Sunday 2-9-25

blog

Today is a sunny, relaxing day. I just spend some time writing up from “Galentine’s” cards that I’ll be mailing out to some of my friends tomorrow. I wanted to spread some extra love this year, especially to friends in far places or who I haven’t seen in a while!

I also have been feeling a lot better mentally and physically, and I finally saw an ENT who recommended that I get my tonsils removed! I have been dealing with issues for years and I am finally just going to have them completely removed and although the recovery won’t be fun, the long term result will be so worth it.

I am excited that I am feeling better and more hopeful again. I’ve found turning to my angels always is the answer, and there are times when I forget that. When I am intentional with my thoughts, I can feel the difference. Sending positive vibes to everyone this lovely Sunday!

Ideal Day (prompt)

blog

Describe your most ideal day from beginning to end.

On an ideal day, I’d wake up feeling rested and energized, ready to take on the day. I’d start my day on a nice walk outside in the warm sun and think about some of the things I’m grateful for.

After that morning stroll, I’d love to grab some breakfast with my husband at our favorite restaurant and spend time just eating and chatting about everything. Once we were done and had our to-go coffees (yes the restaurant does that & that’s why they’re top tier), I’d love to spend the day having fun with my husband, whether that’s going go-karting, bowling, or going frisbee golfing! Honestly it would be fun to do any of those activities with our friends too so we could include them too!

Of course, if this is an ideal day, I also don’t want to make dinner- so naturally my husband and I would have to get Chili’s LOL. We love their honey chipotle chicken crispers, and that just sounds like it would hit the spot. After dinner, I’d love to just go home with my husband and cuddle while we watch a movie or show or even something on YouTube.

This sounds like a perfect day and I can’t wait for warmer weather to at least be able to take a warm walk outside or go frisbee golfing LOL. Luckily the rest of these things we could do really any day, and I just feel so lucky to be alive and present to the blessings around me.

Friday Feelings

blog

Yesterday I posted how I was giving up my worries about my health to the universe, and yesterday the universe helped me out. I had an appointment scheduled for a consult with an ENT out in mid March since that was the first opening, and yesterday I called the office to see if I could get on a cancellation list and she told me they had a cancellation for tomorrow (aka TODAY)! So I get to meet with the specialist sooner rather than later, which is already helping to ease my concerns.

I can’t help but feel grateful and feel a bit more hopeful, and it’s a good reminder for me to continue to lean into faith over fear.

Thursday Thoughts

blog

I have been a bit overwhelmed with not feeling 100% and not getting answers from my doctor, but worrying and stressing about it is not helpful for my mental or physical health. I am giving this worries over to the universe, and I will trust that answers will come with time. I will continue to be observant and be an advocate for myself, but I do not need to constantly obsess over symptoms and possible diagnoses. I am happy that I get to see my therapist tomorrow (well I’ll probably do a phone call/telehealth) so I can have some guidance during this time.

Wishing everyone a happy thursday!

Wednesday

blog

Over the past few weeks I’ve been struggling with my health a little bit. It is cold/flu season which makes sense, but I’m also just feeling defeated a bit about not finding answers as to what’s wrong with me. I am up and getting ready to go to work, which I’ve missed a lot of lately. I went in on Monday, but left after a couple hours due to nausea and I ended up throwing up. Yesterday, I stayed home and went to my doctor’s appointment where all these tests came back negative. I want to try to make it through the whole day today, and even this morning I am feeling a bit nauseous.

I’m just praying that I start feeling like myself again and all these weird symptoms go away, or that somehow I get an answer and can heal myself.

Life

blog

How do significant life events or the passage of time influence your perspective on life?

I feel like life is constantly reminding me that I need to live it. None of us get out alive, and we don’t die with our diplomas and trophies… none of that material sh*t matters. Love is what matters. True connection is what matters. Empathy and curiously are what matters. Life continues to remind me to look to love and kindness, because although we may not all have the same struggles, we do all have our own struggles.

Monday Morning

blog

May this week be full of random blessings and happiness that you didn’t expect.

May this week be smooth and peaceful, reminding us all how to live slower and be more present.

May this week bring you back to yourself, reminding you of your true power.

Happy Monday ✨

Sunday, February 2nd

blog

It’s 8:10am as I start this, and yesterday I was in bed at 6:15pm ready to sleep. I was not feeling 100% yesterday, I even threw up in the morning and took an afternoon nap. My husband had the stomach flu on Friday morning, so it makes sense that I would get it as well.

This morning I’m feeling good, just tired. You know how when you get too much sleep you just feel groggy? Yeah, well that is me currently. Technically we have family dinner at my husband’s parents’ house today, but google says that you can be for contagious days after you have the stomach flu. So I’m not sure that it’s the best idea to go.

Today I need to make our lunches for the week, and I also really want to use my juicer again to make some green juice and some lemon ginger shots. I wasn’t feeling great for the last half of last month either so I’ve been slacking on my health a little bit. I also want to get back to working out at least a few days a week, but not sure I’m exactly up for that today- I can at least do some stretching though.

Even though my February started off with me throwing up and still not feeling great, I still have hope that this month will be a good one. I’m not giving up on February yet… I mean, it’s only day two. Instead I am leaning into the affirmation I received in my inbox this morning from Moon Omens:

moon omens affirmation 2/2/25

And so it is. ♥️

Cooking

blog

What’s your favorite thing to cook?

I am not a lover a cooking at this current phase in my life, but I can make some basic meals. I’d say my favorite thing to cook is an omelette, mainly because that is actually something I recently learned how to do successfully. Breakfast is definitely one of my favorite meals to cook, and sometimes I make my grandma’s recipe for homemade pancakes!

February

blog

May February bring peace and clarity to your life, and may you feel any darkness that’s been around you literally lift away.

May February bring healing and protection to your mental and physical wellbeing, and may you feel better than you have been.

May February bring abundance and luck to your life, and may you be grateful and present for it all.

May February be the reset you need, and may it bring you so much joy that you feel excited about the rest of the year.

Happy February 🤍✨
