You are loved 💗

 New post! ❤️

For most of us, February 14th is pretty well known around the world, dating back to the 14th and 15th century. When people think of Valentine’s Day there can be a lot of meaning and feelings that are associated with this day- whether positive or negative, good or bad, sad or happy. 

The deeper I dug, I found that Vday isn’t just about romantic love, it’s about reflecting on ALL the love that you have in your life, giving love to others, and connecting with God. ❤️

Being single for what felt like forever, valentines was something that I never celebrated because I tended to focus more on the romantic side, when really I should have focused more on all of the amazing people and other kinds of love that I had in my life. Not just what I was “lacking”.

Whatever your thoughts and feelings of this day are now.. whether you have a “romantic” valentine or not, try to focus on the many people in your life that love and care about you! Focus on the fact that: 💗

God loves you

He is aware of you

He has a plan for you! 

There are people in this life that love and care for you!

There is so much MORE to this life than we sometimes remember. We forget of all the good things we have and we focus on what we don’t- (a relationship, children, a dream job, marriage, romantic love, etc) I have really tried to focus on serving others, working on developing my relationship with the Divine, and realizing all the love around me  💗 Doing that, my mindset shifted and has made Valentine’s one of my most favorite days! 

I don’t know if any of these thoughts and feelings make sense, but always remember that it’s not about what your relationship status is, it’s about remembering how much YOU are loved. You are loved so much by so many people. 💗 There is meaning and purpose to your life. There is a reason you are here! Keep your chin up, and oh, happy Valentine’s Day Darling! 💘💌

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
