Just realized there are a lotta Nola workdays in my near future and I’m not mad at it. ✨
I hope to write a lengthier blog post on this soon, but something I’ve been actively practicing lately is partaking in daily activities that get me in alignment with my long and short-term goals. What do I mean by this, exactly?🤷🏼‍♀️ I mean doing things for ME. Things that fill my soul with joy and contribute to building character in this one pretty little life. These are things that reduce stress, and instead, help me feel better connected to myself. 〰️ For me, this may look like: ➖Not stressing about not making it to the gym if it doesn’t fit in my schedule. ➖Doing one thing a day for no one but myself (i.e.. reading a chapter of an inspiring book, a workout, listening to a podcast, etc) ➖Politely declining social invites when my schedule is already packed. ➖Scheduling a random massage break in the middle of a workday. ➖Taking a few minutes in between work and whatever evening plans follow to breathe, reset, and just slow down. 〰️ Navigating life can be tricky at times, and I’d be lying if I said I’ve adjusted easily to all of the changes that have taken place over the past months, but practicing this has helped me to make decisions, big and small, that are best for my heart and my goals. What do you do for YOU? I’d love to hear new ideas for unwinding + self-love. ✨ 📷 cred: @laurencarrollphotography
Observing, soaking in, and documenting so many vastly different birth experiences lately truly has me seeing the world in a slightly different light. It’s been such a beautiful example of how there is no one right way to do life, or parent, or be in love, the list goes on... 〰️ I’ve had mamas with medicated births, natural births, and births that didn’t go according to the plan they’d hoped for. But you know what every single one had in common? They got through it. With strength and love and support, they experienced their birth journeys in a way that was best for them, their families, and their own bodies. And that is most beautiful. ❤️
“Pinterest is awesome,  and decorating your nursery in perfectly coordinating colors is half the fun of having a child.  Looking at Instagram?  Heck, I still look at all those pregnant Instagrammers for adorable bump-appropriate wardrobe tips, and I’m not even pregnant!  It makes sense to look outside ourselves when we’re unsure about something new, and we are rarely as uncertain as we are during a new motherhood.  But let me tell you this--because I didn’t understand it until years later… [...] You and your baby were meant to be a pair.  That doesn’t mean you’re going to be a perfect fit.  That doesn’t mean you won’t make mistakes.  It does mean that you need not fear failure because you can’t fail a job you were created to do.” . . . - Girl, Wash Your Face // @msrachelhollis . . . . . YOU, and no one else in the history of ever, were supposed to bring that human into the world.  That human that has a life of infinite possibility. THAT IS YOUR POWER. . . . . . Not trying to purposefully get all girl-power over here, but witnessing so many beautiful births lately has me truly reflecting on the GIFT it is to be a woman. Whether it be that we are called to be mamas or called to love in other ways, there is a delicate nature in which us ladies are wired to be nurturers and I find it enrapturing.
“When it comes to your dreams, no is not an answer. The word no is not a reason to stop. Instead, think of it as a detour or a yield sign. No means merge with caution. No reminds you to slow down—to re-evaluate where you are and judge how the new position you’re in can better prepare you for your destination.” . . . Spending this Sunday morning in a welcomed, slow way. Coffee, biscuits, and soaking in @msrachelhollis beautifully strewn together motivational words in #girlwashyourface ✨
Easy like Sunday mornin’...
"We lose. We fight for things. We lose the fight for things. We fail. We forget birthdays (strangely way more than we used to before Facebook) and we forget the names of people we really should have remembered. We get lost. Sometimes we don't show up at all. We make mistakes. We hurt people who mean more than the world to us. And we get hurt. We get rejected and talked about behind our backs. Many of us have been the people others point to and laugh at. We fail tests. We oversleep. We break promises. We break hearts. We keep people for too long, long after they've served a real purpose in our lives. We let go, even when we know we only want to hold on a bit longer. We doubt ourselves. We celebrate. We drink too much. We laugh too little. We fall hard. For boys with sullen blue eyes and girls with rips in their tights. We are cheated on. We cheat. We get left standing in the middle of doorways, and train stations, and restaurants before the appetizers have even come out. We do elaborate and crazy things for people who make our hearts feel like they're coming up through our throats. We are lovers. And we are hopeful. We are the life of the party and we aren't, all at the same time. We are surrounded by people and we are more alone than we have ever felt. We get older--and we sometimes think that's terrifying and we sometimes think it's beautiful." - Hannah Brencher, If You Find This Letter // @hannahbrencher
