Together

blog

Today some are crying tears of joy

While others tears are ones of sorrow

Anger and hatred proudly shared

Is this the future we want for tomorrow?

When emotions are high

When we are in a triggered state

When we don’t feel at peace inside

We will struggle to have any rational debate

It makes it hard to see the other side

It makes it hard to lean into empathy

But this is why we need to take a step back

So we can focus on light, love and unity

We all will endure these next years together

All with different pasts and upbringings

When we recognize similarities in each other

We can truly discuss the important things

We can see how much we have in common

We can ask each other questions to understand

We can see where our fears and goals line up

And we can lend each other a hand

We can accomplish a lot more together

Than we can when we are divided

We the people have the freedom of speech

With strength in numbers we can stand united

We can stand for our rights and our freedoms

We can stand for access to great education

We can stand for a healthier future

We can stand for what we want in this nation

Together we can harness the power of unity

Together we can make sure the future is bright

Together we can lean into faith over fear

Together we can show the darkness our light

Happy Sunday / Gratitude Check

blog

This Sunday has been so relaxing and I have been soaking in the precious life that I live. My husband and I treated ourselves to some nice pedicures to celebrate his birthday early (he turns 30 on Wednesday)! We’ve been enjoying the cloudy day by taking it slow- soon we will be going to his parents’ home for family dinner. I just wanted to check in and list some of the things I have been grateful for recently:

-my respectful, loving husband

-our beautiful home that has everything we need

-fancy pedicures

-iced coffee

-our financial situation

-our jobs

-good music

-podcasts

-comfortable sweatpants/sweatshirts

-netflix

-genuinely supportive friends

-quality family time

Life will always present challenges, which is why it is important to take time to appreciate the good parts. Sending love and positive vibes to everyone this beautiful Sunday.

Prompt

blog

What’s something you believe everyone should know.

That the more we heal ourselves and are able to view ourselves with love and grace, the more we can see the world and others the same way. Hurt people hurt people, and we all deserve to heal and care about ourselves so we can give that same care to others.

A Kid At Heart

blog

What does it mean to be a kid at heart?

It means that you still believe there is magic in the world. It may not look like fairies and wizards, but it can be felt in the most precious moments. It’s recognizing that laughter really is the best medicine, and doing the things that bring true joy to your soul. Being a kid at heart just means you haven’t let the cruel parts of the world dim your light.

Sunshine and Iced Coffee

Happy Sunday!

The sun is shining and my iced coffee was extra satisfying this morning, so no complaints here. What you focus on expands, so keep that in mind today while you let your thoughts wander. May you find beauty and peace in the most unexpected places, and may you give yourself the same love and grace you give others. Sending love and positivity to everyone this Sunday. ♡

Wishes

blog

You have three magic genie wishes, what are you asking for?

When I think of genie wishes, I just remember that you have to be very careful with your wording and be specific as possible, as they take your words literally. With that being said, my three wishes would be as follows:

  1. I wish to live a long, healthy life with my husband where we both feel happy and fulfilled with each others love, and that we are able to have our own healthy children and create a loving family.
  2. I wish that no one had the desire, thought or ability to abuse any infant/child in any capacity (mentally, physically, sexually, emotionally).
  3. I wish for world peace in the sense that all humans recognize that we are indeed all humans who bleed red, and we no longer wish to harm and hate one another, but instead lean into curiosity and empathy to build a loving, peaceful world.

Today is a gorgeous day and I am just so happy that I get to spend the day with my husband. I’m currently in the waiting room just to get some routine labs, and afterwards we’re planning to get breakfast and just have a relaxing day! We’re hoping to break into the Hogwarts Lego set that we were gifted for our wedding! We also are planning to get our thank you cards done this weekend as well.

Since gratitude always makes life so much better, I’m just going to list some of the things that I am feeling thankful for lately:

-the relationship I have with my husband

-my friendships

-our supportive family

-having a reliable vehicle (shoutout to the automatic start now that it’s in the 30s in the am)

-my health / mental health

-access to water and food

-our home

-mel robbins podcast

-qveen herby’s music

-dunkin iced coffee
