Happy Friday!! I have so many things to be grateful about today:
New Justin Bieber album is out!
I have a nail appointment today!
I get to shop with my friend that I haven’t seen in a while!
I work at a job where my bosses are flexible and appreciative!
I woke up in good health next to the love of my life!
Wow what a day!! Wishing everyone a happy Friday and happy weekend!!
Letting go is the hardest “easiest” thing to do.
Staying in your lane and minding your business will keep you sane.
Life will always have struggles, so make sure you take time to prioritize joy.
It’s eclipse season so everything is going to feel chaotic and heavy, but it’s all going to be worth it.
Share a story about the furthest you’ve ever traveled from home.
I read this prompt and immediately thought of the few Caribbean cruises I’ve been on since those were definitely when I was furthest away from home. I have so many good memories of these cruises with my husband and his family, but one of my favorites is from when we went to Grand Turk. We did an all inclusive excursion that had unlimited rum and cokes, so my husband (boyfriend at the time), and I were determined to get our money’s worth LOL.
After we were done with the excursion, I wanted to grab a souvenir for one of my friends back home! We went into a shop and I grabbed a cute little container with sand and shells in it that said Grand Turk (I think?) and called it a day. Once we were back home and I was unpacking and getting all of the gifts together, I realized that the cute little souvenir I got for my friend had a name on it… and it 100% was NOT my friend’s name (LMFAO)!
Obviously I couldn’t just turn around and head back to the shop to grab a new item with her name on it, so I ended up having to give my friend that souvenir and explain to her why it said Katherine on it when her name is Alexis. 😂 Overall not the end of the world and is a hilarious story today, but I learned that I should definitely do my shopping when I am NOT intoxicated!
Went back to work today! I worked skipped lunch and just worked 7-2pm which was nice. I’m very grateful for my job and the flexibility I have with my schedule! I got all of the insurance checks in, my follow up calls done, and several pre-estimates called on, so it was a productive day for sure!
I’m glad I got some time to myself today- sometimes I really wish I could work remotely because I would be so much more productive if I didn’t have anyone bothering me at work. I’m always happy to be helpful with work stuff, but sometimes I feel like some people just want to vent and waste time.
What’s worse is no matter how much I don’t participate and tell this person to just stay out of it and focus on her own work or go talk to the bosses, she just keeps venting and telling me everything about her day. I don’t have any authority anyways, but I literally am always so much more productive when she isn’t there!
I have told the bosses a bit about her being distracting, and I’ve never pushed the work from home thing because I figured I’d want to ask for that privilege if/when it’s time to have children. I’m going to see how the rest of this year goes and maybe I’ll ask for a work from home day for 2026. Either way, I love my job and am grateful to have the job I do and I have to remember that!
Alright with that I’m off to enjoy my evening, but I wanted to share this cute little digital vision board I made with some images from Pinterest! I really like how it turned out!
May September bring a calmness to your life, allowing you to slow down and be present.
May September show you that miracles can happen and there truly is magic in the world around you.
May September bring abundance and luck around every corner, surprising and inspiring your inner child.
May September allow you to soak in all that you’ve created and all that you have accomplished over the past few years.
You have evolved, and you will continue to evolve. The breakdowns have lead to breakthroughs. The hardships have strengthened your boundaries. You aren’t a never-ending project that needs fixing, you’re a unique, powerful being that deserves to love yourself in the same way that you love everyone else. May September open your eyes to that.
Last night my high school BFF slept over! We watched movies, ate snacks, and did some spooky crafts! It was so nice to just unwind and have fun! We also went and grabbed some coffee this morning and walked around the little downtown area which was nice! Now my husband and I are headed to breakfast and she went home to enjoy the rest of her Sunday! I’m so grateful for weekends like these!
What was the last thing you searched for online? Why were you looking for it?
I was looking up places to board my diabetic cat for when my husband and I take a trip to Florida! I found a place that will give take her in and give her the insulin shots! I feel so bad because she’s probably gonna think we’re giving her up, but she’ll realize that’s not the case once we come back to pick her up after a couple of days! Then hopefully she will remember that for future vacations. I just don’t have anyone I know who can give her shots at our home twice a day, and I know I could hire someone from Rover or something but I don’t trust strangers in our home either.
How would you design the city of the future?
Less buildings, more fields and farms.
What motivates you?
What motivates me?
The divine magic of the world that can be found all around us.
In sunrises and sunsets.
In clear night skies.
In a field of sunflowers.
In the sand, listening to the waves.
In the woods with the trees rustling in the breeze.
In the signs and synchronicities that appear in the moments that they’re needed the most.
The magic of the world is my motivation.
What we focus on multiplies; we have more control over our reality than we think.
We all have an angel team on the other side, guiding and nudging us towards a higher purpose.
People will always have opinions- block out the outside noise.
Anxiety tricks you into thinking you can “prepare” for the worst, but in reality it’s just robbing you of your present joy.
