Letting Myself Be Seen While Learning to Be Myself
Letting Myself Be Seen While Learning to Be Myself Happy Monday, beautiful! 💕 I’m learning that knowing what I bring and helping someone else recognize it require different things from me.

When I Stop Talking, I Hear More
Happy Friday, beautiful! 💕 I’ve grown so much through my willingness to be silent. To stop talking for a moment and allow the world to share something with me. I’m discovering how much there is to hear when I give myself time to listen without already knowing what I’m listening for. Sometimes I enter a…

Is It Growing, or Is It Swelling?
Happy October, beautiful! 💕 Yesterday, while listening to a church sermon, I heard something that made me stop and take a breath: swelling can look like growth, but swelling comes from injury.

The Joy of Noticing Yourself
Good morning, beautiful ☀️✨ Happy Monday! I have been thinking about how yummy it is to notice yourself. Not judge yourself. Not analyze every little thing you do. Not look for something that needs to be fixed. I mean simply having enough space inside yourself to notice you. I had moment after moment of that…

This Could Be a Lexapro Commercial
Good morning, beautiful ☀️✨ It’s Friday, I’m back home, I’m in my own bed, and after two weeks of being a caregiver to my mom, I am slowly getting back to myself. And one of the yummiest things I brought home with me is the realization that I am TRULY a mental health advocate. Y’all,…

The Beauty of Growth in Hard Moments
Happy Taco Tuesday 🌮✨ September showed up, and apparently I had other plans. LOL. I am just getting a chance to sit down and write because for the past few weeks, I have had the privilege of being a caregiver to my 77-year-old mom. And I use the word privilege intentionally. Has it been easy?…
