What change, big or small, would you like your blog to make in the world?
I hope my blog makes people feel seen and heard, whether they see themselves in my writing or it inspires them to start their own blog/journal. I hope it gives people who are struggling with mental health hope and happiness, because I am definitely not the same person I was when I started this blog 5+ years ago. It’s normal for us all to have struggles on our journeys, but what’s important is we keep coming home to ourselves, and I hope my blog helps to remind people of that.
It’s been a little bit of a chaotic week since being back to work, but everything will smooth out soon. I don’t wish to hold any stress in my mind or body, so with this post, I am releasing all of the tension and negative energies I’ve been holding onto. I am refocusing on the gratitude and love in my life, and tuning back in with my self. I’m so grateful to be able to sleep in a comfortable bed next to my favorite human; life truly is great.
I’m so tired today since I went right back to work after this lovely birthday weekend, so instead of writing- here’s a couple pictures from downtown Minneapolis!
Last night I saw Glass Animals in concert with a couple friends and had the best time! I’m tired and sore, but the show was amazing and the merch I got is so cute! I’m so glad we got to do this mini trip, and now I’m ready to go home and cuddle with my husband!
This beautiful Monday I am driving out of state with my friend to meet our other friend and see a concert! It’s so different being up early when you know you’re doing something exciting rather than going to work LOL! I’m just excited for this mini girls trip and this concert, and I’m just praying for safe travels there and back for all of us! I hope everyone has a safe and happy Monday!
Yesterday I got to hang out with some good friends and celebrate my 30th birthday! We all went to the local fair in town and it was so fun to eat fair food and ride rides like a little kid again! I had the best time, and it’s crazy to think that some of the friends I have are friends I’ve had for 15-20 years! It’s just crazy how we all have grown and evolved over the years, yet we’re still here supporting each other. I’m just feeling so happy and blessed and this is definitely one of the highlights of 2025 for me!
I’m curious about if our consciousness (soul?) is truly separate from our bodies. I believe in an after life, but that doesn’t mean I’m correct about there being one, so it’s something I am curious about.
Write about a random act of kindness you’ve done for someone.
I remember when covid started, I got some photos developed and sent letters with pictures to my friends in the mail! It was just a little gesture to say hello and do something old school instead of just sending a text!
Today was such an incredible day. My family from Iowa came out to visit and take me and my husband out for my birthday. They also blessed us with a very generous gift, and I’m beyond grateful for them. I feel just so grateful and lucky honestly, and I am just happy to be present to it all.
My husband and I also went over to visit his family at the farmer’s market! They have a barbecue business and they’re a vendor at the market every Friday, so we decided to stop by and say hi! When we were leaving the market, another vendor selling cute jewelry caught my eye, and I ended up getting a cute evil eye bracelet, ring, and a pair of snake earrings! It was 3 for $30 and I just happened to have $30 cash in my wallet!
Tomorrow I get to see some of my good friends as we all get together to celebrate my birthday!! We’re gonna go to the local fair and I can’t wait to get a funnel cake as my birthday cake! I’m not a huge cake fan, but I loooveee me some funnel cake so honestly I’m so excited for this! I’m also just excited to see all the people who make me happy and feel loved- it’s just the best feeling.
I also get to take a mini girls trip early next week to go see Glass Animals in concert and I am looking forward to that as well! I’m just feeling so blessed and happy to be living this life. I’ve healed enough that I am actually able to feel the love around me and truly be happy, and I am so grateful for that.
