What is your favorite season of year? Why?
I personally love summer because of the warm weather, pool days, and I’m typically in a better mood just due to there being more sunshine!
Luxury
blogWhat’s the one luxury you can’t live without?
First thought: my iced coffee in the morning. That’s my favorite little luxury of every day before work.
Human Tagline
blogIf humans had taglines, what would yours be?
✨BLESSED AND HIGHLY FAVORED ✨
That would ideally be how I would operate in this world, reminding myself that I am surrounded by angels and guides who care deeply about me and my higher purpose.
In reality it’s probably more like: “empathetic, anxious, and overall just a lot.” 😂😂

That photo is from yesterday, my to-go coffee from our favorite breakfast place. My husband and I got on the road right after we paid and made it to our family around 3pm! We got to visit with my great grandma on her 97th birthday, which was so nice. She’s back in her nursing home after being the hospital, and she has some physical therapy to go through, but overall she is in good spirits!
It was such a nice weekend and I’m honestly looking forward to the week ahead! I re-start my hip hop dance class this week and I also just started my free trial of audible so I’m looking forward to listening to books while I work! I’m going to lay down and relax for the evening- I hope everyone has a lovely night and great week ahead!
Fears
blogWhat fears have you overcome and how?
I used to always have a fear of my loved ones dying. Husband, friends, family… it was even harder to recognize that this fear is truly just a reality. We all will inevitably pass away, and we have no idea when. Over time I have been able to slowly redirect these thoughts, just bringing myself back to the present and using it as a reminder to use this time I have for love.
Gratitude on a Saturday in June
blog
Just having a seat outside, soaking up the sun and grounding my feet in the grass. The birds have lots to say to one another this morning, and lucky for me, I just get to listen.
My husband and I are going to visit my family in Iowa this afternoon to celebrate my great grandma’s 97th birthday! I’m so grateful that we are able to see her and spend time with her, as well as the rest of the fam bam.
I feel so blessed to be present in this moment. I have an amazing husband, a beautiful home, financial stability, genuine friendships, and inner peace. We’re in good health, and our cats are for the most part as we get Mushu all regulated on her insulin. Overall we have a very good life, and I do not want to take it for granted.
Having a healthy marriage was always a dream of mine, and I’m so happy to have that with my husband. All I ever wanted was to have a home I was excited to come back to after a day away at work or running errands, and I have that. Communication and companionship are huge keys to success in marriage; this is why they always say to marry your best friend. Even when I’m stressed out or having a bad day, I know I have someone who loves me and someone I can lean on, and I know he feels the same.
I’m gonna head inside so we can get ready to go out to breakfast before our drive to see the family, but I just wanted to take a moment to be here and acknowledge how good life is. I am healthy, wealthy and happy, and I am in love with my life. I no longer feel crippling anxiety and emptiness like I did back in my early twenties, and as I approach my 30th birthday, I can’t help but be excited for this new decade ahead!
Friday Feels
blog
Sounds like Friday’s are right for me! LOL! I saw this post on Instagram the other day and loved it so I thought it was appropriate to share today! This Friday I am feeling:
• grateful 🙌🏼
• grounded 🤍
• content ✨
The sun is shining, I get my nails redone today, and I get to hang with one of my good friends and her kiddos! Fridays are my early days at work so I’ll be out of here in a few hours and I’ll be all ready to start the weekend!
Wishing everyone a lovely weekend ahead!
New Name
blogIf you had to change your name, what would your new name be?
It would be wild to have a new name, but if I had to choose one it would probably be a name like Devin or Blake. I just like how they are gender neutral, but as a woman, I personally do like these names for girls. These are names my husband does NOT want for future girls so I could take one as my new name LOL!

Dream Chocolate Bar (prompt)
blogDescribe your dream chocolate bar.
Ironically, my husband’s boss just got back from France and brought back chocolates for him and his team! He brought them home to share and not only were they adorable, but they were so delicious. They were just simple milk chocolate squares, but I’d 100% buy more if I ever visit Paris.
Since we’re talking about my dream chocolate bar, I guess it would probably just be that french milk chocolate over the kit kat wafer with caramel and peanuts. Basically like a french Snickers bar, replacing the nougat with a Kit Kat. However, I also really enjoy a TakeFive, so maybe that, but with the chocolate from France!
