Sunday 10/26/25

blog

I remember when I used to hate Sundays, mainly because I’d let the dread of Monday ruin the day for me. Now I absolutely LOVE my Sundays and look at them as days to be soft, slow and full of love. Most Sundays, my husband and I spend a majority of the morning laying in bed. I used to have so much guilt when I’d rest; all I’d think about were the tasks and to-do lists, but now I can let myself lay around and understand that rest is necessary and I am supposed to give myself time to recover from life LOL.

We’re gonna see our friends today, I told her I’d help take photos of her and her family for a little maternity shoot! I love taking photos and I love helping her- she helped us with our engagement photos and they turned out amazing! It’s wild what great photos you can get with an iPhone! I’m excited to see how they all turn out! It’s a chilly day, but the sun it out and the leaves are changing in some places so I’m hopeful we will get some great shots!

Halloween is Friday, which is one of my favorite holidays!! As far as I know, I’m really not doing anything for it this year! I have a couple friends coming over on Saturday night to chill and catch up, so that’s really what I’m looking forward to! I may do a little basic costume for work on Friday with something I have in my closet already- we will see what happens!

I am excited to make this a good week, and I’m just feeling like so much goodness is on the horizon! Sending love and prayers to all who need a little extra right now- may you find peace and clarity where you need it.

10/24/25 Signs

blog

Today my husband and I are getting tattoos for his cousin who passed away in June. We were blessed that she was able to make it to our wedding last year, and I will always remember her laughing, hilarious self. Today my husband was shuffling music on his iPhone and Black Love by Masego came on… one of our wedding songs. He text me and told me he got choked up (we both do now with that song), and I immediately knew that cousin Shawn was sending her sign. She approves of our tattoos, and she is always here supporting us. I miss her dearly, but I find peace knowing she is all around.

Thursday Thoughts

blog

You can find meaning and magic in every interaction if you want to.

Grief is a wild, strong emotion- but that only means the love was strong.

Where focus goes, energy flows. Be mindful of the energy you’re calling in.

We’re all ignorant to things and we’re meant to be. No human is meant to know everything.

When you’re feeling intense or extreme in your emotions, it can be hard to try to find the medium- this is when you need to pause and get into your body. Shake. Scream. Dance. Cry. Pause.

Tuesday Evening

blog

Definitely started a post this morning and forgot to go back to it LOL! I am pretty tired now but trying to get back on a daily writing streak so just wanted to make a post quick!

It’s a new moon and I am looking at myself with rosy colored lenses. I no longer wish to compare and criticize my body or my health, instead I choose to celebrate the wins and be grateful for what is. I no longer wish to “fix” and “improve” myself, instead I will just be.

Just being me is enough. Focusing on joy and love is what I prefer over the fears and doubts that chaos can bring. I am leaning into faith over fear, and really just trying to stay focused on gratitude and peace.

Trusting/Faith

blog

I trust in the Universe to keep me protected from all evil, and all things blocking me from my purpose.

I trust my Angels and Guides to keep me on the path to my higher self, loving and supporting me along the way.

I trust in Diving Timing; even when it may not always feel right in the moment, I know there is a bigger and better plan.

There is so much beyond my control, and I no longer wish to hold the weight of the world. I trust that love and light will always prevail. I trust that people are more kind and loving and connected than the media may make it seem. I trust that there is good in this world, and greatness in the divine. Thank you, thank you, thank you. 🤍✨

Tuesday Thoughts

blog

The way we speak to ourselves really matters.

You’re not supposed to be liked by everyone, and if you’re being authentic, you won’t be liked by everyone.

Adults can handle their own discomfort and disappointment, it’s not your job to make everyone else happy.

Shaming and blaming yourself will never bring the results you want.

Life will always have chaos, we’re meant to prioritize joy.

Fear sells. Fear controls. In a world of fear- have faith.

October Prayers

blog

Dear Universe,

May October feel cozy and sweet, like the cinnamon and pumpkin seasonings in our drinks.

May October feel like a breath of fresh air, bringing peace and quiet to chaotic minds and bodies.

May October feel like letting go, releasing all of the weights and worries that were never ours to hold.

May October bring clarity and comfort to all who are needing a little extra lately.

I pray October is bringing love, blessings and peace to the entire collective. I pray we are present enough to see and receive all of life’s beautiful offers and opportunities. I pray that this month we’re all able to trust and lean into faith, rather than succumbing to fear and doubt. May October be blessed. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Monday Evening

blog

I messed up my streak! Oh well, guess today is day one again! I had a fun weekend, so it was definitely worth missing a blogging day. Yesterday I took my mom to the Bears Vs. Cowboys game!! She loves the Cowboys, so that was kind of a bummer that the Bears suddenly figured out how to play football yesterday, but either way the experience was awesome!

On Saturday my husband and I went to a local Oktoberfest and met up with my friend for her birthday! It was so fun being a little kid again riding all the rides and just enjoying the atmosphere! I feel very blessed to be living this life, and the fact that I can be present to the love around me is also a blessing in and of itself. Being someone who has been chronically anxious, it’s nice to be able to feel joy in the present moment.

Wednesday AM (gratitude)

blog

It’s been a while since I’ve done this and I remember how good it made me feel, so here are some things and I am grateful for today and why!

  1. My husband. I’m so blessed to have such a respectful, loving, intelligent man as my life partner. He makes me feel loved and appreciated, and I am so grateful for all of the patience and support he has given me throughout the years.
  2. Our home. It is truly a blessing to wake up with electricity, clean running water, appliances to wash clothes and keep groceries cold. We’re lucky we bought our home when we did and it’s a blessing to be able to afford our mortgage.
  3. Iced coffee. This sounds like such a minuscule thing in life, yet it brings me so much joy. I love having a little treat that includes some caffeine, and I’m grateful we can afford this little luxury.
  4. My job. I’m so happy to be in a job where I no longer have a toxic boss/manager, I am not micromanaged, and I bosses who actually ask for and listen to feedback. I am so glad I found this office and I plan to stay here for the long haul!
  5. My health. I am able to walk, talk, eat, drive, use the bathroom, dance, and do a whole bunch of things without needing assistance, and that is a blessing. I’m grateful that my blood pumps and my lungs breathe all without me having to think about it.

There are soooo many things I could list, but I need to get ready for work! What are you feeling grateful for today?
