Glitter and Grace on the Go

Feeling the abundance literally layered up on my life lately. In an uncharacteristically cold season of not wanting to be in my freezing cold home (seriously plz hurry summer), I’ve been offered friend’s guest rooms to stay in, had a warm condo to retreat to in the desert with my fam, and was given a dog sitting gig where I got to hang and work from a beautiful (warmer) home for several hours a day. Lack always amplifies gratitude in my life so much and so each of these things feel like the most luxurious gifts to me. So when my sweet friend Lana not only invited me over to stay but told me to sleep in her gorgeous master bedroom (so she could sleep closer to her babe) and this was my view from the coziest, warmest bed, I’m pretty sure my heart almost over-flooded with all the sparkliest feels. Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏🏼✨ #abundance
Some years Valentine’s Day looks like tulle skirts and glitter tops and handmade Valentine’s for all my friends, and other years it looks like letting go of all the “should’s” (even the self-made ones) of your favorite holiday and allowing a night to yourself and a vague nod to V Day colors with your outfit be enough. Since today is (especially) about love, my thoughts on love at this moment are that I’ve never felt more connected to and aware of the bigger source of Love that is surrounding me at all times, allowing me to feel so anchored and so ok exactly as I am. And I’m also more in love with the life I’m building for myself than ever before. Some days I’m excited for a partner to share this all with (and that’s ok), but right now it feels so good to be completely in love with the journey I’m on all by myself - in my mind, in my heart, in the work I’m doing - and to revel in the really sweet and magical relationship that only I can have with myself. Still my favorite holiday and still celebrating every form of love I see expressed today, just enjoying a quieter appreciation of what love looks like for me on this February 14th, 2019. Happy Valentine’s Day friends. Sending big, and magical, love your way 💘✨
Most definitely my new vibe moving forward ⚡️💜⭐️
I can’t believe I get to be your Aunt, sweet Sawyer. What a fun and beautiful life we have ahead of us 💗
"This is good because..." ✨ I learned this phrase while listening to "You Are a Badass" as a way to re-direct any bad experience that gets thrown your way. The idea being that anytime something frustrating or inconvenient happens to you, try to immediately practice saying "this is good because..." and then come up with a way that the instance can be turned into good somehow. This re-trains your brain to look for the good in everything, and creates positive experiences out of "bad" ones. Finding out I wouldn't be meeting my nephew last night (our plane couldn’t land and was re-directed to Portland) after already having to wait a week for my sickness to subside was rough 😔, but I can't imagine a better "this is good because..." situation than getting a bonus sleepover with my @kelsmcox. So happy to be standing next to you lover ❤️ Now get me to that baby.
Lately I’ve become very aware of the belief I’m carrying that in order to feel “ok” with my day, I need to be able to point to something that I accomplished or that goes along with my made up narrative of what success looks like. Even through a lens of what I think is grace, on days where I begin feeling guilty about what I haven’t done, I’ll find myself saying something like, If all you did today was unload the dishwasher or check that one item off your list, that’s something! My life has had an interesting rhythm during the last 9 months since I left my job. And in the world’s eyes, I maybe haven’t accomplished much. This has been an incredible season of growth and rest and play and slowly building things yes, but some days I don’t have a lot to point to as far as what I’ve “done.” And I feel the weight of having to prove myself, even if only to myself. Today’s been another slow, restful day for me, and in a moment of feeling the guilt, I was reminded of the truth that no amount of doing or accomplishing made me any more worthy of love or of my space on this earth. If I stayed in bed from sun up to sun down, I am still ok and loved just as I am. Hard stop. And I felt the need to remind others of that too. For those who are in a slow season of life, or are in a season of building, or whose bodies are making simple tasks difficult, you are ok and loved and good enough exactly as you are. My hope is that you’ll know that fully and feel that deeply in every cell of your being. xo
Tonight was the definition of bittersweet. Before heading to dinner with my brother and 9 month pregnant sister-in-law, I realized that this would be the last hang just the 3 of us, minus the addition of a new babe in the picture. This threesome has been such a sacred relationship for me for the past 7+ years. Trips to the desert, late night jacuzzi talks, post-graduation beach hangs, nights out at dive bars. So many good memories just us 3. I’ve always treasured the bond the 3 of us have together and in the last 9 months I haven’t once thought about the fact that that would be changing, until today. The next time I’m here my little brother will be a Dad. My presh sister will be a Mama. And I’ll be an aunt to my new favorite little buddy. There aren’t enough words to prepare me for how wonderful this next chapter will be in our family’s life, but tonight I’m feeling the ache of turning that page. I love you two so much. I love what we have. And I’m so excited for what’s to come. Cheers to our chapter as the 3 Musketeers 🍻 I can’t wait for the 4th lil one to join ❤️
