to be able to enjoy the outside space much more in the upcoming year. I ordered a patio set for setting and a pergola to go over the pad where our hot tub used to be.... (that was a removal project on our list for quite some time and finally was removed this year!). This past year felt... Weird. I am not sure why. We normally have more projects and outside time and this year, there was not much happening around here. I painted inside our house, making the living room and kitchen brighter. That is about all.
While that has been a HUGE change in brightening up our space, I am looking forward to having new (lighter) floors added and little changes that can go a long way, like the replacing of our front door and front porch light fixture. We have new garage door openers that don't work- they need to be working! Our fireplace needs a makeover- probably a coat of paint and a slab of wood for a new mantle. We have doors I want to replace and outdated hardware in some of the rooms in the house. Our bed frame is... creaky and wobbly. It is pretty but I am over it so I ordered a new bed frame that will also be set up... after the flooring goes in!

Then there is the outdoor space. I feel like our outside has been neglected. I had a cute little palm tree that has sadly died... and our yard is a bit overgrown. I want it to be a cozy space and allow the plants to grow and thrive! I cannot tell you the number of plants that have died in my yard! Including my garden. I am focused on not allowing that this next year! 

I feel like I am at a place that physically I can handle more projects and mentally? Yes. I NEED the space to be cozy. I spend a lot of time in my house and I want to love it. I want to be outside anytime the sun is shining in the summer months and I need a happy place to be. 

A part of me felt a touch selfish, thinking of all the projects I want to prioritize this upcoming year. It is not a lot of money but it requires time. I have a husband who is busy with work and often working more than he should. (I know... "Should"). But I need projects to break up my life. My home and work is where I am. If I am working from home, I need to create a happy place. I want to love my space and want my girls to be cozy here too. I am tired of being a "work in progress" all the time. 

Maybe that is because I am a work in progress... and I don't need my space to be either. Something might as well be "done" and if it can't be me.... ;)  

My journey will be another post but I think that is my goal. Finding success in some area and feeling accomplished. Perhaps it is overcompensating for the areas that I don't feel success or accomplishment but it is a way to support my mission.

I am excited to be able to show progress along the way... 

Stay tuned..... 

What projects-home or garden-do you have in mind for your space in the next year?! DAFWF0qUrf4

Meet Judith C. Labert

 
Hello! Welcome
Thanks so much for coming by! 

I used to be a body builder and gym-nut- But the "perfect storm" of events ended up disrupting my physical, mental and emotional health, creating imbalanced hormones, weight gain and a loss of self. I have struggled with Chronic Fatigue and negative emotions, such as self-loathing. Through my own journey, coupled with my professional training, I have learned many tools like the power of using Conscious Language and have expanded my knowledge about how emotions and language impact the body, how our environment contributes to our health and the body's well being, and how mindset matters! As I have improved my health and regained my sense of self, I am now on a mission! In this world, with all the emotional (and physical!) pains, I commit myself to helping other's learn and grow to be better, healthier versions of themselves. I am always learning about how to live a plant based, non toxic, chemical free life so that we can live out best lives!!

 As a professional, I am a licensed Mental Health/Art Therapist and Certified Life Coach. I work with a lot of folks who experience various degrees of trauma and anxiety. I value the amazing tools that I have learned-and continue to learn- that are effective in helping the clients I serve! I am an art therapist and I use aroma and apply a variety of integrative approaches in a holistic model with all my clients. I am a Christian practitioner and believe in the power of faith and in the capabilities of the amazing bodies we live in!

 
In my therapy practice, I specialize in trauma and addiction, as well as being a Registered Art Therapist. I work with kids of all ages, including adults! I Love using various products and techniques to support my system within my own health and wellness journey and am passionate about incorporating a holistic approach with my clients to better support them in their journey.


As a holistic practitioner, a Certified Mental Health Integrative Medicine Provider and Certified Mental Wellness Coach, I often suggest a variety of product recommendations for my friends, family and clients.  This education provides another tool to help in my supporting you to Live Your Best Life... 
I offer an intro health assessment to those looking for answers to help decide what is the best direction and fit for your needs. I am a Certified Aroma Freedom PractitionerCertified Emotion and Body Code Practitioner and a Certified Oola Life Coach and Mental Wellness Coach- so no matter what your struggle is, I have tools that can help you set goals, support wellness, build your faith and help you find purpose in your life! 

Personally....
I am still healing (it is an on-going journey of health) but am thriving more each day that passes. I am now an International Best Selling Author, as some of my story was published in a book collaboration that was published October 2021! I am a mom of two girls and a wife, a fitness lover and beach explorer. I enjoy a variety of music and love road trips. I wear Chacos and tank tops every day possible! I grew up in Wyoming but love living in the milder climate of Southern Oregon. I lam happy in warm weather and at the beach. I support my husband in his Art and Automotive Restoration business and in his hobby of restoring a '57 Oldsmobile. We are looking forward to taking it on a cross country trip in it when it is complete! We both cherish family and enjoy sharing new experiences together.

 I am excited for you to join me on this journey!
xoxo ~Judith
