Today was a good day. I celebrated my birthday with the people I love (minus a few) and it was just so awesome to see my family and have us all together. I am very grateful. Hope you all are having a wonderful weekend.

I woke up to blue skies and a cool breeze. The birds are singing. The sun is peeking through the clouds. I just know it’s going to be a good day. Why? Because I’m smiling and just grateful I am here, happy and healthy. This next year will be filled with all I need and more and that brings me peace. My 41 years of life has brought me extensive knowledge and experience on many things, both good and bad. But I’m still here and always striving to be my best self. Happy Birthday to me 🥳 Here’s to a fantastic year!

I’ve been hearing the term ‘new normal’ way too much lately. Let’s be honest, this is not our new normal. At least it’s not mine. I’d say it’s more of a temporary set of rules we are suggested to follow. Personally, I believe it’s a bit much but regardless of how you feel accepting this way of life is depressing. And I am all about being positive so it certainly doesn’t fit into MY normal. And it doesn’t have to. Because only you can make your life amazing and allowing negative shit to bring you down and drag you around is no good. I always remind myself that bad energy only attracts more of it. Putting good vibes out into the world and being positive will bring good things your way AND rise the vibration around you. It’s sort of like a mirror – you reflect what you’re feeling. So try to smile, be grateful and move forward in a way that is best for you. Feel the sunshine and flow with it. Chase it. Whatever makes you happy and brings you peace – keep doing it. You’re allowed and most certainly expected to. And anyone who will tell you different is probably miserable themselves so not sure you should be taking advice from them anyway. Just be kind and keep moving. Try to understand and accept, even when it’s hard. Be calm, even when it’s rough. And spread love, because the world around you truly needs it.

Space

SPACE has always been something I needed. Whatever I was doing in my life I required the necessary space for myself to thrive. Whether I chose to write, reflect, create, dance, listen to music, sit in silence, go for a walk or drive, watch tv or a movie, etc… it didn’t matter. Within this space I was free. Isolating yourself from the world around you is healthy, acceptable and quite frankly, smart. We all need time for ourselves. It allows us to reflect, wonder, question, and rest. Not only rest our bodies but our mind as well. No one to answer to, no one to consider, nothing to tend to. It’s just you and space. That surely sounds nice, doesn’t it? It is.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The space I am currently creating around myself has been glorious. No drama. No bullshit. No negative energy. It’s pretty awesome. I seriously recommend you take a good look around and eliminate the things that annoy you, piss you off, or straight up drag you down. It’s not hard. There is a solution for everything. Whatever it is you must do, just do it. We all need to rise up in our own way. No one has the right to invade your space. No one. Exist peacefully and all will be good.
