Happy Monday

blog

Another day, another week- man time just really keeps going doesn’t it LOL. But honestly though, it’s kind of wild to think about. Anyways, yesterday I did some crafting and decided to make some cute mini vision boards. I ended up mailing them off to a few of my friends today! I love doing little crafty things and am excited to see what I make next!

Rainy Tuesday AM

blog

It’s gloomy and rainy outside which just makes me want to stay home and watch spooky movies. Of course I am going to be an adult and go to work today, so instead I will listen to some spooky podcasts at work to get me through the day. My go-to podcasts for that are Morbid and Heart Starts Pounding. If I am feeling more true-crime vibes then I also add Clues!

I’ve been trying to organize / condense some insurance stuff at work since the system we use has DECADES worth of patient information and old insurance in it, so as the month slows down for us I’ve been trying to get as organized as possible. I still of course have my regular duties of claims, verifying, helping with PTEs, etc- but organizing gives me a different type of satisfaction that I enjoy.

Luckily today is kind of a short day for me, and then I have therapy after work which should be nice! I hope everyone has a lovely day ahead!

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.

Sunday Vibes

blog

My husband is out shooting Air-soft with his friends, so I am taking a much needed “me day” at home! This morning I did some declutterring and then I made myself some breakfast. Later on I decided to go out and grab myself an iced coffee and now I’m home reading my new book that I won from @thecosmicrx on Instagram!

The new moon technically peaks tomorrow, but I’m feeling that calm reset kicking in now, and I am excited to see what these next couple of months look like! The more I lean into being present and taking life day by day, the easier it is to feel fulfilled and happy. I am so grateful for today and this life.

The First Week of June

I have been feeling so happy lately; seeing my favorite people, doing my favorite things- June feels like a refreshing, whimsical month already! I’m feeling grateful for all of the wonderful people in my life, and how many joyous moments are awaiting me this month. Here are some photos from the first week of June!

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!
