All About Love

-

I took a break. I was approaching real burn out in my career and personal life. I moved, I traveled, and I healed. Wellness is a journey and it requires consistency and dedication. I had to go new places and visit places I thought I’d never return to. I had to take some long looks in the mirror and identify ways that I was holding myself back from being the best version of myself. This was a special journey that I really had never experienced before. New knowledge comes from new experiences. Lessons I’ve been learning I will be sharing here. I’m excited to share a few things that helped me in hopes that I helps just one person. This is where my heart has lead me and this is what my higher self does. I do this in honor of her. 


The best version of myself is creative and strives to find outlets that allow her to showcase her works. The best version of myself has a soft life. She is not constantly pulled into situations as a fixer. She can just exist. She can enjoy the simple pleasure of life like a long walk or a home cooked meal. She knows love, is loved, and is love. I’ve been reading All About Love by bell hooks and I’m convinced that love is the key to abundance. Loving oneself enough to create healthy, authentic community that encourages free thinking and wellness is the first step. When we dwell in loving environments we can heal ourselves. We all know hurt people hurt people, but what about healed people healing people? I believe this. When we are loved well and healed from major traumas, we can love others and support them on their wellness journey. When we are loved well and showing love to others, we embody love. We are the physical manifestation of love. We are trend setters and healers. These are a couple journal prompts to help you connect with your inner higher self. 


  1. What does my dream life really look like? What do I do, how do I feel, and who is with me?
  2. What parts of my current life are not for my wellness, and what habits do I have that perpetuate unhealthy cycles?
  3. What can I do TODAY that my higher self will thank me for tomorrow? 

These three questions are a great way to start getting to know yourself. It’s essential that we understand our dreams and pursue them. Remember that the universe is working in your favor. Find peace in the fact that you’re not alone in this journey.

Take the Next Step

 Take the Next Step When I do not know what to do, I choose to do one thing that feels right. Sometimes it is making a cup of tea or calling a friend. I do not always know what to do, but that does not keep me from doing something. There is always a step that can be taken. For me, low stakes actions are so comforting. I can do one small thing for my health that leads to major differences. I crave a sense of control, and knowing that I can do one small thing that helps me feel in control is so affirming. Taking a shower, calling a friend, reading a book, or choosing to rest. By setting an alarm for 30 minutes or 1 hour, I feel accomplished. I feel like I made a choice for my wellness. To anyone that feels like that I losing control, I challenge you to take one step. Taken whatever step you need for your wellness. Light a candle, cry, curse, or take a break. Whatever your next step is, make it consciously and confidently because it is your choice. You get to take back control of your...

Magical Tip of the Week May 12, 2023

Feelings are Temporary. I have been in therapy for years, but this week the most groundbreaking sentence was said to my by my therapist. She told me that feelings are temporary, but what we believe is long lasting. I have always had big, all-consuming feelings. I have a hard time separating my feelings from the feelings of those around me. I have a hard time coming back down after working myself up, but this small shift in thinking has truly helped. She made it very clear that my affirmations are my beliefs despite what I am feelings when I say them. I believe that I have peace, I am beautiful, I am abundant, I am loved, I am healthy, I am enough, and that I have genuine community. I tell myself these things regularly. I believe these things to be true, but I often feel things that challenge these beliefs. I sometimes feel frustrated or that I am lacking in some are, but that does not change my core belief that I have peace and I am abundant. I may feel at odds with a member of my comm...

All I Want for Christmas (As a lady in her 20s)

-
 The holidays are complicated; especially when you're in your 20s. The stage of life that you are in may vary drastically depending on a variety of things. People may consider you hard to shop for. People may not know what to get you. So many people ask me what I want for birthdays, holidays, and other important events. I am working on compiling a list of practical gifts for people in a stage of life similar to mine. I am a 20 something. I have a dog. I live alone. When I'm not working, I am spending time with my friends and family. I prioritize self care. I have a variety of hobbies, and its sometimes hard for the people around me to keep track of where I am, what I'm doing, and why. If this is you or anyone you know, keep reading. You will probably find something you'll love.  1. Apple Air Tag I'm a busy lady, and I forget things. I have the apple watch and an iphone, so I'm constantly pinging my phone.
