Need a Break?

Image
   Sometimes we all need a break but sometimes it is hard to find where that break can be found? Am I right? Working full time, finishing up classes, and still trying to find time for my son and myself lies the question -  When and what do we eat?     As I discussed in a previous post, my partner and I have been ordering Hello Fresh every week and have been loving it! But the meal sizes are just the perfect amount for him and I and the family size is a little expensive and a little too much food for the two of us and our little guy.    Obviously I want my son to eat well and have a well balanced meal too so I started doing some research and found Yumble. It is a meal delivery services just for kids. You can chose from :      6 MEALS PER WEEK Dinners, lunches and/or snacks for 1 kid! $7.99  /meal 12 MEALS PER WEEK Dinners, lunches and/or snacks for 1-2 kids! $7.49  /meal 24 MEALS PER WEEK Dinners, lunches and/or snacks for 2-3 kids! $6.99  /meal

Day 30

30 Days of Growth, Aspiration, and Change Everyday, whether we know it or not we change or grow in some way. It all goes back to "you learn something new everyday." I truly believe that and I truly believe that when you learn something new in life you learn something new about yourself. Throughout this 30 day self love challenge I have learned so much about myself and about others. Not only have I learned, but I have seen a huge change in myself and in my relationships with others; completely positive and uplifting of course. I hope that if you have read any of these posts or even one you have been able to see somewhat of a change in your life.  I will leave these posts up for at any point we all want to reflect and do this challenge again! I think that anyone, including myself, can benefit so much from self love in so many ways. So for today's challenge I want you to go back to the first self love challenge that you read here; that could be Day 1, or it c

Day 29

Where is your favorite place ?  My favorite place of all time is this desolate, unknown, magnificent spot I call "The Windmills." It is a place in the middle of no where that has hundred and hundreds of windmills everywhere.  Before I had my son I would go to this beautiful spot at least  three times a week. I would drive up and hula hoop, relax, read, think- you name it. My friends would all want me to bring them up there, but other times I just went alone; it was my place to go to get away. Sometimes you need those places to escape from reality and this spot was perfect for just that. Some spots up there you won't see a person for miles, maybe a cow or two, but no people in sight and no cell service.  That could become dangerous - but I couldn't get enough. Since my son has been born I have only been up twice. Even saying that shatters my heart because this place was home to me. For years and years I would go there when I was so happy, heart broken

Day 28

Let your soul shine bright and your mind wander. Let your inagination burst today! Sometimes we dream of all of these beautiful aspirations but then shut it out because we think it is completely ridiculous. Well, I am here to remind you it's not. Your dreams, goals, and wants are not ridiculous; they are there and they are capable of being reached.  We have already touched on the law of attraction and manifesting so we won't go there. But what I will suggest is instead of dreaming it, let's take it a little further tonight.  One thing that I think could be on everyone's list of a possibly unreachable goal is a dream vacation. We think that going to Greece for a week, backpacking Europe, or exploring the Netherlands is completely out of reach to us. Maybe if we are trying to go tomorrow, for some of us it could be. But tonight I want you to go ahead and plan your trip. Obviously don't book it if it is something you cannot do; but plan it as if you were going. Look up

Day 27

MANIFESTING YOUR LIFE!  In order to change your life you need to take control of your life. If you aren't happy or peticularly comfortable in one aspect of your life then it is time to make a change.   For today's challenge I want you to write down 3 goals you have for a 5 year plan. They can be as unrealistic as you want them to be; because if you manifest it, strive for it, you can conquer it.  Here are some tips and tricks on how to manifest your dreams.  If you want it bad enough- it will happen. Speak out loud as if you already have these goals. Write in your journal daily about ways you can get to this goal and how badly you want it; the universe is listening to you. The universe is NOT listening to you complain on your couch about how unlucky you are. YOU are the only person who can get you out of where you are now!  Get up and make it happen! But first, organize what it is you want to do, what it is you are striving for.

Day 26 

Image
Our world is becoming a scary place. The last few days have shown events of hatred and pure evil. We are human beings and should not judge others on the color of their skin, where they live, but only on their character. But I'm not here to talk about that; we all should know what is right and what is wrong.  As a white woman, I am privileged; I am fortunate enough to never experience this animosity and discrimination daily but I am here to be an ally and I am here to support. I will use the only thing I have to do so; my voice. To sit here in silence is to sit here and act as if nothing is happening and none of this matters because it isn't effecting YOU. But that isn't true. This is our country, these are our people, and our neighbors.  Today I think that we should turn to our neighbors and show love, support, and kindness. Donate $1-10 of your choice to a charity in need of supporting Charlottesville, or anything you think you can do to show your support is something. Sil

Day 25

We have come so far on this journey of self love! I hope that if you have read one or all these posts you have felt some what of a change in how you view yourself.  Today we are focusing on learning something new. It is a glorious Sunday morning which indicates to me, anything is possible. So today decide what it is that you want to learn! It could be something simple, or something a little more challenging that today might be the start of your learning adventure.  Some examples could be learning a new way to cook, a new exercise, painting, learning another language; the options are endless! Something you don't know how to do today is something you can learn how to do.  I found an awesome 8 step tutorial on Pinterest on watercolor painting! It looks so fun and it's something I have never tried before. I also have always wanted to learn how to do that beautiful handwriting people can do?! It's just stunning the way people can write and create beautiful pieces just by simply
