“Feelings are just visitors. Let them come and go.” - Mooji

I really like this quote because it got me thinking. I believe our bodies are our temples. They house our souls and our energy.

When someone you don’t like comes to your house, you don’t offer them the guest room and hope that they stay. You deal with them for as little amount of time as possible before you can direct them out the door. You may feel stressed about the encounter for a while, but eventually the relief that that guest left takes over and you stop thinking about the visit altogether.

It should be the same with our feelings. Instead of inviting negative feelings to stay in your “house”, treat them like unwanted visitors and direct them out the door.

Don’t allow yourself to become so consumed by fear, worry, anger, hate... Consciously decide which feelings you want to invite inside and which ones can stay over.

I know it’s easier said than done, but positive thinking and a PVO lifestyle is a habit that must be built and practiced every second of the day. 🙌🏽

Good morning ☕️

Sending you all of the PVO (positive vibes only) I have so that you can CRUSH your day! 🙌🏽💪🏽

Sending out good energy is super FREE and it makes both the giver and the receiver feel good.

Have fun with it. Pretend you’re some magical fairy, sprinkling happy vibes on everyone you see today... don’t smile too creepily when you do it though. We’re not trying to scare people 😂

My happy place 🌲

Anyone else find comfort and clarity in nature?

If you’re ever having a hard time staying on track, or if you’re getting a headache from focusing on one task for too long, I highly recommend taking a walk in nature. You’ll most likely come back feeling refreshed and reenergized! 🍃

“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” - Eleanor Roosevelt

Believe in yourself and trust the process. You may fail a lot before you succeed, but if you truly believe in your idea, then so will everyone else.

As a writer, I use a laptop majority of the time. It’s fast, easy, and practical. It just makes sense.

With that said, there’s something so solidifying about handwriting an idea, planning out an article, or plotting a chapter on paper.

I also start every morning by handwriting in my journal and by prioritizing my day in my notebook. I wish I could do this on an app in my phone, but it just doesn’t give me the same therapeutic or accomplished feelings!

Do you still use paper notebooks and schedules or are you an all-technology kind of person?? 🤗📚

“Speak what you seek until you see what you say.

“Speak what you seek until you see what you say.”

I’m not sure where I first heard this, but I have lived my life by these words for years.

As long as you can imagine something happening, then that means there’s a possibility that it can exist in your reality.

Be conscious of your thoughts. Don’t waste time attracting what you don’t want when you can imagine, focus on, and manifest the life you do want. ✨

Let’s chat emotional support animals.

More frequently, we’re seeing small dogs and cats on the laps of individuals on planes, in restaurants, and out and about in the community.

Personally, I love this. As we enter an era where mental health is prioritized, it only makes sense for emotional support animals to become more of a “thing”.

An emotional support animal is not a service dog; however, you do require paperwork from a registered therapist who you see frequently in order to label your pet an emotional support. They do not require a special vest or other indication that they are working a job.

The job of these pets is to provide some sort of therapeutic benefit to their owner through companionship. The animal provides emotional support to individuals who have suffered trauma, have anxiety, as well as other mental and psychological impairments.

Hope you enjoy this excerpt from my latest short story:

Elli watched as the leaf landed on top of a little black book. Eli looked around to try and catch the attention of the fancy woman as the book she left behind seemed important. She picked up the notebook and admired its smooth and hard cover. It reminded her of the one her sister used to have before she passed away. Her sister was full of light and was inspired by the smallest of instances. She would constantly illustrate her experiences through the delicate use of words inside of her sacred notebook.

Elli removed the elastic enclosure to see if the woman’s name was written inside. Maybe Elli could return the little black book as she knew how valuable such an item could be to an individual. She flipped through the first couple of pages and found that the section which read “In Case of Loss” was left unscathed. Feeling as though she was betraying someone’s privacy, she reluctantly skimmed through the journal. The entire book seemed empty except for one excerpt that was almost lost in the middle of its blank pages.

“Speak what you seek until you see what you say.” Was neatly handwritten along the 11th line of the 11th page.”

Random question... but does anyone else narrate their lives in their head as they do simple tasks??

“... as Camille prepared to wash the dishes, she felt the cool stream of water slowly warm against her hands as it reached the perfect temperature. With far too much soap on her sponge, she rid her mug of the ring of evidence linking her to the last cup of coffee. Camille hated refilling the pot, and no one ever knew that she was the culprit.”

😂😂😂 .... tell me I’m not the only one!

What are your thoughts on tattoos?

I was raised to believe that my body is a temple. This means that I should treat it with respect, love it, and decorate it with intention and meaning.

Tattoos are not for everyone, but they are for me. Each of my six designs represents a memory or experience that I never want to forget. A moment in time where I felt something out of the ordinary, something worth remembering... good or bad.

As I saturate parts of my body with details in ink, I thank the universe for giving me these brief moments in time. The pain reminds me to be grateful that I can live my life the way I want to, because nothing good ever comes without a little hurt.

My tattoos make me feel free, and unique, and beautiful, and if you have tattoos, I’m sure you feel the same way. Embrace yourself. Love yourself. Be brave enough to be exactly who you are.

If you don’t agree, that’s fine too, but be kind and accepting to one another. Just because someone has a full body of ink, doesn’t mean they are less worthy of respect. Just because someone has a flower or a bird forever imprinted on their body, doesn’t mean they are less qualified as an individual or as a human being.

Artistic expression looks different for everyone, and the most beautiful people are the ones who love and value themselves enough to accept others just the way they are. ❤️✍🏻

This year has been different, to say the least. Creating new routines and managing day-to-day life during this pandemic has been hard mentally and physically. With that said, the last thing anyone needs is problematic skin!

If you’re struggling with your skin this holiday season, check out the three serums I use to get my skin even-toned and glowing!

“Be careful of your moods and feelings for there

“Be careful of your moods and feelings for there is an unbroken connection between your feelings and your visible world.” - Neville Goddard 📖

Someone once told me that you can reread a book like The Power by Rhonda Byrne a million times and every time something new will stand out.

Books like these have so many messages and lessons that come to you only when you need to hear them. 📖

I came across this quote while rereading The Power for probably the 10th time, and it has never resonated with me the way it does right now. 📖

Take a look at your life and notice how you feel about any given situation. How you feel directly reflects what you receive.

Your feelings tell you exactly what you’re thinking. If you feel bad about money, relationships, or health, you will only receive bad. Shift your thoughts to the small positives in every situation. You’ll feel happier about it, which will lead to happier circumstances.

Reading is a wonderful way to escape reality, learn new skills, and gain insight into different perspectives.

With all of the extra time I’ve been gifted with this pandemic, I decided to reread my three favourite motivational books about the power of positive thought, the law of attraction, and how to manifest the things I want.

In order to get into the zone, I pulled an armchair into my den, threw down a rug, and brought in a little side table, creating myself a cute little reading nook. Here, I can remain undisturbed while I read, snuggled up in my blanket with a hot drink… or glass of wine.

Confession: I also downloaded the audio books so I can listen while I do other things 🤷🏻‍♀️

Check out the blog for the list of the three books that changed my life.

If you’re feeling like you have so many thoughts

If you’re feeling like you have so many thoughts going on in your head and so many ideas of things you want to do and projects you want to start, take a minute to write them down. 🖊

Create a to-do list and prioritize what you can do right now. ✏️ .

Write some realistic goals down and update them frequently! 🖊

When you transform your thoughts into words in a notebook, you start to bring them to life. You also start to declutter your mind. A messy mind equals a messy life.
