I wasn’t expecting to just disappear. I really wasn’t. I was thinking about the magnificence of falling back asleep, the delicious feeling of being lazy and hazy with no obligations or requirements — watching the day drift from morning light to afternoon shimmers to nighttime glow. It’s as if this stress that has been coursing through my veins hypercharged and accelerated my heart, my mind, and my soul until only an empty shadow remained, wondering the how, the why, and the what’s of it all.

|| A Day Off to Reflect ||

My hope is that his words are never lost and that they be considered the other 364 days of the year. I am grateful for all that I have and all that I hope to become in this world. I am grateful for support and encouragement. I am grateful for compassion and love and a heart that never quits. I choose goodness and light and peace.

Remember, act, & love. Have a great week! What are you grateful for?

Booyah! Three Day Weekend. || 1.17.15

|| Crazy, Hectic, & Unapologetic ||

Just a quick check-in and then off to the links we go! Honestly, I didn't think this week was going to be so rough. I thought I would breeze back to school and move swiftly into the perfect routine, balancing everything under the moon like a wizard. HA! So not true. My classes all caught me pretty off guard, so any grand intentions I had for this space were wiped clean as I tried to prioritize my life. Not to worry, I have some great ideas coming your way. I promise this time. I have some new editions to the recovery blog that I will be linking to, some great nutrition post ideas, and maybe getting more into some yoga. That being said, I am going to slow down and be mindful of everything I am doing -- I have to leave room for spontaneity! Please continue to read, and bare with me as I navigate this new semester and find my rhythm -- I promise it will be worth the wait. Xx.
