Lyssa's inspirational thoughts for the day!

  New post:  👇🏻😏 Maybe because it’s the end of the year, but I started reflecting on this last year. 2020, what a doozy  😂  I’ve been through so much, struggled more than I ever have, and learned a few lessons on the way. Haven’t we all?  👏🏻 I’ve never been so grateful for the start of a new year before! I’ve always taken it for granted and have never given it much thought. I can always look back on my year and reminisce about what I’ve been through, what I’ve accomplished, and how I’ve become better.. but looking back at 2020.. it’s been a blur. My vision has been out of focus a lot this year. Sometimes I’ve adjusted it, other times, not so much. I have felt like the blind leading the blind. I can’t say that I’ve become better or stronger this year. But I’ve realized that that’s OK! The beautiful thing about this life is that every day we have the chance to try harder and do better. So that’s what I’m going to do as I step into 2021. Simply TRY each day. Who’s with me?! 2021 is

Wow. Today I am 28 years old! 🥳😂 I kind of feel like Bilbo Baggins from The Lord of the Rings when he says at his birthday party, “today is my 111th birthday!” Haha just kidding, not that old. 😜 In the “hobbit” there is a scene where you see Bilbo, sitting down and writing in his journal, about his unexpected journey that he has had throughout his life. He writes about the adventures he has been on, (which he calls  “Nasty disturbing uncomfortable things [adventures]!”- anyone feel like that sometimes? 🙋🏻‍♀️😂) the friends he has made, and the trials and adversity he has faced along the way. All because of the choice he made to leave his quiet, safe, and comfortable life in the shire behind to go out, on an adventure! As I reflect and type this, I feel like that too! That this is my unexpected journey thus far 😁 Where has the time gone? I had a plan for my life. I was going to graduate high school, find my spouse at college, and be a mom. Forget about graduating college… that was

 New post!! 💕❄️ There are so many moments of life that are wasted on trying to be someone else. Wanting someone else’s life, their job, their body, having a bf/gf as opposed to be single, wanting their looks, their hair, their WHATEVER.. and the list keeps going on! 🙄 Why aren’t we ever happy with just us? With who we are? With how our life is going? With the job we have? With our body types? With our personality? Etc. Why do we get so stuck in this trap? The trap of wanting to be someone else, instead of ourselves? This topic has been something that is always on my mind. And I feel myself always getting caught in that trap. Anyone else? But this morning I woke up with a different perspective! Just love the life you are living! No matter what you have or don’t have! Everything will be ok! Everything will work out the way it’s supposed to. Just breathe. 😌 You’re AMAZING, special, unique, and the ONLY one of you on this whole earth! Love yourself 💕 Love others. Be kind. Do something
