Monday Morning

blog

It was just 5:55 on the clock, which is the angel number for “change.” Well, in two short days I get to marry the love of my life! I’m so grateful that we may it to our destination safely, and I also already had some family arrive as well! The rest of our friends and family arrive tomorrow, and then Wednesday is the big day!

We get to spend the next few days in our lovely suite with the ocean view! Although we may already miss our cats, it will be nice to be away from work and chores for a little while and just be able to focus on each other and all the love that surrounds us. 🤍

Fulfilled

blog

In what ways does hard work make you feel fulfilled?

When I think of a hard day of work, I definitely feel satisfied at the end of the day if I feel like I accomplished the goals I wanted to. When I feel like I have been productive and have crossed a lot off my list, I feel fulfilled in the way that I actually followed through on my goal.

It’s a lot easier for me to be productive and goal oriented in a work environment- sometimes I wonder if it’s still feeding a part of my inner child that craves approval and praise. When it comes to my own personal life, if I have a day where I can cross a bunch of chores of the list, I definitely feel fulfilled. I feel like I have taken care of my home and I have rid myself of overwhelming piles of tasks, which is satisfying.

Since moving away from people-pleasing and perfectionism tendencies, I have since recognized that my worth is not defined by how accomplished I am in the workplace or how clean my home is. I am worthy as I am, and as I lean into self love/care, I have also realized how important rest is. Burnout isn’t fun for anyone, nor is it worth it to sacrifice your health and wellbeing all in the name of being productive. As much as I enjoy feeling fulfilled by a hard day’s work, I also enjoy resting and recharging, so that I can feel fulfilled even when I am not doing anything.

Prompt:

What’s the trait you value most about yourself?

Empathy.

Although it sometimes feels like a blessing and a curse, I have grown to love this part of me so much. I’ve been on medications when all of my emotions and sensitivities were taken away from me, and I absolutely hated it; I felt like a completely different person. Now that I’m more regulated and actively in therapy, I have learned better ways to use and embrace this gift.

Alright everyone- ya girl has been FEELING the effects of this eclipse, but I def feel like I got a sign from my angels today✨✨✨ 

quick story time: my fiancé and I are getting married one week from today in Florida. last week we had some emergency dental work that came up for him, and now this week a hurricane is heading to our destination wedding spot 😅 I’ve been trying to lean into faith over fear like Gabby Bernstein says, and I’ve just been taking to my angels and releasing as much as I can. 

well today, I had shuffled my “QVEEN ONLY” playlist that is just all of Qveen Herby’s discography and the song “Wifey” came on, and then immediately after her song “Alright” came on- and I look up and the car in front of me has “4444” on their license plate 🥹 

i’m like okay my angels 100% sent their sign to me that everything will be alright 🤍🤍🤍

Back to Trusting

blog

Doing my best to lean into faith over fear, and trusting all will work as it should. My fiancé and I are planning to be married in eight days, and there is a potential for a hurricane to strike our wedding location by the end of this week. I can only pray that the storm dissipates and never hits land, as obviously the weather is beyond my control. Regardless, we will be getting married on our 13th anniversary and that is truly what matters. I am doing what I did with the last situation and just doing my best to turn my worries over to my angels and focus on the good that is here now.

Feeling Grateful

blog

I’m feeling so much lighter today, and just overall grateful for life and the divine guidance and love that surrounds me and my loved ones. I’m getting married in nine days, and I cannot help but smile when I think of meeting my fiancé at the altar. Life truly is a gift, and I am so thankful.
