May today bring unexpected joys and blessings, and may we be present to them all.
May we close out February on a high note, making this a great last week of the month!
May today be full of happiness and laughter, making today feel light and peaceful.
Here’s to a Happy Tuesday!
Happy Monday to everyone!!
I’m feeling so refreshed and excited for this week and want to send that energy to you through this post!!
May your week be full of blessings and happiness!
What advice would you give to your teenage self?
Stop caring about what other people think, most of them are irrelevant in your actual life and their opinion of you means nothing.
Your weight does not define you, and wanting to be underweight is not healthy. Your body is meant to evolve and change throughout your life.
When your “friends” are being shitty to you or are disrespecting you when you have not treated them badly in any sort of way, drop them. No need to be friends with someone who doesn’t appreciate you or care about your feelings or safety.
You’re allowed to speak up when you’re uncomfortable- in fact, it’s encouraged.
Say what you mean and mean what you say.
What bores you?
A closed mind.
Today’s date is 2/22 and 222 is the angel number for alignment. I am feeling so blessed this morning as the sun is shining and my husband sleeps peacefully next to me. I have a busy day ahead of getting my nails done, running errands, and then celebrating one of my best friend’s 30th birthday!
We’re all going out to dinner tonight and going rollerblading after, which I am so excited for! Today will be filled with self care, great conversations, and just lots of love and happiness! I love celebrating birthdays and I love being able to hang with good people!
I hope everyone has a magical day- may you be present to all of the blessings around you!
What is your favorite drink?
My favorite drink is definitely coffee LOL. I prefer Dunkin’ and I get their original roast either hot and black, otherwise I do an iced coffee with cream! Pretty basic and boring, but that’s my favorite!
Today will be a good day, I am determined to make it that way. I started training a new girl at work yesterday and I feel like it is going well, and I am excited to continue today! I had made a helpful training binder and she told me it seemed very easy to follow which made me happy!
I love being able to spread my knowledge and help people succeed at their job, so today and tomorrow (and the next couple weeks) that is my main focus! I also have to remind myself that this is the priority right now, and if I fall a little behind on other things it is not the end of the world, as we want this girl trained to be great!
Today will be a good day. I trust my angels and guides are here surrounding me, keeping me in a grounded state, free of anxiety and stress. I trust they are protecting and guiding me in the direction of my highest self. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Tell us about your favorite pair of shoes, and where they’ve taken you.
I’m not going to lie, this one has me stumped. I really can’t think of my favorite pair of shoes. I thought about the Heelys I had as a kid because I absolutely LOVED them, but I also remember loving a bunch of pairs of shoes like the brands DC, Etnies and Osiris.
Then I think about my current pairs of shoes and I guess maybe they’d be my fuzzy white Crocs because they’re my first pair and they’re so comfy! They have taken me to work and probably the store LMFAO. To be fair, I really haven’t had them long- but also, I don’t go many places LOL!
Share one of the best gifts you’ve ever received.
I remember when I was ten I opened a gift under the Christmas tree and it was a note telling me that I was going to Disney World with my aunt, uncle and cousins! This is the first memory I have of crying years of joy- and I remember it even kinda throwing me off that I cried but I was so shocked and happy!
My parents weren’t (and still aren’t) big travelers, so it was nice that I still had the opportunity to go, even if it was without them. I’ve been blessed with many great gifts and opportunities throughout my lifetime, but that one will always stick out to me.
Write about your approach to budgeting.
My husband and I do have a budget spreadsheet that we utilize that shows all of our bills, including the credit cards and what each balance is compared to what the credit limit is. We have lived together for almost ten years, and we have always budgeted. Prior to marriage we did set up a joint account specifically for bills.
Back before we had all of our money combined, how we would budget was we would calculate out what our bills added up to for the month, and we would make sure we always set at least that amount of money into our joint account for bills. We still had our own separate accounts and would spend our leftover money on basically whatever we wanted, but we always made sure the bills were paid first!
Now all of our money is combined and we are always checking in and using “extra money” to pay down debt after our normal bills are paid! We have fun things in the budget like my nails and coffee, but we also are very mindful and always check in to make sure we are on the same page and reaching our financial goals!
