My blog-iversary! 🥳



Wow. 3 years! Can you believe it? It’s been 3 years today (the 17th) that I first started writing my blog. It was a rainy afternoon in July and I sat down at the computer and wrote my first post. I had been thinking about a blog for many months before, and I kept putting it off. I thought to myself “who would want to hear my thoughts? I’m just me.” Little did I know how thankful I would feel 3 years later. I am so GRATEFUL that I listened to that prompting and started my blog. 

It has blessed my life in so many ways. It’s almost like an electronic journal of my life. Every hardship, heartbreak, moment of gratitude, and major life event that has happened over the course of 3 years, I’ve been able to share it, with all of you! 

I’ve been able to look back over these last 3 years and see what I’ve gone through, what I learned, and how my testimony and confidence has increased. I am truly GRATEFUL and BLESSED to be able to share my thoughts, testimony, and feelings with all of you. I post all my blog posts on my social media. Every time you comment and share your thoughts and like my post, it means the world to me! 

My blog benefits me. I’ve been able to reread it over and over again all the thoughts that just flowed from my heart and mind. There have been so many times, that the words just came to me, all I had to do was write them down. Being able to benefit and inspire others with my experiences have truly been wonderful. So, thank you! 

I look forward to the next 3 years and where my adventures take me! ♥️👏🏻💗☀️🙏🏻 

Much love!

My body: ❤️

  New post: My body: Warning ⚠️ vulnerable post ahead!  I’ve always been more on the plus size side and have really tried hard to work on myself to become more confident with my body. I’ve tried to feel comfortable in my own skin and to love and accept my body in every stage, because EVERY stage is beautiful! But I’m not perfect at it and some days are hard. I’ve recently gained some weight that has come with the stresses of life (uggg it’s the worst) life changes, etc. and have found myself absolutely CONSUMED with my body and how “awful” I think I look. 😓 I’m the girl in a room thinking of my weight and if I’m the heaviest. Constantly comparing my body to everyone else’s. I always thought that I had to have this “perfect” body to feel accepted and that if I didn’t fit this standard of beauty that I would have no value.  I find myself comparing my body to everyBODY that comes along. I remember for almost every birthday growing up, secretly wishing to be “skinny” and thinking that if

God is love ❤️

 I recently attended the funeral services of Cason’s uncle that unexpectedly passed away. Even though I didn’t know him super well, he was such a kind man! Tears fell as the talks, memories, and testimonies of his family, grandchildren, and friends were shared. I walked away feeling so uplifted ❤️🙏🏻 it was such a spiritual funeral. I think that’s the point, when loved ones pass, is to get you to reflect on your own life and the people around you. I felt so much love that day-So much care and concern that God is aware, He is in control, and He knows what we are all going through! I know God has a plan for each of His beloved children. I know He loves each and every single one of YOU! Yes, YOU. I know that not a tear falls that He doesn’t know about or of a hurtful thought that was said to you. He celebrates the good times and is there for us in the bitter times. He finds joy in the things that make us laugh and in the people we help along the way. He truly is our biggest fan and cheer

LIVE ☀️

  New post: I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting recently and realized that it’s been a while since I’ve felt inspired to write a new post.  Hardships and loss, like most thought provoking experiences we are all going to get to go through, bring lots of reflection. Loss of a loved one, compassion for those experiencing the loss, and the sorrow and grief that come along, that you don’t quite understand and realize, until you go through it yourself.  Death and change, ironically, make you think and reflect on your own life. The impact you make, the example you set, the kindness you show, the love you give freely, and the acts of service you show to others.  It (hopefully) makes you want you try harder. To be a little better. To love more. To give more. To serve more. To LIVE more. To not let the opportunities pass you by. To spend more time with the ones you love. To do the things you’ve dreamed of doing. To not sweat the small stuff and to actually LIVE. ☀️ So here’s to the new version o
