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 ...

A New Month of Gratitude
It’s September, look at that! Remember when March took two months to pass? The rest of the year sprinted by to make up for it, I guess. It’s only a few months until a new year starts. I think we’re all ready and waiting for that. My affirmation from last Sunday, I accept and release everything in my life that is beyond my power to change, ran through my mind many times. I released a Breakup Journal and went to a wedding. I honestly don’t think I would have been capable of either thing had I not let go of the almost unending waves of pain and sadness that followed my ended engagement. It ...
Sunday Gratitude for a Great Attitude
Sunday morning is looking a little cloudy, but I’m waking up alive and well so it’s still a blessing. This week has been more than an emotional roller coaster. It’s been more like bungee jumping down a tube of funhouse mirrors while trying to learn how to ride a unicycle. You figure that out. It was a lot. I had to dig deep for gratitude. There were a lot of times that I was not okay, but instead of breaking down, I remembered my affirmation: It’s okay not to be okay. It was enough for me to take some deep breaths and start over when I got frustrated. There were missed meetings, crossed ...
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 ...
Weekly Affirmation 2
Happy Sunday! Ready to start this next week with positive intentions, self-compassion, and love? Good, I am, too! Let’s start with gratitude for this past week. One good thing that happened to me this week… I got in contact with an old friend from Fort Walton Beach. He and I fell out of touch when I moved to Guam because I stopped using social media for my own well-being. I really hated how it made me feel. It was nice to spend an hour catching up and congratulating each other’s progress and listening to each other’s problems. It’s always nice to have a good heart to heart. This week I ...
Affirmation 1
I started this morning a little teary and downcast because my family is going its separate ways after the Thanksgiving holiday. I don't get to see them often, so I treasure those moments. But then I remembered that today is the start of my Weekly Affirmations. I chose an affirmation to focus on the possibilities of the present and future instead of living in the past, a habit that I need to break. Phone Wallpaper Something wonderful is about to happen to me. I'm putting this on a sticky note for my bathroom mirror, so it's the first thing I see each morning. I made a cute ...
