Oh how I love this quote. We have the power to make shit happen. To dream up a life we feel is worth living and then creating it. To imagine days that bring joy and happiness and manifesting that reality. Allow yourself to shine how you deserve. Live the life you want to live. Imagine it and make it come alive. Only you can do it. So get moving.

I remind myself this every day. Even though it’s pretty damn hard to put myself first when I have a family and two dogs to take care of, a home I constantly tend to, finances to stay on top of, daily things on my list to check off, and growing my business. Sometimes I feel like all the busy is smothering me and it’s hard to find the time to put me first. I know a lot of women, especially mothers may feel this way. And I hate it. This is a main reason I don’t want another child. It’s just too much of a balancing act and another kid would make it even harder. Besides, I always wanted just one so I’m completely happy and content with the sweet boy I have.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For me, adding more to my plate is NOT the answer. I want my life to be easier, NOT harder or more challenging. And I feel like this is a way of thinking that helps me thrive a bit more. It’s the idea of a simple life that allows me the time and space to put me first and love ME more. And also to be more creative which I NEED. I don’t want my life to just be #busy. I want my life to be fulfilling and enjoyable. I want to feel calm and happy. I want to feel at peace with myself and my thoughts. When there is too much to do that is not how I feel. And that’s why I am always trying to simplify, streamline, and lessen the burden of life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because LIFE should not feel like a burden. It should be a steady flow of happiness where you thrive and grow. And that’s my goal. It’s in this way of life that I can focus on myself and be the best me I can be. And we should all want that. When we put ourselves first and tend to our needs we can be our best selves for the people we love and also project that authenticity to the world around us. So treat yourself well because you deserve it. Treat yourself well because you are the only person who truly can. Treat yourself well because you are truly worth it.

These past few months there has been a shift within me. I’ve always been a positive person but lately my vision for the future just seems totally doable, as apposed to challenging (like it sometimes can be). My outlook is pure sunshine. And even though we have a lot going on and I have a ton of things on my mind, my drive to make shit happen is in full force. Between big work projects, holidays, Elliot’s bday party in May, my joint bday bash with my mom in July, various house projects, and planning our family vacation, I have more than plenty to keep me busy. My work hustle is on point, more than it ever was, and I’m doing my best to really focus on the growth of my business. Being positive is at the core of everything and when you surround yourself with the things you love it makes it so much easier to be happy. And that is what I strive for. My vision for the future is looking bright because I will NOT have it any other way. And that is my superpower.

Today isn’t a big holiday in our home but it’s memorable because it’s the anniversary of our engagement. And here we are 10 years later of being together, 6 years of marriage, and 2 years of being parents. The journey continues as it always has and I promise to remember that these moments are everything. Every moment matters and we should make the best of what life offers us. This morning I was full of joy as our son Elliot opened his Valentine’s Day gifts. A little tradition I officially started because he’s my one and only and I adore every little piece of him. Creating memories is the one thing we can all do and I’m doing my best to make every one count.
