I posted something on Instagram this morning per my usual routine and it got me thinking on the subject. Some people think what I write about and post always has to do with my own life. This couldn't be further from the truth. I write based on what speaks to me in that moment. Sure, [...]
Everything can be lost. Appreciate your life. Appreciate your blessings. Appreciate what you have RIGHT now. Stop wishing your today's away for a better tomorrow. Make today the best it can be. Stay mindful of everyone and everything around you. Take it in. Breathe it in. Enjoy it. This day cannot be duplicated. This day [...]
Finding peace during a hectic, lopsided day is not always the easiest feat. Our instincts are to tighten up and close off when we're stressed, but as spiritual beings we should let go and relax in moments like this. Even though I know better now, my instincts sometimes take me back to what I was used [...]
Own your truth. What does that mean exactly, right? Own your attitude, own your style, own your personality, own your beliefs, your spirituality, your everything - own it! Own who you are! Don't falter when someone questions you. Don't hesitate or change your mind just for the sake of temporarily pleasing someone else. Don't become a chameleon [...]
I used to be a planner. I would try to plan everything. It wasn't until my spiritual adviser enforced in me time and time again that plans really don't ever work out because sh*t happens, life happens, it is what it is and it's out of your control. When my plans never panned out I [...]
No matter what, be proud of yourself! Be proud of who you are and how far you've come. You've gone through what you went through for a reason and you are here, right now for a reason. Be proud!

I've noticed my ego getting the best of me lately and I was overlooking the small things around me that I should really be appreciating. I [...]
None of us are perfect. There are a lot of us that strive for perfection and it's usually the ones that do, that fall time and time again because though we all realize no one can be perfect, there's something in a "perfectionist's" brain that makes them think they can still achieve it. Some people [...]
You are an individual. That means you are unique. You have gifts others don't have, you have thoughts and visions that others cannot fathom. Why do we waste our time (YES, waste) looking and examining other people's looks, intelligence, journey's, relationships, friendships, personalities, etc.? Why aren't we spending that time focusing on our own special [...]

I paid attention to all the different colors and patterns of each different leaf and how even though this is totally normal for [...]
