Thankful to be waking up next to my husband on this windy, Monday morning. It’s back to work after a chill weekend- my last full week before my surgery next Thursday!
This week I am focusing on all of the good around me, and I’m making sure I have everything in order at work so it’s nice and easy for my coworkers when I’m gone. Tomorrow is my last day of dance for a few weeks so I’m excited to go tomorrow so I can say I did a full month of dance!
Let’s make it a great week!
I felt like I was getting so much sleep this morning that I actually slept through the entire day and I was going to wake up to my Monday morning alarm for work. Needless to say, that did not happen and for that I am thankful. It did feel nice to get a lot of sleep-I’ve been feeling the need to rest and reset lately so I am embracing this slow weekend and season in my life.
I decided to make myself a new Tumblr page yesterday. When I was younger, Tumblr was my first blog. It is mainly photos and you can post your own and/or “re-blog” from others, but it always felt so therapeutic to me. I had been messing around with a few settings here on WordPress and just kept thinking about how much I missed having a photo-blog (aka Tumblr)-so I decided to sign up and create a new one!

I have this thought that comes back every now and again about how us humans feel the need to be in the loop on every tragedy happening around the globe, yet we aren’t even present to our own health and financial goals. How are we going to save the world or solve any problems when we are struggling to survive ourselves?
People scream at other people on the internet calling them privileged for ignoring the horrific news, when there are tons of people who are informed but aren’t doing anything about it. For example, my mom is always complaining about politics and whatever but she doesn’t write letters to representatives or do anything productive with that information. Also, how informed is anyone when the news/media is profiting of your anxieties and fears?
The only reason to be on the internet is to spread true authentic love and light. I have such a love/hate relationship with Instagram, which is why I am happy I signed back up for tumblr, where people aren’t commenting and going back and forth-we are all just sharing art. I also like the app Lapse for this reason as well. I am going to end up taking time back off Instagram again, which always makes me feel better mentally.
Today is going to be a peaceful Sunday, and I am just soaking in all of the blessings around me. I am grateful to have a warm home and roof over my head. I am grateful to have an incredible life partner who loves and respects me. I am grateful to have friends who encourage me and are rooting for me. I am grateful that my husband and I have our jobs so we are able to pay our bills and have fun in this life we have built together. Finally, I am thankful for my angels and guides who keep me divinely protected and blessed- thank you, thank you, thank you!
New nails, dance class tonight, and the sun is shining! Feeling grateful and blessed this Tuesday!
Today was much needed. My husband and I got to sleep in, so we went out for breakfast at 1pm! Once we got home I kept my promise to myself and made us green juice for the week, as well as some ginger shots! I also did a little bit of vision board journaling.
This morning I was actually crying tears of joy, and it was all because I was truly just feeling into the love and joy in my life. I used to feel so riddled with anxiety to the point that I never could just be in the present moment, and now that I catch myself consciously feeling joy, I’ve been trying to really lean into that feeling and giving it space.
Life is full of struggles and hardships, but the love that we have in our lives is what makes it possible to survive. Lean into the love around you, and remember to recognize how truly blessed you are. Sending extra love to everyone this Sunday!
The sun is shining so bright on this beautiful morning. I’m going to take that as a sign that this month is going to be a great one!
I am about a month out from my tonsillectomy and nasal tissue surgery, and I am excited to be able to breathe and not have all these issues with tonsil stones and sore throats! This month I’m just going to focus on doing things that make me happy, putting energy in where it’s reciprocated, and prioritizing my inner peace.
May March bless you in ways you never thought possible!
Feeling fabulous this Friday because it’s about to be the weekend! Also feeling great because day by day I am leaning into faith and just trusting that all is exactly how it should be. I can only control my mindset and my responses to the world, so that is all I can really focus on controlling. I can’t control how other people act or treat others, but I can control how much energy and attention I give to others.
I am only putting time and energy in where it is being reciprocated, and I only want to focus on what is serving me, rather than wasting time on negative sh*t. How someone acts is none of my responsibility, but if someone treats me with disrespect, it’s my right to stand up for myself. I am in an era of being as authentic as possible, and that means I’m not longer prioritizing other people’s comfort over my own.
May today bring unexpected joys and blessings, and may we be present to them all.
May we close out February on a high note, making this a great last week of the month!
May today be full of happiness and laughter, making today feel light and peaceful.
Here’s to a Happy Tuesday!
Today’s date is 2/22 and 222 is the angel number for alignment. I am feeling so blessed this morning as the sun is shining and my husband sleeps peacefully next to me. I have a busy day ahead of getting my nails done, running errands, and then celebrating one of my best friend’s 30th birthday!
We’re all going out to dinner tonight and going rollerblading after, which I am so excited for! Today will be filled with self care, great conversations, and just lots of love and happiness! I love celebrating birthdays and I love being able to hang with good people!
I hope everyone has a magical day- may you be present to all of the blessings around you!
I am finally feeling like myself again. My appetite is back, I’m feeling more happy, and I’m also finally going to be getting my tonsils and some nasal tissue removed in a couple months! I know I’ll have to deal with the recovery of that surgery, but I am honestly just excited to finally have my tonsils gone and be able to fully breathe from my nose!
I got to reconnect with a good friend yesterday and she asked me to be one of her bridesmaids- I said yes! I will be standing by her side down on a beach in Florida come April of 2026! I’m excited for her to have her dream wedding and I can’t wait to celebrate her being a bride!
Today I get to reconnect with another good friend over some coffee, so I’ll be seeing her in a couple hours! I love seeing friends and just chatting about life; it’s great having good conversations with good people!
Oh, also I got VERY excited yesterday because I found mini Bratz at Five Below!! This girl I know through one of my friends had posted some mini Bratz on her snapchat story and I was immediately like “I NEED THEM!” So she told me where to go and I found three out of the four original Bratz Dolls! I’m just missing Jade, but I’m sure I will find her soon! It really is the little things (LOL) ✨
I’m excited to enjoy this lovely Sunday and I am looking forward to a good week ahead!
I have been getting more in touch with my angels and guides, and leaning into surrendering my worries away. Me thinking I can control everything and minimize future stress by making up every worst case scenario is just robbing me of the peace I can find in this present moment.
All we have is now, as tomorrow is never guaranteed. The more I can lean into being grateful for all that is around me, the more blessings I see and the more grounded I feel. I have a beautiful life that I have created along side my husband, and I deserve to enjoy it while I’m here.
Sending love to everyone this weekend!
