List the people you admire and look to for advice…

When I read this prompt, I immediately started thinking Mel Robbins, but then I was like “is this about people I actually know?” And then I’m like… do I seek advice from people I know? Not usually – I mean I do ask my therapist for advice LOL, but that’s literally her job.

I could go to a couple of my bosses for advice, as I feel they are receptive and wise- to be honest, I admire them! I admire their hard work, but also their openness and honesty. I haven’t worked for people like them before, and now that I do, I don’t know how I ever worked with some of the bosses I did.

Starting off this week with some gratitude, because life really is full of blessing and happiness when we’re present enough to see it. I am feeling so happy to be at a place in my life where I can feel the love around me, and I am forever grateful for that.

I am blessed to be able to wake up in a warm bed next to the love of my life- he makes me feel so comfortable and appreciated.

I am blessed to have such great friends who truly love and support me- they make me feel seen and loved.

I am blessed to have a job that I like where I am not micromanaged or overwhelmed, and it allows me to pay my bills and live the life I want.

I am blessed to have clean, running water in my home for warm showers, laundry, washing dishes, flushing toilets, and access to filtered tap water!

I’m blessed to have a vehicle that I love that gets me place to place safely and reliably. I am also grateful that we can afford my car.

There are so many blessings all around me and I am tuning into this vibration of love, abundance and peace.

Early Morning

Well, it’s 5:49am on Sunday and I am typing this blog post while laying in bed. I woke up about 20-30 minutes ago to use the bathroom, and when I was trying to fall back asleep, I heard a noise from the kitchen. I walked out there and our cat Mushu decided to knock over the recycle bin like a dog (she likes eating plastic).

I walked out there & told her “no” and pushed her away from the bin and then put it all back and went back to bed. Not even five minutes later I hear the same noise again. This time I decided I needed to go empty the recycling so I brought it downstairs and I came back up and redirected her to her water bowl. She drank some and then was distracted by a box that was on the floor for her and she started playing with that, which is honestly what I was hoping for.

In the midst of trying to pet her while she was in play mode (I really need to stop doing that) I ended up getting a pretty decent scratch on my arm. I have cleaned it and put some ointment and a bandaid on it now, and honestly I’m ready to go back to sleep for a few hours. I’m going to go over to my mom’s later this morning and I’m looking forward to our walk together. It’s supposed to be sunny and beautiful today, which is perfect for mother’s day!

My husband and I went over to his parents’ house yesterday and brought over some Olive Garden for dinner! It was nice to just sit and chat about life and their business. I’m going to start helping them with their website and social media, so that will be a fun project to work on! I’m hoping this keeps me busy and excited to continue to work on my own creative projects!

Writing this from the haircut chair! I’m getting a trim today and doing a little test strand to see if we can lift out some black and maybe add some dimension! We just decided that today since I’ve been thinking about going back to a chocolate brown color, so my hair girl said to do a test so we can see!

It’s mother’s day weekend, so we’re gonna see my mother in law later today and I’ll see my mom tomorrow. I’m just happy to see that the weather is so nice and the sun is shining! My mom and I are planning to go for a walk tomorrow, so that will be nice!

I hope everyone has a wonderful mother’s day weekend!

What was the last live performance you saw?

The last live performance I saw was Qveen Herby- I saw her last July in MN and literally was one of my favorite concerts of all time. To be fair, she’s one of my favorite artists, but it was her first time on tour as Qveen Herby (I also saw her a long time ago when she was Karmin) and the vibes were just immaculate!

I had an amazing weekend away with two of my best friends from high school, and today I am completely exhausted. I got back home around 7pm last night and was back to work today. I had originally took the day off, but I retracted it back because I get so stressed when I fall behind at work. Turns out I should have listened to my gut because I ended up leaving work early today.

I was feeling so exhausted and my stomach started rumbling and feeling upset; luckily I was able to get a lot done in the five hours I was there so I shouldn’t be too overwhelmed tomorrow. I knew my body would need rest after a weekend of travel, next time I’ll make sure I just keep that extra day on the books.

I’m so glad to be back home though, and cuddling with my husband was so need d after spending days away from the house. I just always feel so content and at home with him, and I feel so lucky to have the marriage that we do. This was the life I always dreamt of as a child- a home full of love and affection, rather than rage and disrespect. I am so grateful for this life and this love.

Do you vote in political elections?

I do, however I definitely forgot to vote in my last local election and I also feel like those ones almost matter more in a way since it directly impacts you/your community. Not that the major presidential elections don’t, but states still have their own laws and regulations so the local ones are important. Clearly also not that important because I failed at voting in my county’s recent election (lol).
