There are so many things about this life to be grateful for, and it’s important to take time to recognize them.
Happy Sunday!
The sun is shining and my iced coffee was extra satisfying this morning, so no complaints here. What you focus on expands, so keep that in mind today while you let your thoughts wander. May you find beauty and peace in the most unexpected places, and may you give yourself the same love and grace you give others. Sending love and positivity to everyone this Sunday. ♡
Today is a gorgeous day and I am just so happy that I get to spend the day with my husband. I’m currently in the waiting room just to get some routine labs, and afterwards we’re planning to get breakfast and just have a relaxing day! We’re hoping to break into the Hogwarts Lego set that we were gifted for our wedding! We also are planning to get our thank you cards done this weekend as well.
Since gratitude always makes life so much better, I’m just going to list some of the things that I am feeling thankful for lately:
-the relationship I have with my husband
-my friendships
-our supportive family
-having a reliable vehicle (shoutout to the automatic start now that it’s in the 30s in the am)
-my health / mental health
-access to water and food
-our home
-mel robbins podcast
-qveen herby’s music
-dunkin iced coffee
-the photo app Lapse (it’s basically a digital disposable camera- see photos below)
I’m so tired this morning as I write this, but wanted to take a moment for gratitude.
I’m grateful for my job, as I am blessed to not work in a toxic environment any longer.
I am grateful for my health, as I can do all things on my own without assistance which is a huge blessing.
I am grateful for my husband, who is respectful, kind, and supportive of me and who I am.
I am grateful for our financial state, although there is always room to improve, we are blessed to be where we are today.
What we choose to see, we will see more of. When we are grateful, we will see all of the blessings around us. I choose to see the light in the world, and I choose to recognize just how blessed I am.
for years we’ve heard the same questions over and over again: everyone was always wondering why we weren’t engaged or married after being together for so long. people will always have their views, and most of the time you’ll find that it often has to do with society. it’s funny how people complain about “society’s standards” and then simultaneously push them upon one another, when in reality, society isn’t even meant to be in your relationship- so why let it dictate your timeline?
as I’ve been healing and growing throughout my life, I’ve recognized the importance of blocking out noise. people will always have an opinion or something to say, but they are NOT in your partnership. I feel it is important to hear people out if those are people who truly love and support you, but when it comes down to it, your relationship is about you and your partner. it’s important to pay attention to who is giving you advice and who is projecting their own issues and opinions. you wouldn’t ask someone who is thrice divorced for marriage advice, just like you wouldn’t ask someone who has never purchased a home for homeowner advice- so why let that outside noise affect your relationship?
when Cameron and I started dating, we were 16 years old. we told each other we loved each other after eleven days of dating. he wrote me a letter after a couple months where he told me that he understood why people would meet and get married within six months. if we would have gotten married in a rush at that age, I can’t tell you where we would be, but I can tell you that society and others around us would have disapproved. when we were buying a home at age 21, we had people asking why were we rushing to do that, while simultaneously asking us when we would be getting married. to us, it never mattered what people told us.
we have always listened to what we wanted and needed, and I am so blessed that we have been able to grow along side each other for the past 13 years. marriage is a lifelong commitment, even though society may not see it that way any longer, but it is to us. I’m glad we spent time building our foundation and I am so excited to spend forever with my husband.
It was just 5:55 on the clock, which is the angel number for “change.” Well, in two short days I get to marry the love of my life! I’m so grateful that we may it to our destination safely, and I also already had some family arrive as well! The rest of our friends and family arrive tomorrow, and then Wednesday is the big day!
We get to spend the next few days in our lovely suite with the ocean view! Although we may already miss our cats, it will be nice to be away from work and chores for a little while and just be able to focus on each other and all the love that surrounds us. 🤍
Today I got my regular daily affirmation from Moon Omens sent to my email and decided I should post it here too:
“My mind knows no limits.
My spirit is infinite & eternal.
I no longer fear my future,
because I am creating it.
I welcome new adventures.”
Just releasing all behind my control and trusting in the plans of the universe.
I’m feeling so much lighter today, and just overall grateful for life and the divine guidance and love that surrounds me and my loved ones. I’m getting married in nine days, and I cannot help but smile when I think of meeting my fiancé at the altar. Life truly is a gift, and I am so thankful.
I’ve seen the signs. I’ve felt the positivity and the love. I know all is happening as it should, and all is well. Thank you.
The energy of today is to take out the trash! Release anything no longer serving you. Look at your routines, your relationships, your inner dialogue- what needs to be released so that you can feel lighter and more free?
The astrology accounts I see talk about big changes and breakthroughs coming with eclipses, and I don’t know about you, but I’ve been feeling the chaotic energy. It’s heavy, but energizing- it feels like it fuels whatever the focus is on.
The other thing about eclipses is to release expectations, but also expect the unexpected. Remember all is happening for you, and the universe has a plan that you may not understand in this moment, but this is all important for your transformation.
I’m releasing the need to control. I’m releasing negative thoughts and resentment. I am releasing the negative beliefs that linger in the depths of my mind. I am releasing the tension that resides in my shoulders and jaw, as well as the tension in the rest of my body. I am releasing the need to have any external approval or validation. I am releasing any negative judgements towards myself and others. I am releasing all that does not serve my highest self.
Sending love to all and here’s to everyone having a positively transformative eclipse season!
