Tuesday Gratitude / Intentions

blog

I am only in control of myself and my mindset, and I choose a life of gratitude and peace.

I am blessed to have a job, and I do well at my job. I am choosing to stay in my lane and focus on my own goals.

I am thankful to have a respectful, loving, hardworking husband, and I’m so happy we are married.

I am grateful that I woke up in a cozy bed, in a warm home with a roof over my head. I pray that all humans are able to have proper shelter and are protected during the colder seasons.

Overall my life is full of blessings and abundance, and I can feel my angels surrounding me. I am thankful for today.

Books

What books do you want to read?

I have a few books in my Amazon wishlist, but I actually just finished Verity by Colleen Hoover yesterday and now I’m very interested in reading more of her work. A lot of the ones on my list are self-improvement books, and I do still want to read those, but I am also not trying to make myself this never-ending project. Adding in some suspenseful fiction was fun, and I plan to do more of that!

Sunny Sunday (1-26-25)

blog

I took a quick pause from making our lunches for the week to post in here. I’ve been feeling pretty bleh lately, but luckily I am aware that this feeling isn’t going to last forever. Today I’m still doing what I need to do to set myself up for the week, and for that I am proud.

I purposely made zero plans this weekend just to use it as a reset, and it has been exactly that. Yesterday my husband and I went out for a breakfast date and grabbed a few necessities from Walmart, but we spent our Saturday night in hanging out together. This morning we slept in and then went out and grabbed some Starbucks!

Spending time with my husband and just being in our home is such a blessing, and I am grateful for this life of ours. Wishing everyone a happy Sunday filled with blessings and love! 🤍✨

Weekend Thoughts and Affirmations

blog

I have been on a social media break since the beginning of December. One of the accounts I really liked on Instagram has an email signup where they send daily affirmations, so I had signed up over a year ago and I continue to get them. Todays affirmation from Moon Omens was as follows:

“I trust that what is meant

for me is on its way. I am in

alignment with my life path.

I embrace the unknown.

I choose love over fear.”

I definitely needed this today, as I have just been in a little funk with this winter season. I also have been dealing with different health conditions like flu, uti and possible tonsillitis. We also had to take one of our cats to the vet yesterday, so today we will get results from her blood and urine. I’ve just been feeling a bit overwhelmed and when I read this I resonated with it. I figured I also can take this and put my own personal twist on it:

I trust that what is meant for me is on its way; I am allowed to release all of my worries and let go of control.

I am in alignment with my life path, even when I am not feeling 100% myself, I can trust this is all happening for me and a higher plan.

I embrace the unknown, and lean in with curiosity. This had me immediately think of another other quote I stumbled upon recently that says “The only true wisdom is knowing you know nothing.” I am allowed to dive into the unknown and let go of the need to appear smart or perfect.

I choose love over fear. I think we’ve all heard the phrase “the only thing to fear is fear itself,” and that is because if you let it, fear can completely take you over. I’d much prefer to live a life where I see through a lens of love and compassion rather than fear and hatred.

I’m using this weekend as a reset. I want to get back in a good headspace and focus on my goals- I am honestly very excited for it. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! Sending extra love and positive vibes to everyone!

Leisure

blog

What do you enjoy doing most in your leisure time?

Honestly I love having conversations with good friends. Whether we Facetime or we go grab a coffee or go for a walk, I love catching up and just sharing our experiences about life and learning from one another.

Considering I also thrive in isolation, I love to make picture collages/vision boards and I love to write. I also enjoy watching trashy reality TV shows LOL!

Tuesday Thoughts (from home)

blog

I’m writing this from my bed, because I am home sick. I was off yesterday to see my primary care doctor for my swollen tonsil/sore throat. I don’t have strep so I basically just added in flonase and I have to continue hydrating and using a humidifier.

Today, however, I am having a lot of nausea. I am sure it’s probably shitty food I ate, although one of my friends is sick and I did hang with her this weekend. Either way, I am glad to be able to lay in bed today and just be able to give my body and brain a break. I’m just resting and hydrating and praying this is the last time I’m sick for a long while.

Vision Boarding

blog

Yesterday my friend and I made vision boards for 2025! Now I have the itch to keep making collages, so I put together a few pages in the vision boarding journal I started for this year. Cutting out pictures and picking out stickers definitely feeds my inner child, and it’s nice to just escape from the chaotic world and immerse myself in positive imagery and quotes.

Dream Job (prompt)

blog

What’s your dream job?

I’d love to be a podcaster and an author. I’d talk about my own personal healing journey and life experiences, but I’d also give others a platform to be able to do the same thing. I’d love to share stories that allow others to let go of any judgment or shame they have, and allow them to step into their favorite version of themselves.

It would be incredible to be able to make a living off of a creative outlet, and even more incredible to be spreading love and light to the world. I know that this dream career would likely lead into needing to do public speaking (like in front of an audience, rather than just a microphone and a laptop), so that would definitely be a comfort zone I’d have to jump out of.
