I saw two different cars with license plates this morning that had “000.” I don’t often see that angel number, but I remember making a cute design for all angel numbers back when I was putting them on my Instagram, so I pulled up what I made:
“New opportunities and new connections.” I have been decluttering our home and letting go of old mindsets and habits – all of which is making room for the “new” to arrive. I am trusting in the universe and my angels and I am feeling grateful- thank you, thank you, thank you!
I decided to take December off of social media, so I deleted Instagram off of my phone. I already had Facebook deleted as I barely go on there, but I did go on once I had our wedding photos and that’s when I found myself back in a cycle of constantly checking on my posts.
Yesterday my phone widget told me that the full moon was arriving today, so I had decided to re-download Instagram for the purpose of going to a specific astrology Instagram page I follow (Sisters Village- I know I’ve mentioned them before) for the full moons tasks/prompts. Luckily it was easy to just go on and get off- literally I just logged in, got my screenshots of her page, and re-deleted the app.
Below is the checklist she posted for the full moon, and as you’ll see, I was already checking #2 off the list! I love when things like this happen, because it feels like a sign that I am in alignment. I’ve been trying to be very mindful and present these past few weeks, and I have been feeling good mentally, and I want to keep up with this especially during this winter season.
Ironically enough, when I went to screenshot her post, I had just finished cleaning the bathroom, which included decluttering the linen closet and getting rid of old towels. I recently had decluttered our kitchen and downstairs closet as well, and honestly it feels so good to just get rid of things that we don’t use. So now I just have to work on bullet points 3 and 4!
I did recently get to connect with my family in Iowa since I took a trip out there last weekend to see Wicked with my Grandma! I’ve been kind of connecting more with myself than with friends though, but it is purposeful for this short period of time. I take a while to recharge and get back in tune with myself, and since this entire year was so busy with friends and family with the whole wedding happening, I’m really enjoying this quiet time with just myself and my husband.
I do want to connect with friends soon, and I have plans these next couple weekends to have fun, creative times with friends, but until then I’m gonna enjoy this weekend of peace and reconnecting with myself during this full moon. Below are the prompts that also came from that Instagram page, incase anyone else wants to join in with this time of reconnecting. Sending love to everyone this Sunday!
This morning I wasn’t feeling well when I woke up, so I decided to stay home from work. I’m lying in bed watching “Is It Cake?” and I know once I stop writing this, I’ll be slowly drifting back to sleep.
I am just feeling blessed to work for bosses where I don’t feel completely anxious or stressed about calling off work. I feel like almost everywhere else I’ve worked, when you called off you were treated like you’re in trouble- like having to prove that you were sick with doctor’s notes and what not. Like not every illness requires a doctor’s visit (or copay for that matter); sometimes just rest and hydration is a what you need.
I may write more later today after I take this nice nap. I hope everyone has a good Monday!
It’s the second to last day of November, which means the end of the year is upon us. It also means it’s now officially Christmas, so don’t mind me obsessing over lights and other cute decorations for the rest of the winter season LOL. As we come to a close on 2024, I can’t help but feel so grateful and emotional looking back at this incredible year!
This year was all about our wedding, which makes sense considering my husband proposed a year and four days ago. In March, I went dress shopping with my mom and close friends and I was lucky enough to find my wedding dress! Not only was it the first dress I tried on, but it was also on clearance for $90! I remember I had a night out with a couple of my high school besties that night too, and it was just such a great time!
In July, me and those same two friends went to Minneapolis to see Qveen Herby live in concert! This was one of my dream concerts and I got to see her with my best friends on the day before my birthday!!! Then on my birthday we all went shopping at the Mall of America and just had so much fun! That experience also offered opportunities for me to reflect and grow, and I am so thankful to have these memories.
At the end of September, my now husband and I flew down to Florida to start our wedding trip!! We were able to spend a few days in Pensacola Beach just chilling with my family and then we had his family and our friends trickle in before the actual wedding day. I’m honestly so glad we had a pre-vacation prior to our wedding- highly recommend this! Then at sunset on 10/2/2024, we said our “I do’s” and celebrated our marriage with all of our closest loved ones. We celebrated with a nice dinner afterwards and enjoyed a fun night!
After the wedding we went over to Orlando and enjoyed Harry Potter World before we left in a hurry due to hurricane Milton, and honestly we were so happy to come home and just be with our fur babies in our own bed. We had our Til Death Do Us Party a couple weeks after we got back, and since then we’ve just been enjoying the quiet after all the busyness.
We were invited to our friends’ home yesterday for Thanksgiving, and we enjoyed a delicious meal with them and their kids- this was honestly my favorite Thanksgiving so far! I never enjoyed the holiday as a kid because I don’t like any of the classic Thanksgiving food, but honestly this year I tried the ham my friend made and it was good! She did a great job and I was happy to see other side options rather than the stuffing and green bean casserole I usually avoid.
I know I only listed a few core events of this year, but these few events have made 2024 one of, if not the best year of my life. I also knew it would be, mainly because we were getting married, but it’s still so great that I had so much time with great friends and family this year. My heart and soul are just feeling so full, and I’m excited to see what the rest of the year brings.
