Happy Friday

blog

It’s finally Friday!! Better yet- we have a long weekend! I’m excited to see friends, but also to relax and recharge after this work week. I haven’t written on here in a while, but I recently asked for a raise at work and was basically told I am capped: “maybe not forever, but for now.”

I won’t lie, it was kind of a slap in the face considering how much extra work I had taken one since my last raise in January of 2025 (ahem- almost 2 years ago). However, this just means it’s time to pivot! Now I know I won’t get anymore money here or have any room to grow, so it’s up to me to either settle, or find more.

This morning I’ve already seen 444, 555 and 1111. Yesterday I kept seeing 333 EVERYWHERE- I just know I can trust that all is working out and my angels are supporting me. Of course that doesn’t mean I can just lay around and do nothing- I have to be intentional with my time and effort, which I deserve to give that to myself!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Friday and relaxing weekend, and I hope you get all the signs you are looking for!

Thursday Night Thoughts

blog

I want to get back into blogging again. I recently watched Smile 2 and was so impressed by the fact that it was better than the first one! I remember after I watched the first Smile movie I wanted to start writing about horror movies and the psychological messages and themes that all seem to come about in these films.

A creative thought that I never put effort into- something I tend to do quite often. I want to get better at that: putting effort towards the things I say I want. Things like going to the gym, writing in my blog, and working on my podcast- I deserve to spend time and effort on myself, and I deserve to keep promises I make to myself.

I know I always feel more emotional and upset about these things when it’s my time of the month, but in general I know that I am in control of how I spend my time, and I am going to be more mindful of that as we enter the colder months of the year. Since it is that time of the month, I am absolutely exhausted.

On that note, I’m signing off for the evening. I’ll be back soon ♡

Maybe This Is What Life Is About

blog

Maybe life really is about making your 8-year-old self happy. Doing things just to do them; not for profit, not for views- just doing the things that you want to do for YOU.

Maybe life is about seeking out the beauty in all the things we deem to be “imperfect.” Seeing and appreciating what makes everything so special and unique in this world.

Maybe life is about finding what truly lights up your soul and pouring into yourself whenever you can. Filling your own cup up so full that it starts spilling love and light onto others who come across your path.

Maybe life is about noticing and being grateful for the abundance of blessings that surround you everyday. Basking in the happiness that you’ve created for yourself, and recognizing how much of your life is answered prayers.

Maybe life is having faith that no matter how hard life may get, we are more than capable of making it through. Recognizing how much you have overcome in this lifetime, and appreciating the person you have become along the way.

Maybe life is about slowing down and being present to the love that is within you, and all around you. Maybe this is what life is about.

Hello June

blog

Happy June!!! It’s the first of the month, we just had a Blue Moon yesterday, and things just feel like they’re shifting into a positive timeline!

I had such a great May, and this has me super excited for this month!! It’s amazing how different my mood is when we have constant warm weather and sunshine! I’ve been feeling more motivated to hang out with friends and just get outside!

My husband and I just signed up for a new gym as well which has both indoor and outdoor pools which is super exciting! We’re hoping to go this evening when it’s a little quieter and we can get comfortable with the layout!

This summer is all about fun, friendships and nature for me! I am excited to focus on all the good and just enjoy the summer!

Here’s to wishing everyone a happy, abundant summer!!

Thursday Thoughts

blog

It’s been a while since I posted, so why not just post now? Sometimes I get down on myself when I skip out on my blog, and I had a few moments of that, but I’ve also been learning to give myself grace.

It’s finally summer!!! Well, at least the weather feels like it! This weekend I saw so many friends, got to be outside in the sun, and just overall had a great time being present with everyone.

I also had a random reel of mine go viral on IG this week, which I have never had happen before! It was a video I took of a cute little bee mistaking my friend’s tattoo for an actual flower! I am glad it was a simple, happy video that got over 1.5M views! I’ll post it here for you all to see!

Wednesday AM

blog

Today will be a good day! Although I am currently running late for work as I sit in the Dunkin’ drive thru, I am determined to make it a great day!

I see me staying in my own lane, focusing on my job and just being productive. I’m not going to let lying insurance reps or frustrated patients get me out of my good mood!

I woke up in a warm bed next to the love of my life, I was able to shower with warm, clean water, and I am blessed to be able to afford this iced coffee! My life has so much beauty in it, and I am present and open to it all.

May everyone have a wonderful Wednesday!

Monday Off

blog

My husband and I took today off since we had a weekend out of town! I was a bridesmaid in my friend’s destination wedding in Florida on Saturday! It was absolutely gorgeous, and I love the Pompano Beach area!

I had a lot of anxiety the week leading up to this trip, as well as on this trip. I was upset that I let myself get sunburned and then felt bad that I didn’t stay out as late as the rest of the bridal party, but I needed to sleep and hydrate to be ready for the wedding. The night of the wedding we also didn’t stay out as late as everyone else, but that’s because we had to be at the airport at 5am the next morning.

When I look back, I was really letting my anxiety get the best of me. I was overthinking and ruining the present, joyous moments, when in reality, none of that mattered. I was there to support the bride and help where I could. The rehearsal and wedding went smoothly, and we all had a great time on the yacht! Although I had some anxiety and got hella sunburned, overall we had great trip!

I had a session today with my new therapist, and we are gonna work on baby steps of making me become more flexible with my life. I tend to get very rigid with things and I am very “all or nothing” sometimes, and I want to be able to let go of that and focus on what really matters. I have a beautiful life, and although times get tough and anxiety gets high, I know it’s always temporary.
