What fears have you overcome and how?
I used to always have a fear of my loved ones dying. Husband, friends, family… it was even harder to recognize that this fear is truly just a reality. We all will inevitably pass away, and we have no idea when. Over time I have been able to slowly redirect these thoughts, just bringing myself back to the present and using it as a reminder to use this time I have for love.
Just having a seat outside, soaking up the sun and grounding my feet in the grass. The birds have lots to say to one another this morning, and lucky for me, I just get to listen.
My husband and I are going to visit my family in Iowa this afternoon to celebrate my great grandma’s 97th birthday! I’m so grateful that we are able to see her and spend time with her, as well as the rest of the fam bam.
I feel so blessed to be present in this moment. I have an amazing husband, a beautiful home, financial stability, genuine friendships, and inner peace. We’re in good health, and our cats are for the most part as we get Mushu all regulated on her insulin. Overall we have a very good life, and I do not want to take it for granted.
Having a healthy marriage was always a dream of mine, and I’m so happy to have that with my husband. All I ever wanted was to have a home I was excited to come back to after a day away at work or running errands, and I have that. Communication and companionship are huge keys to success in marriage; this is why they always say to marry your best friend. Even when I’m stressed out or having a bad day, I know I have someone who loves me and someone I can lean on, and I know he feels the same.
I’m gonna head inside so we can get ready to go out to breakfast before our drive to see the family, but I just wanted to take a moment to be here and acknowledge how good life is. I am healthy, wealthy and happy, and I am in love with my life. I no longer feel crippling anxiety and emptiness like I did back in my early twenties, and as I approach my 30th birthday, I can’t help but be excited for this new decade ahead!
Sounds like Friday’s are right for me! LOL! I saw this post on Instagram the other day and loved it so I thought it was appropriate to share today! This Friday I am feeling:
• grateful 🙌🏼
• grounded 🤍
• content ✨
The sun is shining, I get my nails redone today, and I get to hang with one of my good friends and her kiddos! Fridays are my early days at work so I’ll be out of here in a few hours and I’ll be all ready to start the weekend!
Wishing everyone a lovely weekend ahead!
If you had to change your name, what would your new name be?
It would be wild to have a new name, but if I had to choose one it would probably be a name like Devin or Blake. I just like how they are gender neutral, but as a woman, I personally do like these names for girls. These are names my husband does NOT want for future girls so I could take one as my new name LOL!

Describe your dream chocolate bar.
Ironically, my husband’s boss just got back from France and brought back chocolates for him and his team! He brought them home to share and not only were they adorable, but they were so delicious. They were just simple milk chocolate squares, but I’d 100% buy more if I ever visit Paris.
Since we’re talking about my dream chocolate bar, I guess it would probably just be that french milk chocolate over the kit kat wafer with caramel and peanuts. Basically like a french Snickers bar, replacing the nougat with a Kit Kat. However, I also really enjoy a TakeFive, so maybe that, but with the chocolate from France!
It’s rainy and gloomy outside which makes me just want to stay home and snuggle with my husband and my cats all day. Instead, I will be going to work LOL.
With that being said, I am truly grateful to have a job that I enjoy and that I do well at, and I am happy that my husband and I have jobs and are able to afford our bills. I’m grateful to have a home and clean water, as well as food in the fridge and food for our cats.
I’m grateful that we have each other to lean on and support one another throughout this lifetime, all while loving each other. I thank the universe and my angels for all of the divine support around our marriage and our love, as well as for keeping us safe and healthy.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

What does “having it all” mean to you? Is it attainable?
To me, that means having a healthy, happy marriage and family. It means being able to provide the life we want to ourselves and our (future) children, without struggling or worrying about finances. It means everyone being in good health, mentally, physically and emotionally. It means loving the home you live in and the career you have, but loving your family the most. I believe this is attainable, and everyone who wants it, deserves it.
Went on a solo walk today and really enjoyed my time soaking in the sun and enjoying the peace. I’ve been allowing myself to enjoy this quiet time in my life, and I am just so happy that I’ve been able to feel so present.
I’m at the vet now so my cat Mushu can have her glucose checked again now that she’s been on insulin for a week, so we’re praying for good numbers. There are still more tests after this, but again I’m just grateful for the access to the vet and the fact that we can afford these visits for her.
My husband has a fun couple of days happening this weekend! He is playing AirSoft with some friends this morning, and tomorrow he has his second race in his go-karting league. I’m going to his race tomorrow since I was out of town for his first one, and I plan to go to all of them for the rest of the season! I’m excited that he’s doing something for himself and finally doing something with racing.
My dance class starts back up in a couple weeks, so I’ll be back to that weekly for the summer! I am excited to get back into it and keep moving my body in my fun way! I am hoping to keep working on being loose and flexible when I’m dancing, rather than ridged and stiff. I just want to be in my body and in the moment, and dancing helps to ground me there.
I gotta run to the grocery store and get ready for the week ahead! I want to have ginger shots ready and lunches for my husband and I. I also want to have a couple ideas for dinners during the week so I don’t feel the need to think about it after working all day. I am ending May on a high note, and I’m so excited to see what joy and abundance June brings!
