May we all be more like children… quick to laugh

May we all be more like children… quick to laugh, learn, & forgive.

I am thankful for my boys and all the beautiful things they’ve taught me about life and love at such a young age.

They don’t judge or hold grudges and they always seem to find the JOY in something.

It’s a beautiful thing and I hope we can all learn a little something from the generations that come after us.

“Always go with your passions. Never ask if they are realistic or not.” 🌙🖤✨

I’m so happy I decided to follow this random idea I had to sell my own notepads and stickers. I saw a lack of self-care and spiritual goods and I wanted to fill that gap.

I can’t wait to see where else this little side gig takes me!

Link in bio for new sticker. 💖✌️

When was the last time you treated yourself with the love & care that you give to your children or friends?

Personally, I find myself encouraging everyone else and then, I have the audacity to doubt myself. 🤦🏻‍♀️

When I catch myself in those moments, I meditate and write in my affirmations notepad. I do a brain dump, I write encouraging messages to myself, I ask myself questions – anything it takes to clear my mind.

Sometimes, I use the quote on the page to inspire me. Other times, I just let it all out.

Mindset is so important. It can lead us down so many paths, that’s why I work so hard to create a routine that keeps me in a positive headspace.

& that’s why I created this affirmations notepad. For those of you who are like me – we need visual reminders to do better and be better.

It has 40 soft 32lb pages with 20 different affirmations, doubled up. The watercolor is vibrant and beautifully styled. I chose colors that would POP and inspire JOY.

WHAT ARE YOU MANIFESTING? 🖤✨

I’ll be announcing the winner of this gorgeous prize pack as soon as I can!

Until then, let’s talk about what you’re manifesting in your life. For me, it’s more passive income, aligned opportunities, creativity, and peace of mind.

People will remember whatever version of YOU they

People will remember whatever version of YOU they CHOOSE to remember. 🤷🏻‍♀️

The toxic you. The confused you. The disloyal you. The depressed you. The angry you. The lost you. The “insert gossip here” you.

Your GROWTH doesn’t matter to those who don’t want to see you GROW.

You’ll always be labeled as something you’re not by some love you used to know; by someone who doesn’t care to know the CURRENT you.

When you hurt someone, it’s difficult for them to imagine that you’re not the same person who hurt them before.

Learn to be okay with others not seeing who you are now. You don’t need to prove that you’re worth getting to know (again).

Because you’re worth it to the people who ALREADY see you. You’re enough for the people who see your flaws and say, “Hey, I still love her and want to be near her.”

Hold onto those people because they are one of life’s many treasures.

I know you’re afraid right now.

You don’t know what’s coming next. You are too scared to even think about it. Everything feels so uncertain.

I know it’s hard but you will make it through this. Just like you get through everything else:

You’ll pull strength from within. Strength that you didn’t even know you had. You’ll find new ways to cope, new people who will give you hope & support.

You may be in a daze, holding your breath the entire time. You may cry, hurt, and ask God or the universe to make everything alright again. You may be angry.

That’s okay. All of it.

Whatever you’re going through right now, please allow yourself to feel it. It’s okay to be mad or sad. You have the right to FEEL without guilt or shame.

This is your hurt. Your pain. Your experiences. Live them.

Try to find the joy and Remember: you can do hard things.
