Sometimes, taking steps back isn't a bad thing, it simply allows you to find a new path, maybe ine that's better for you. Perspective can change everything, so don't let yourself get stuck in a single one. Finding that new side may allow for more creativity, more love, more light, whatever it is you need in your life. I'm working on this myself now, all the time, finding more positivity and light in my life because I need it, I want it. If I need to be that light, I will be. Whatever it tak...

Thankful For My Family

It's a time of thanks for many things in life, and I've been working hard to find all the things I'm truly thankful for. My family for their support, love, and pushing me in all the ways I love and hate. The friends I have had, lost, and still have. You've all taught me different things, and I'll remember that for as long as I can. My job, clients, and colleagues who give me purpose, allow me to help them while they also help me in return. I'm thankful for the resources I've found to bett...

Healing Journey

This reminds me of a conversation I had recently with a new author client. We had very different opinions of life today, of politics and other things. She grew up being taught to follow generational ideals and hatreds, whereas I had not. I had a very different perspective. It's not just generational hatred of other people and specifics that we have to unlearn, it's ideas of what marriage is, a real relationship is, what family means, ideas about jobs and personalities and other aspects of l...

Celebrate Your Friends

🙋‍♀️Raise your hands🙋‍♀️ if this is your resolution for the year! . With all the upcoming resolutions coming up that will no doubt be filled with weight loss, business success, and other things that are difficult to achieve, I want to highlight the little things this year. Celebrate the fact that you're happy. Celebrate being healthy. Celebrate family time. Celebrate your friends. Celebrate good sleep and numerous smiles. Not that all those other resolutions aren't good or worth aiming...

Never Expect

Manifestation Journal

This is the most accurate thing I've seen in a while.💙 This week, I have started doing a manifestation journal, started focusing more on my yoga, and starting and ending my day with gratitude to bring positivity and love into my life in abundance.💐 To be honest, I thought some of this yogi-type stuff was all just silly nonsense. You can't simply will something into being by meditating and thinking about it, right? But you can.🙏 I'm learning to see that because we are made of the very fabri...

a woman is shown with the caption saying praying for the woman i'll be in 2012 she's happy, healthy, and loved, living life unapologalogically, doing what she loves

I know, I'm technically a bit late in sharing this one, but I don't care, it still stands as 2024 is barely getting started. I'm learning to focus inward more this year, to focus more on what I can do to be a better person, to build a better life, to be happier and healthier, and all that starts within. So I will be praying to the universe to help me life a happy, loving, unapologetically great life.🌟 My new mantra lately has been simply this : I am safe. I am loved. I am happy. I am grate...

Don't Be Scared Quotes

This one is important, not just because it's true, but because this outlook changes how we handle big and small adjustments in our life.💙 I'm currently in a situation where I need to make a pretty big decision about my authoring career and how to handle it, and as much as my negative side wants to see this is a step backwards, I need to see it as a step sideways. I'm not stepping back or failing or starting over, I'm simply setting aside an endeavor so I can search for a better path forward....

an image of baby yoda holding a star in its mouth with the caption that reads, visual representation of me when i say sending u good vibes

I tell my closest friends and readers quite often that I will be sending them good vibes to heal from their sickness or find a better option or to get through their struggles. When I say it, I mean it.😅 I may not look quite like that, but believe that I do sit down, meditate, ask the universe the share my love and positive, healing vibes with those who need it, and if I can remember names, I list them!🙏 So if you need a little help getting those good vibes, drop a comment below, let me know...

Changing Myself

Pray Quotes

Organization Planning

I've stared at this image several times for far too long, soaking in it's wisdom. This hits me in so many ways every single time. This is something I struggle to see with progress images for workouts, yoga, and other things. I struggle to remember this when people change in a time you've not seen them for awhile. I struggle to remember this for myself. I want instant results, but nothing works that way, everything is gradual. So I'm now learning to focus on this as I grow and change in my...

Inspiration Aesthetic

Human Hand

I love the emotions and thoughts this image evokes in me, not gonna lie. In starting my manifestation journal last week, I had the thought to remind myself that it is possible to manifest the things we want into our lives because we are a part of the universe, made of the same basic components. People like to say we go back to the Earth, where we came from, but it's bigger than that. We're all made of stardust, essentially, so is the Earth, making us a part of the universe. We're a part of i...

a woman standing in front of a full moon with birds on her shoulder and the words she liked the moon because like herself, it shines its bright

Do you enjoy staring at the moon or stars? I do. It fills me with sense of wonder, eagerness to learn and explore, and sense of kinship, oddly enough. I feel as if I belong up there with them, seeing the universe from a new vantage point, watching everything with open eyes.😍 I don't feel alone under the stars, but I often can during the day. Not only am I alone a lot of the day with my daughter in school and husband at work, but a vast majority of my friends are across the world, only avai...

a sign that reads today's reminder you have to ask for what you want before it is given

Power Of Manifestation

This is where the power of manifestation begins. Asking what you seek from the universe.🙏 The hardest part of the process can be sticking with it, being patient, and allowing yourself and your process to progress at YOUR pace, not the pace you wish it would. I struggle with this often, things don't often happen in the time frame we wish, they happen when they are meant to. Trust that the universe knows EXACTLY when you need this.💙 Only when you remain open and trusting will the universe ans...

a poem written in gold stars on a blue background

A few years ago, I might have thought this was silly, that I wouldn't have many stars on that map. I mean, I've lived here my entire life in this little town, how many people could I have really affected? Now, though, I have friends halfway around the world, the stars I would be able to put down would be plentiful and more than I can probably count without getting lost. And a lot of that is thanks to the readers and author friends who have reached out, interacted with me, or helped me. Those...

a woman with long green hair and a quote on her face that says i will never fit in that one of my best qualiies

Sometimes I feel that I will truly never fit in. With my family. With friends. With other groups of people. The truth is, I don't have to. I'm unique. I stand out. I'm my own person, I don't compromise on my own qualities for the sake of being normal or fitting in with a crowd. I am unashamedly who I am. I make mistakes, I often have no filter between my brain and mouth and speak without thinking, and I can be obnoxious and loud. But I'm also loving, caring, and deeply emotional. I pour my...

a gold frame with a quote on it that says, i'm still learning to love the bits of me that i was told were ugly

Every. Single. Day. It's an effort that may never end, but I'm not giving up. I can't tell you how many times, growing up, that I've been told I'm too loud, I'm obnoxious, I'm ugly, I'm too thin, I'm too fat, I'm this, I'm that. It hurts. Being criticized all the time hurts. Bad. I looked in the mirror and saw nothing but the things others told me were bad. My nose is too big, my teeth are crooked, I have too many moles, my mouth is too big, my hair is ugly. It's always something. Now, I s...
