Peace be still 🙏🏻🧘‍♀️

 New Post! 

I went back and forth debating on if I should share this experience, but ultimately decided that since it helped me so much, maybe it could help someone else too that needed it.🤍

Cason and I had sat down after doing some cleaning and chores around the house yesterday, and we listened to a calming meditation. 🧘 During the deep breathing and relaxation exercises, while listening to the sounds of ocean waves, I had become so relaxed that I started to cry. Tears welled up and began to fall down my cheek. 🥲 I was picturing a happy place- in seaside Oregon, watching the sunset on the beach with Cason, and listening to the waves 🌊 crashing down. We visited there with my family last year while we were dating and it was beautiful! I felt carefree, loved, relaxed, and completely stress free. 

While my eyes were still closed, who I was with  changed to me walking along that same beach with my Savior Jesus Christ and my Father in Heaven. 🤍 As we were walking, I started asking them questions and pouring out my worries and stresses to them. I remember feeling SO calm, SO loved, and completely at peace. I felt reassured that WHAT I was worrying about and WHO I was worrying about would all be okay. That those hard challenges I was going through, were to teach me that to all things there is an opposite-the sweet and the bitter, the light and the dark, the good and the evil. That we have to all pass through trials and we each need to cleave unto our loving Savior Jesus Christ and our Beloved Father in Heaven for help. 🙏🏻

“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. “Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. “For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light” (Matthew 11:28–30).

President Nelson said: “You come unto Christ to be yoked with Him and with His power, so that you’re not pulling life’s load alone. You’re pulling life’s load yoked with the Savior and Redeemer of the world, and suddenly your problems, no matter how serious they are, become lighter.”

I came out of my relaxed stage feeling SO much peace, SO much gratitude for this moment, and feeling SO loved. My Savior and my Heavenly Father really do care about me and those I love. They really do want the best for us, and we have to go through hard things and suffer so that we can become better. So that we can become MORE. No matter what we are individually going through, our Savior is right next to us, taking us by the hand and reassuring us that God has a plan, that we are so LOVED, and that ALL will be well. 

May you all find the peace you are looking for and remember that God is always there for you. He hears your prayers, knows your struggles, and always wants to help you. Happy Sunday friends ☀️🥰❤️🙏🏻

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
