Today has been a nice chill day with my husband. We went out for breakfast, ran some errands, did a little purging (we’re gonna drop off some bags at the thrift store tomorrow), and now we’re just gonna work on our home dashboard project and probably watch a movie! I love having a chill weekend with no real plans.
Starting the day a little later than usual today because I have to bring my car to the repair shop this morning. Once I drop it off, the rental car people will bring me to Enterprise so I can get my rental for the next couple days, and then I can head to work!
We have our potluck at work today so I am bringing Poppyseed Bread per usual (highly requested family recipe), and we are picking our secret santa’s! I am looking forward to that and trying to keep a positive outlook on this week, as last week felt like a total shit show at work.
Although I am starting the week off a little bit out of routine, maybe that’s exactly what we need for this week. I’m grateful to have my car and my insurance to help pay for this repair, I am grateful for my bosses being so flexible with me while I work through this and my cat’s diabetes (her next vet appointment is this Friday), and I am just grateful to be alive even when times feel stressful.
Sending love to everyone this Monday- cheers to a great week ahead! Even if shitty things happen, we can tune into the fact that we still have many wonderful things to be grateful for.
Yesterday was a ROUGH day for me. Between work, PMS, someone hitting my car with their door and not telling me, it’s safe to say I screamed the entire car ride home. I also believe I frightened the driver in front of me with my screaming as they sped TF off ahead of me LOL.
After releasing that anger on the way home, and then crying once I got home, I felt relief. I had time to reflect and recognize that all of the shit bothering me was not going to matter in a years time. Also everything felt amplified considering my period was arriving just a couple hours after that nice cry session.
Today I am making it a better day- just focusing on my work while listening to Morbid (podcast). Tomorrow is the full moon which is always a time for release, and that’s why the buildup to it feels so intense. Side note, I also am such a witchy weirdo that I’m all excited to be synced back up with the moon- it makes me feel like I am aligned.
As much as all of this life shit can suck, there’s also so much beauty and so many blessings around, and I’d rather spend my life focusing on the good so I don’t turn into one of those bitter, crotchety old people LOL.
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. 🤍✨
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.
Beyond blessed to be alive and well, and there is so much to be grateful for today:
We were never meant to take on the weight of the world, we’re meant to focus on making our own world better and allowing that to pour into the rest of the universe.
It can be hard to watch loved ones struggle and be stressed, but that is when they need love and support more than ever.
“Give, but don’t let it empty you.”
Confirmation bias is real- use it to your advantage.
Boredom means you aren’t in constant chaos; you feeling bored? Congratulations, you’ve found peace.
You don’t have to fix anyone else’s problems, just like they don’t have to solve yours.
I am releasing perfectionism; I no longer hold myself to impossible standards, I just prioritize authenticity.
I am releasing the tension and stress that is stored in my physical body.
I am releasing the negative thoughts and feelings that are keeping me from following my dreams.
I am releasing all attachments that are not genuine or pure; I only have space for people who lift me up and love me in the same way I do for them.
I am releasing any left over resentment and anger that has been sitting in my body and mind.
I am releasing the negative programming and thoughts that I absorbed from others who were projecting their own fears and insecurity onto me.
I am releasing the feeling of needing to prioritize other people’s comfort over my own; I am allowed and encouraged to speak up for myself when I feel uncomfortable.
I release all that no longer serves me, or my higher purpose, and I do so gently and with love.
Happy Full Moon!
