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.

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.

Monday Morning Thoughts

blog

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.

8/8 Prompt

blog

What change, big or small, would you like your blog to make in the world?

I hope my blog makes people feel seen and heard, whether they see themselves in my writing or it inspires them to start their own blog/journal. I hope it gives people who are struggling with mental health hope and happiness, because I am definitely not the same person I was when I started this blog 5+ years ago. It’s normal for us all to have struggles on our journeys, but what’s important is we keep coming home to ourselves, and I hope my blog helps to remind people of that.

Friday Feels

blog

Today was such an incredible day. My family from Iowa came out to visit and take me and my husband out for my birthday. They also blessed us with a very generous gift, and I’m beyond grateful for them. I feel just so grateful and lucky honestly, and I am just happy to be present to it all.

My husband and I also went over to visit his family at the farmer’s market! They have a barbecue business and they’re a vendor at the market every Friday, so we decided to stop by and say hi! When we were leaving the market, another vendor selling cute jewelry caught my eye, and I ended up getting a cute evil eye bracelet, ring, and a pair of snake earrings! It was 3 for $30 and I just happened to have $30 cash in my wallet!

Tomorrow I get to see some of my good friends as we all get together to celebrate my birthday!! We’re gonna go to the local fair and I can’t wait to get a funnel cake as my birthday cake! I’m not a huge cake fan, but I loooveee me some funnel cake so honestly I’m so excited for this! I’m also just excited to see all the people who make me happy and feel loved- it’s just the best feeling.

I also get to take a mini girls trip early next week to go see Glass Animals in concert and I am looking forward to that as well! I’m just feeling so blessed and happy to be living this life. I’ve healed enough that I am actually able to feel the love around me and truly be happy, and I am so grateful for that.
