Peace is a five-letter word that for me means… Protecting my energy Engaging only with those who treat myself and my family with respect Accepting what I cannot change and moving forward Choosing to focus on who and what holds the most value to me Existing in my true form; being unapologetically myself We will all experience situations where we are torn between doing what we know is best for us and what would ruffle the least amount of feathers…
For many around the globe, January represents a fresh start and a new chapter. While you can certainly make a goal for yourself any time of the year, now seems to be the time when people do it the most. Today I want to talk about something called a Vision Board. It is an easy activity and daily practice to help you stay focused and achieve your goals for the year ahead!If you’ve read the book The Secret or seen…
Happy New Year! Guys – we did it. 2020 is over! And while I realize that the new year does not flip a switch in world events, I will say that I feel optimistic and hopeful about what this year has in store. Part of me is genuinely hopeful that Covid will be less of a concern by this year’s end. I think (and hope) that the vaccines being administered will be successful and that with vaccination and continued adherence…
It is truly hard to believe that 2020 is soon coming to an end. I think that we can all agree that this year has been unlike any other that we have experienced. I’ve told this story a few times but I continue to tell it because it is a perfect example of the lack of control that we have when it comes to outside forces. Two weeks before the pandemic struck in the United States, I had one of…
Hello there readers. I hope that you are feeling and doing well ❤ Today I want to talk about the Lotus flower and why we can all learn something from it (especially with what is going on in the world right now). The lotus is a beautiful flower that originates in Asia. The thing that makes this flower so special is the way that it grows. “The Lotus plant is an aquatic perennial, native to southern Asia and Australia and…
The word rut seems to be the word for 2020 so far. It has been a difficult few months. While I still don’t believe that two-year-olds are “terrible” sometimes they are HARD to manage. I have been feeling some serious parent burnout lately. Being home all day with a 2-year-old and socializing for the most part, with only one adult, my husband, day in day out can leave me feeling pretty understimulated mentally, a bit isolated and honestly pretty lonely….
The beginning of 2020 has proven to be an interesting time. As I’ve mentioned in recent posts, I’ve been in a bit of a rut with my blog and honestly, a rut in my life in general. There are some things going on right now that I have no control of but affect me daily. I can admit that I’m the kind of person who needs to have a sense of control in my life and of course this is…
In the past few years, the term “self-care” has been everywhere – and this is a great thing! I’m personally thankful to be living in a time where we as a society, women especially, are learning to prioritize taking time to care for our wellbeing amidst wrangling home life, parenting, family obligations, careers, and everything else that ends up on our plate. Self-care is taking time to make sure that your mental, physical, emotional and spiritual needs are being met….
When a friend, partner, or even a family member exits your life closure is not guaranteed. In most cases, you don’t get real closure unless you seek it out. Some people will even argue that the entire concept of closure is a myth and that no one ever truly feels genuine closure. I personally disagree with this. I do think there are exceptions, but in my experience closure and acceptance of a situation are somewhat synonymous and often obtainable. Not…
Happy Wednesday readers! Today I want to share with you some affirmation printables/downloads that I have been using specifically in the morning to get my day off to the right start. Before I get into the free printables, I want to share with you why I’ve started using affirmations in my mornings again. My daughter is a morning person through and through. I love mornings too, but there’s a stark difference between waking up early and savoring a cup of…
