First day of classes. Breathing deeply is the only way I'm planning on moving forward. Oscar Wilde reminds me to keep it all in perspective. Love it. Xx.

What are you planning for your day?

Always Come Back to Your Truth || 1.12.15

||TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF||

Funny, I just copied the post format from two days before winter break. Amazing how time can fly as I sit on my bed/couch/office in my home away from home. Back to the daily grind of business, nutrition, and school and the overwhelming necessity of naps. A chilly day for the world has me burrowing under blankets, trying to stay warm and optimistic. I'm going to plan a few self care moments over the course of the next four months. Any suggestions?

Remember that you do truly remain when all else fails. Everything crumbling around you does not mean you must crumble as well. Stand tall and be the strength, light, and wisdom needed to carry forward. Maintain hope and balance. Above all else, honor yourself and come back to your truth, always sharing your continuous love and support. You can do this. I can do this. We can do this. Let the wild rumpus start!

How was your weekend? Anything exciting happen? What are you looking forward to this week?

|| Schoolward Bound in T-Minus 14 Hours ||

We're packing up all my goodies and valuables and heading back to my supposed home away from home. I've made my peace with Wake and hope the bond grows stronger every second I am on it's grounds. Sadness wrings my heart as I prepare to leave my mom and beloved animals, though I know they are never far from my heart. My heart is full for the future and every spontaneous moment I take this year. I'm excited for all this life has to offer.
