‘be proud of who you are, not ashamed of how someone else sees you’ when you make the decision to better your life, focus on yourself & love yourself – people are going to say things about it. people closest to you might react because they will feel affected by the changes you’re going through. […]
just don’t
what’s the very BEST advice that your mom ever gave you?? or maybe your dad? in our home, my mama was always dropping wisdom & she’s still the first person i turn to, to vent or get some perspective on tough situations. well, she said something when i was a little girl that i continue […]
changing seasons
after everything we’ve been through in 2020, & everything we continue to go through… why are we still being so dang hard on ourselves?! just the fact that we’ve made it to august should have us jumping up & down with joy & celebrating ourselves! but of course, pandemic or not, life goes on & […]
warmer weather & sunnier days
the other night while video chatting with one of my favourite people, they mentioned how fast summer was going by & now i can’t help but notice that it kind of is! but the last couple of summer seasons just dragged by for me. at first i was so brokenhearted, that i felt like every […]
forgive yourself
forgiveness. it’s a pretty heavy topic around here & something that i’ve thought a lot about for a really long time. i, like most people, can carry around a few guilty feelings. things i feel bad about or ashamed of or embarrassed by. they weigh us down & just feel heavy. well, for me, most […]
be proud
not just proud… SUPER proud! even though i’m absolutely exhausted right now & reclining in my la-z-boy with my laptop while writing this. i not only made it through my return to work this week without freaking out or melting down but i also had the best time ever! like in a ‘haven’t been this […]
what i’m doing
right now i am right on the edge. tomorrow will be the first time in about 4 months that i will be around other people as i return to work & i don’t know how i’m going to handle it. i’m well aware that i am one of the lucky ones who was not only […]
stop. and look…
‘stop. and look…’ really take a second, to take it all in. i know it’s become almost a cliche – but look at where you are now & how far you’ve come. look at all the things you have right now that you wished for, that you worked for. look at how you’ve moved past […]
sweet snack swaps
i am a snacker. and while i know that’s not a personality trait, it’s definitely one of the things that pops into my mind when i think about my favourite things! and lately, it’s been cookies. but i’m very, very, very picky when it comes to them & i’ve spent quite a bit of time […]
the vision is so clear
the last couple of nights as i’ve been falling asleep, i’ve had some really clear visions on who i want to be & how i want my future to look. it’s not something i tried to do & i’m honestly not sure where these ideas are coming from but i’m not complaining & i’m certainly […]
