• So this morning my phone rang unexpectedly when I had just sat down to drink my morning smoothie and get in a little reading. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And to my surprise it was a call my from beloved grandfather. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I have a very special bond with my Grampa. Since as far back as I can remember (about 3 years old) I have adored him. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I spent several years of my adolescence living with my grandparents and he took on the role of a father to me, since I’ve never really had someone to fill that role in my life. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Friends, cherish the time you get to have with your grandparents and parents. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My Grampa turned 81 this past January, and fortunately is still in good health. But I know I won’t have him here forever and the thought is paralyzing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m promising myself not to let too much time pass before our next call. (In case you wondered, he lives in Michigan and I’m in Florida) because we don’t get to see each other much, calls are what we have. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Time with him, his wisdom, his words and of course his hug when I see him - make everything better. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So if it’s been an awkward minute or so since you’ve last spoken to someone you care about, I encourage you to make the call or do the old fashioned thing and show up at their door. Because what have you got to lose? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Happy Tuesday Friends!

  • Did you know that plants are good for your health? And I don’t mean the ones you eat, lol. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For real though, they’re so much more than just beautiful greenery to add that finishing touch to your home decor. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you asked me a year ago to get a house plant, I would have laughed, because I could barely keep myself alive, let alone anything else! But then I had a whim to try. And guess what? I failed terribly. I sent 2 plants right to plant heaven. But I wanted it so badly I knew I had to learn how to take care of plants and that’s exactly what I did. So on that note, I thought I’d share a few of the awesome benefits of having houseplants with you and maybe even convince you to get a live plant of your own. (I see you over there with your faux plants telling yourself you have a black thumb). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •the first benefit is pretty well known that plants clean your air and help you breath better. •they also have a way of making us feel more connected to the outdoors and less boxed up inside; which can improve your mental headspace. •and with a healthy mind, your body will also get a boost. So plants can actually help make your immune system better! •lastly, they help you be a more compassionate person. You have something that you have to care for and keep alive and it changes you. Where are all my other #plantlovers with me on this!? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So if you’re thinking you might want to get plant now, I thought I’d recommend a couple of my favourites that are easy to care for and require minimal effort and sunlight. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •Golden Pothos •Sanseviera (aka snake plant) •Philodendron •English Ivy ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Tell me in the comments below if you have a #houseplant - which type of plant is your favourite? And if you don’t yet have any plants, tell me why you haven’t taken the plunge :)

  • The last month or so this statement has been reoccurring randomly throughout my life. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I have been given this advice from a friend directly, I’ve read these words in a book, and have finally decided to meditate on them myself, when I could no longer ignore the message I’ve been given. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So I’m doing it. Scared, terrified, afraid of failing and all the things. I’m afraid to be vulnerable and show a deeper side of me I’ve always kept hidden away. But I know that I cannot be alone in this anymore. We were not meant to walk this road alone. I know what I share may not be for everyone, but even if it’s only for one person, that’s good enough for me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My blog is about to undergo some changes and I’m about to share more of my heart and life with y’all. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For those of you who are here already, thank you for being a part of my life and journey and I can’t wait to have you along for the ride.

  • Happy Anniversary babe! I remember our wedding like it was yesterday... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Some of the best memories that day.. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The ice cream truck before photos, the sweet and funny toasts by our siblings and best friends, and the dancing.. Little did I know you are a dancing queen when your song comes on. I still can’t believe you can do the splits! lol ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The best memory though was your smile. The way you looked at me then, is the same way you look at me now.. maybe not when I’m hangry, lol, but most of the time when I’m not.. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Can’t wait to see what the future holds for us. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thanking God for you today and everyday my love... ❤️ @josh_enpcoaching

  • The biggest wall you gotta climb is the one you build in your mind. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m constantly the one getting in my own way or telling myself I can’t. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Nothing good can come from that kind of self talk. But none the less, the little voice creeps in sometimes.. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s so easy to get sucked into the comparison trap or the fear trap and next thing you know you don’t feel worthy, you don’t feel like your good enough, you don’t feel like you can.. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But you can. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s a wall we build, that blocks us from the desires of our hearts, pursuing our dreams and building a life that makes us happy to be alive. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Whether you gotta find a way to tear down that wall or climb over it, it’s always going to boil down to you. It starts with a personal decision and dedication to not settle in, behind your wall. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You may bleed, you may cry, you may fall down 100 times... but you gotta keep pushing though. Nothing amazing ever comes without great trial and perseverance. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I pray you find the courage inside of you to keep on dreaming and believing you can..and pray for me too! Lord knows I need it!

  • Love the skin you’re in. . Truth is, I still struggle with this sometimes. . Rarely do I admit it out loud, because to say it makes my stomach cringe at the sake of being vulnerable and sharing my insecurities and people judging me. . But you know what? It doesn’t matter what other’s think and say, you have to wake up every day and love you. Love your body, your heart and your life. . Why do we criticize our bodies and tear apart our self worth every time we stand in front on the mirror? Because society is telling us we’re not skinny enough and not pretty enough? Is that really okay? Is that the way you want your little girls to grow up and feel about themselves? . It breaks my heart to hear young girls already comparing their bodies to other girls they see. . We have to start loving ourselves better. We have to look deeper into the character we possess and the person we are. We have to practice positive self talk and self love. . Our children will learn from our behavior and see our mindset changing as we become better at loving who we are.. . And it’s not enough to just stop there. Ladies, love your friends. Compliment them, genuinely. Tell them what makes them beautiful. Stop the comparison game. No one wins, I promise you. . So go out there and love your friends, your daughters, and the next time you get in front of the mirror, speak love to yourself, not hate.. What’s one thing you love about yourself, inside or out? Drop your answer below 👇🏻😊