There’s still a whole month left of memories to make, and now that it’s Christmastime, it’s the most wonderful time of the year!!🎄♥️✨

I try to start my day with gratitude, and when I do this I always find myself going to the first moment of the day and being thankful for our bed. My husband and I get to wake up with a roof over our head in a comfortable, warm bed next to each other every day- and this is something I will forever be grateful for.
I am grateful everyday when both my husband and I make it to and from work safely, as I learned at a young age how impermanent life really is. This entire experience is temporary, which is both terrifying and relieving. It’s terrifying because everything we have grown to love here is simply temporary, and we have no idea how long any relationship, job, or life will last. It’s also relieving for the same reasons, because when we are in the depths of darkness and struggle, we can stop and recognize that this is absolutely temporary.
We’re allowed to change and make new choices. If we feel stuck or unmotivated, we have the ability to move on from people, places and jobs and move onto the next opportunity life brings. If you’re upset with your habits and how you spend your day to day life, write it all out and look at what you want to change. I’m writing this as I walk on my treadmill, because I want to be the person who cares about moving her body and being healthy.
When I think about reasons to workout and to eat better, I always am thinking about my future self. I’m someone who wants to become a new mom in her 30s and I’m also someone who wants to feel physically and mentally well, and I know that moving my body and eating healthier will help with all of those goals. I’m just trying to stay in the mindset of doing the things that my dream self would do. Writing, working out, connecting with friends, and eventually becoming a mom and figuring out the balance of it all.
Sending love to everyone on this lovely Tuesday. From what I have seen online, between today and tomorrow Pluto is entering Aquarius. Pluto has been in Capricorn since 2008, and boy have I changed a lot from 2008-2024. I’m determined to take advantage of this astrological shift and focus on my personal goals and my wellbeing. I deserve to live the life I dream about, and I can start taking steps to do that today.
Good morning! Today is a great day to stay grounded in your energy and intention. The full moon is here, it’s Friday, and you get to choose how you feel today.
I personally am feeling great as I type this in my warm bed. I’m gonna get ready for work here soon and after work I’m meeting up with a friend for a late lunch! I’m excited to catch up with her.
This full moon I am really leaning into faith in my angels, but also in myself. I have the ability to create the life I desire- I mean I’ve literally done that so far! I often find myself hiding behind limiting beliefs and unhealed wounds from childhood, but I am actively embracing my shadow self and working to shed light on the darker parts of me.
We’re all humans, we all have parts of us that we have been ashamed or embarrassed of, but hiding them away and trying to ignore them won’t make them go away. We have to acknowledge our pain and shame, and give ourselves patience and understanding for who we were.
Everything in your life has led you to this moment- be sure to honor it all.
Woke up blessed and able to move my body, so I decided to do just that. I am writing this as I walk on my treadmill- just getting a little movement in before my work day. I noticed when I did this a few days last week that I felt so much more calm throughout the day, and I just feel so much better knowing I took time for myself.
I am working on my mindset this time around, as I’ve had past struggles with my weight and how obsessive I have become when I was trying to lose weight before. This time around I am not working out because I am shameful of how I look / feel, but instead because I deserve to feel good and be able to move my body with ease as I continue to grow older.
I think about how I do want to be a mom one day, and even if that never comes to fruition, I will definitely want to be someone who travels. People who are constantly traveling typically are used to walking and hiking a lot, so either way my future goals need me moving now!
I’m not calorie counting or obsessively following a routine, I am simply listening to my body and paying attention to how I feel after certain workouts and certain foods. I deserve to feel healthy and be happy about what I am feeding my body, and I am just trying to sit in that deserving mindset, rather than one of shame.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Tuesday and everyone takes some time for themselves today, even if it’s two minutes of mindful breathing- you deserve it.
Good morning and Happy Monday/ November 11! I slept a bit longer than planned this morning, but before I stretch and get ready for work I just wanted to set some intentions and focus on the blessings around me.
Today is a new day with new opportunities, may I be calm and present enough to see them all around me.
May I remain centered in my own peace and abundance, while quieting any outside noise that pulls me out of alignment.
My health is my priority; I feel so blessed to have access to exercise equipment as well as healthy food. I am also blessed to have my angels and guides assisting me in my health journey.
May I stay focused on the blessings and beauty that is my life, never taking for granted all of the love around me.
May today be filled with synchronicities and guided messages from our angels, and may we be aware enough to receive them.
May my eyes allow me to see what I need to see, may my ears allow me to hear what I need to hear, and may my heart be open to all of the kindness and joy in the world.
Today was definitely a nap day, and I am not one who normally takes naps. To be fair, I did have a pounding headache that wasn’t going away and I felt like sleeping it off was the best option.
I did a grocery pick up order today and am about to get ready to make our lunches for the week! It’s so much easier to just have our lunches ready to bring to work, so as much as I don’t necessarily look forward to putting it all together, I love the benefits that come from putting the effort in.
This past week I got up early three days of the week and started my day on my treadmill. I honestly could feel the difference in my mood throughout the day and I’m excited to get back to it again tomorrow!
Tomorrow is also 11/11, and being the witchy weirdo I am, I love that!! It’s known to be a powerful day for manifesting, so make sure you take time to be intentional with your day and what energy you’re putting into onto the world. As long as remember to tune into gratitude and love, and you will feel the blessings and abundance pour in.
Sending love to everyone who needs a little extra right now; you are all stronger than you know.
