Friday's Lovelies

Love the above video so much, learn more about graFEETi here! Melissa posted Amy's Positive Pranking video on Wednesday which is just as good! Amy Rocks!

I don't watch much TV, like at all, but I could watch Kate's Glimpse TV all the live long day, check out her latest with Bindu Wiles : How many bras do we really need? Love it!

Speaking of TV, True Blood = the only show I really watch-- & only 210 or so days until Season 4 starts! Haha, I say this because True Blood was in the news this week with some intel on season 4 - excited! I miss Jessica's updates too!

Etsy's front page is always stunning, yesterday morning I was introduced to Alona Freeman's work by way of this this necklace & I've been lovin' on Dolan Geiman's work for quite some time, this piece is so incredible! His work inspires me so much!

15 ideas & tutorials for your crafty pumpkins <--- love this post, so many awesome ideas! I think I am going to get my paints out tonight! Want your heart strings to be pulled in that ever-so-good way? Watch Michelle's video. I am so excited for her & also, so proud to know her.

We love our Teething Bonbons over here, here's proof but with the Hyland's Teething Tablet recall this past week, they are gettin' all kinds of lovins! While we're on the natural care for your baby train, can I just tell you how much Green Mountain Diapers rock too? We needed (even though I was in denial about & hoping we didn't need to due to potty learning) to order toddler-sized diapers - well, they got here in 48 hours, amazing.

Just Begin

Registration is still open for The Declaration of You! Join in on the fun with Amanda and I (and Pierre François Frédéric -- oh la la!) as we get down & dirty with declaring, to ourselves and others, why we're special, what moves us, and so much more. I'm really having so much fun with this e-course, exploring what different words mean to me, making art, connecting with so many amazing people. It's all sortsa AMAZEBALLS.

Heather's giving away this awesome freebie printable coloring page in honor of her one-year art anniversary! Big congrats to you, Heather!

The most important thing is asking what’s the most important thing.

It's ok to be awesome.

Tara's talking about playing hooky & how that ended up creating action.



Have an awesome HALLOWEEN weekend lovelies!

Happy November! Free Desktop Wallpapers & a Whole Lotta Danielle LaPorte Love!

Good Afternoon Lovelies! So excited to share these awe-inspiring Desktop Wallpapers with you today! Yes, we're sending this month's wallpapers out a few days early, but for good reason! If you've been a fan of KOM for awhile you know that we adore Danielle LaPorte of White Hot Truth (ummm, who doesn't, right?) She has been such a huge inspiration to us & I'm sure, to so many of you too.

She so graciously gave us permission to use a few of her Trusims for our wallpapers this month. Heaps of Gratitude & Love to her! Scroll down for the goodness!




There is honest weight behind this next bit:

Kind Over Matter is really proud to be one of Danielle's affiliates. The Fire Starter Sessions totally rocked our creative & entrepreneurial minds. My experience with Fire Starter Sessions goes a little something like this: The Sessions came out right around the time my littlest dude was born - insert lots of time in bed, nursing him into happy, milky dreams - during this time I devoured the book. It was like crawling through the innards of Danielle's beautiful & genius mind, & then coming out so full of love, light & knowledge that I was bursting at the seams. She set ablaze this enormous fire inside of me, so intense that nothing could possibly tame it. One phrase, among so many, that will forever be embedded in the marrow of my bones is this : Know how you want to feel & do whatever it takes to feel that way. That was such an AHA moment for me - I looked down at my little dude, all hazy, coming out his milk coma & thought, I have to do this for him, I have to set an outstanding example for both my kids. That is when I truly started to take the steps to take KOM to the next level -with all the tips, tricks & know-how that I took away from the FSS. It was a beautiful thing & the gratitude I have for Danielle runs so deep.

We've always been open, honest & transparent with you... So, this week she is showering her affiliates with some serious love by upping the percentage affiliates receive for each sale. That means if you purchase either the full-tilt Fire Starter Sessions or the bite-sized chapter True Strengths + the Metrics of Ease, KOM will get half of what you pay - for real? Yes, for real.

Quick shout out for True Strengths + the Metrics of Ease -- at $20 it's an absolute steal, right? It's worth soooo much more than that, seriously, click this link to see all the goodies you will receive!

So if you've been wanting to buy it, now is the time! You will be supporting Danielle's awesomeness & us --- & you will not regret all the knowledge & passion you will pull away from this book, seriously. After purchasing, you too, can become an affiliate & Danielle truly treats us right. Click here to set your dreams into motion!

So if you have a business already, or an idea that you'd like to set afire, what are you waiting for?!

French Kiss Life, your soul is rooting for you & so are we!
The world is waiting for you to shine!




With Love, Enjoy!

greet every day with love in your heart

Sun Salutation, originally uploaded by NamWizard.

I will greet this day with love in my heart. For this is the greatest secret of success in all ventures. Muscles can split a shield and even destroy life itself but only the unseen power of love can open the hearts of man. And until I master this act I will remain no more than a peddler in the marketplace. I will make love my greatest weapon and none on who I call can defend upon its force... my love will melt all hearts liken to the sun whose rays soften the coldest day.

Question : What is your favorite part of autumn?

Journeyman, originally uploaded by Stina Stockholm.

Question : What is your favorite part of autumn?

My favorite parts are the way the air smells, the light becoming softer, leaves crunching underneath my feet. I love layering up my clothes and that subtle shift inside me that craves hot tea. I love how the random warm days bring so much joy into my heart, they're such unexpected gifts. I really like having veggie chili sit in my crockpot for hours & the way the whole house smells yummy. I like how I can find joy in autumn again, I think that means the most.

what will you declare?

Tell yourself this:

declaration #2, originally uploaded by prettyfnmess.

I made the above declaration yesterday for the awetastic Declaration of You eCourse that Jessica Swift & Michelle Ward are holding over the next month. I know we have mentioned the Course here before & have been sportin' their button on our sidebar for awhile now but I am so completely smitten with it since starting that I had to share it with all of you (& who I am kidding Pierre François Frédéric is a lady's man, just take a look below - be still my heart!) This is my first ever eCourse, so if you've never taken one before, no fear, Jess & Michelle are taking really great care of us.

If you'd like to get in on the fun we're having over there YOU STILL CAN! Registration closes Sunday, October 31 though, so hurry! Let yourself discover what it is you want, you believe, you desire, & is true for you - & have a frickin' BLAST doing it!
