❤️ this. Such an important reminder as we head into the bustle of the holiday season. Sometimes, a quick fix seems like it may be the answer when we are being challenged and stretched. When the road gets hard, remember to breathe, practice some good self care and stay the course. Don’t compromise your purpose with a back up plan. Your purpose is worth pursuing. Thanks for sharing this little gem, Ashley Postier

My arms are wrapped around them so dearly, I won’t ever let go.I’m feeling deeply thankful for these miraculous humans and incredibly joyful to be living this life, in all its light and darks, ups and downs, successes and failures. How I love my people (you!) and how I choose goodness. I choose love. And I choose the beauty of a REAL, wholehearted life. Happy Thanksgiving, my friends. ❤️

What if we could choose to keep our sights, energy and love on everything good — claiming it, naming it and owning it? What If we chose to disengage from the things that hurt us and bring us down? We would find ourselves feeling a little lighter and more focused on love. We would continue on a path of light and our energy would vibrate in unity with our goals. We would breathe more fluidly, we would find more freedom and we would have more goodness to offer others.

Today, I choose to turn away from everything that seeks to steer me away from love. I wish you the art of knowing where to invest yourself.

I couldn’t be more thankful to be spending some time in the city with these two!

Sometimes, a little makeover is all it takes. The seasons are changing and so are we. It’s important to listen to ourselves when our heart is telling us we need to rework or rebuild.

Recently, my daughter and I redecorated her bedroom from top to bottom. She was ready for a more mature, modern space (yes, she is 8 going on 18!). Now that her room is finally complete, I realized mine could use some updates and some serious TLC.

My life’s motto lately is “some is better than none.” While there is painting to be done on the walls, (sorry, Green Ground, it’s time for for fresh white and navy!), I was able to build a new dresser and accessorize with fun mirrors and such. I LOVE design and decided it was a great way build in some energetic and visual self care.

I’m feeling motivated, renewed and HAPPY! Loving our living spaces is a great way to claim love for our lives. There are so many ways, in addition to refreshing our living spaces that we can bring in some new.

In what ways can you refresh and re-energize your life or your surroundings? Maybe it’s time to recalibrate a friendship that has brought you life in the past.  Maybe it’s time to pursue the career path you’ve always dreamed of. Or maybe it’s time to set a new boundary in your life.

I wish you all the joy as you claim newness and refresh your life. As Nayyirah Waheed says, “Let a new life happen to you.”

I love me. I don’t know about you, but baby I love me..

Tonight, we were singing this song before bedtime. Avery reminded me that I wasn’t singing it right. She showed me a thing or two.  Then she proceeded to say, “This is one of our family rules. If your gonna live in our house, you NEED to do this. It’s a requirement. This is a house of all good things. Nothing bad is allowed to live here.” YES, dear girl. We do loving ourselves here. And in turn, we do loving others. Yes. We do. ❤️
