A Word Wednesday: Thankful For

Happy Thanksgiving Eve! I know that we are in uncertain times this holiday season, but we still have to find joy. I am so thankful for life & family this holiday season. Even though I won’t be able to celebrate Thanksgiving like normal, I still plan on being surrounded by the family I can and to eat good (lol). And even though this year has not been what I expected, I am thankful God wakes me up every day. 

What are you thankful for this Thanksgiving season? Comment below!

Self-Acceptance.

“I had to take ownership of redefining my sense of self so that I could discover my purpose. And that meant embracing time alone, a season of complete solitude. Transforming on my own wasn’t my first choice, but it’s grown to be my most treasured. Being alone showed me that I could shed, release & outgrow anything, including my old ways and bad habits, that didn’t serve me well.”

Rest.

We all need to step away and rest. Everything you need to do will still be around and you can still accomplish your goals. But our bodies can not function properly or at our best without rest. We can try to make our bodies function with no rest, but the outcome won’t always be the prettiest thing. I challenge you all to take comfort in knowing it’s okay to rest. It’s okay to take time for yourself, no matter how long that period may be. Sometimes you need to refill yourself so you won’t burn out and run completely dry. Know that you are not alone nor crazy for needing this time, it’s necessary. Take care of yourselves & love on yourself a little extra today.

A Word Wednesday: I Get Low, too

We all have highs & lows. It can be hard to remember that others have lows especially when things appear picture perfecr for them OR if we don’t always see the lows. But I think it’s important to remember that we are all HUMAN. We all deserve GRACE and we all deserve to acknowledge our low moments.

We don’t like to think about the negative, but we must acknowledge these moments and situations in order to move forward.

So I am taking some time to acknowledge my lows and everything else, because I need to. I am also going to remove myself from social media & focus on bettering my relationship with God and a plethora of other things.

A Word Wednesday will be continued in some form of fashion. & I am always a phone call, text or email away. Love you all.

And remember to love yourself because you deserve to be loved! 💋
