Today my husband and I are getting tattoos for his cousin who passed away in June. We were blessed that she was able to make it to our wedding last year, and I will always remember her laughing, hilarious self. Today my husband was shuffling music on his iPhone and Black Love by Masego came on… one of our wedding songs. He text me and told me he got choked up (we both do now with that song), and I immediately knew that cousin Shawn was sending her sign. She approves of our tattoos, and she is always here supporting us. I miss her dearly, but I find peace knowing she is all around.

Thursday Thoughts
blog
You can find meaning and magic in every interaction if you want to.
Grief is a wild, strong emotion- but that only means the love was strong.
Where focus goes, energy flows. Be mindful of the energy you’re calling in.
We’re all ignorant to things and we’re meant to be. No human is meant to know everything.
When you’re feeling intense or extreme in your emotions, it can be hard to try to find the medium- this is when you need to pause and get into your body. Shake. Scream. Dance. Cry. Pause.
Good Neighbor
blogWhat makes a good neighbor?
Someone who doesn’t scream at and abuse their significant others and minds their own business. That definitely sounds like the bare minimum (and is LOL), but we have a crazy neighbor and at this point, we just appreciate the neighbors who are nothing like him. We also don’t have kids or anything currently, and I hear my coworkers talk about how they have nice neighbors who will help them with their kids and/or bus stop things which I find to be very nice! Basically neighbors who are helpful when needed, and mind their business all the rest of the time!
Tuesday Evening
blog
Definitely started a post this morning and forgot to go back to it LOL! I am pretty tired now but trying to get back on a daily writing streak so just wanted to make a post quick!
It’s a new moon and I am looking at myself with rosy colored lenses. I no longer wish to compare and criticize my body or my health, instead I choose to celebrate the wins and be grateful for what is. I no longer wish to “fix” and “improve” myself, instead I will just be.
Just being me is enough. Focusing on joy and love is what I prefer over the fears and doubts that chaos can bring. I am leaning into faith over fear, and really just trying to stay focused on gratitude and peace.
Proud
blogWhat are you most proud of in your life?
I’m proud of the fact that even though I grew up in chaos and had traumatic experiences, I still choose to grow and not allow that to turn me into a bitter person.
Trusting/Faith
blogI trust in the Universe to keep me protected from all evil, and all things blocking me from my purpose.
I trust my Angels and Guides to keep me on the path to my higher self, loving and supporting me along the way.
I trust in Diving Timing; even when it may not always feel right in the moment, I know there is a bigger and better plan.
There is so much beyond my control, and I no longer wish to hold the weight of the world. I trust that love and light will always prevail. I trust that people are more kind and loving and connected than the media may make it seem. I trust that there is good in this world, and greatness in the divine. Thank you, thank you, thank you. 🤍✨
Ghouls Night
blogLast night I had a few friends over for a “ghouls night!” It was so nice just chatting, painting pumpkins and watching movies! It makes me want to host more lowkey nights like that with only 3-4 people so we can all connect and just enjoy conversations and crafts!

“Successful”
blogWhen you think of the word “successful,” who’s the first person that comes to mind and why?
When I think “successful” I think of Mel Robbins, because:
1. She is a best selling author
2. She has a popular podcast
3. She is AUTHENTIC
I love listening to Mel, because she just comes off as such a real human being! She is constantly writing and recording while also being a wife, as well as a mother to three adult children. She tells it like it is and with her interviews, it seems like she has access to all of these very smart, successful people. I love that she didn’t start her podcast until she was 54, and she completely blew the game out of the water. She’s definitely someone I admire and I’d love to meet one day.

The way we speak to ourselves really matters.
You’re not supposed to be liked by everyone, and if you’re being authentic, you won’t be liked by everyone.
Adults can handle their own discomfort and disappointment, it’s not your job to make everyone else happy.
Shaming and blaming yourself will never bring the results you want.
Life will always have chaos, we’re meant to prioritize joy.
Fear sells. Fear controls. In a world of fear- have faith.
