Day 26 

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. Silence is not. 


Speak up. Be involved. Be human.

Chose your company wisely. Surrounding yourself with people who bring you joy is important. It not only brings positivity to your life but it also brings balance. There are going to be days you aren't feeling so great and you need to have some people in your life that make things worth the while. So today, get together or just give someone a call you haven't seen in a while that brings you positive energy. It doesn't have to be someone you haven't talked to in years ( or it can be ) or it can be someone you just saw a few weeks ago. Get a little positivity life refresher from someone who matters.

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

Take A Break Happy Hump Day! It is the middle of the week, you have half of the work week behind you; keep on truckin!  But sometimes you need to just stop, take a break, and take a moment for yourself.
