Hello and happy Sunday! We are so close to Halloween, I can taste the candy and feel the spookiness, even here in sunshiny Florida! It’s been a great week, so why don’t I get started on what I’m grateful for? Gratitude for this week Something funny that happened this week was seeing a snake during my daily power walk. I’ve given running a break because I hurt my foot somehow, but I ran like the wind when I saw another tiny black creepy crawly on the sidewalk. Judging by the ache in my quads and the yelps I made, I set a new record for the 50-meter dash. Usain Bolt has competition now. ...

This Week Made My Heart Sing
Wow, Sunday already! I don’t understand how March felt like it took two years to pass, but September and October flew by in under a week. Weird, huh? Gratitude for the week This week, I was thankful for all the support I received on my posts about my insecurities. I was genuinely surprised by all the kindness, wisdom, and advice shared on both my blog and on Instagram. Complete strangers sent messages or left comments talking about how much they could relate and how brave they thought I was, which was super encouraging. Thank you so much for that. I was having serious jitters about being ...
The best affirmation for this week
It is already Sunday! You know what that means. Affirmations and journal prompts. Let’s get started. My last affirmation was “I am in charge of how I feel; today, I am choosing to trust”. It was the perfect affirmation for the time. Easing into trusting again is like easing into a bath that is a few degrees too hot. I had to get in one inch at a time. But letting myself trust my own judgment, as well as others that have come into my life recently, has been so rewarding. I feel more open and loving toward everyone in my life now, and less hesitant to speak my mind or make a choice. It’s so ...
How I Found Empowerment Through Gratitude
Happy Sunday! Wow, we’re already more than halfway through September. I took a mental health break and got some sunshine and rest. That also resulted in a gnarly jellyfish sting. I’ve never had one before, and I can’t say that I enjoy it. My affirmation from the last post, I choose myself, even if others refuse to, was very impactful. I needed to do some serious self-care after reaching the acceptance portion of my broken engagement. I thought I had reached it before, but the final stage meant actively choosing myself by standing up for myself. The strength to leave the past where it was ...
Your Weekly Dose of Gratitude
It’s that time again. Sunday! Let’s get started making next week the best week ever. I’m thinking of fireworks, rainbows, and a parade of happy dogs! Maybe my expectations are set a bit high, but the heart wants what it wants. My favorite part of this week… had to be having a dance party all by myself in my bedroom on Friday night. Being unable to go out dancing has finally gotten on my nerves. Dancing is not something I do well, but dammit if it isn’t entertaining for me and everyone around me. It was nice to just wiggle everything out. I’ve been working really hard on some upcoming things ...
I am enough – Week 3 of Short Affirmations for anxiety
Last week's affirmation, "I am open and ready to receive" proved itself to be exactly what I needed. I was met with quite a few unexpected challenges throughout the week. It was enough to make me really put my affirmation to the test. The biggest challenge was getting into a small car accident. There were no injuries, thank goodness. My car suffered some damage, and it was a daunting task to ask, "How can I look at this situation positively? There's nothing positive about a car accident." Eventually, I stumbled upon it after pouting for fifteen minutes. I became grateful for what I had ...
