Who doesn’t love bubbles?! I need to sit on my porch and blow bubbles just for fun.

I have lost many people the last few years.
I lost them due to divorce. Some because they are so anti divorce they had to leave me to protect their ideology. Others because they went with my ex.

Some over my political views of how I desire the world to be shaped by policy.

Other because they can’t be uncomfortable with how I’ve changed and grown.

I wish them all the best. They are still lovely humans and I was happy for the moments we had. It’s okay. I now have room for new friends.

I’m journaling this and yes, I meet incredible people.

This is so true!

Start with micro gratitudes. This can be fun and easy.

I felt stupid being grateful for coffee and air conditioning or hot showers at first but now they are precious.

This behavior changed me on a heart level.

It’s time to celebrate all of the beauty in your life 💗

Expect a miracle every day.

What’s a miracle? It is when we see a glimpse of heaven on earth. Be it a kindness from a stranger or a gift you don’t deserve. It is unconditional love in a moment.

The Nissan Versa, a solid basic. Funny enough its so shiny you can see my reflection in almost every picture!

I stood up for myself today.

I did it silently by removing myself.

In times past I tried to explain, to reason, seeking to be heard. My heart was misunderstood and it hurt.

They were so annoyed I didn’t fight back they have followed me calling me names.

I journaled what I wanted to say. What I know they won’t hear.

“You need help.”

I then picked up my book and enjoyed my afternoon. Instead of worrying it in my mond or anything.

This was huge for me. I grew up thinking I had to control what others thought of me. While controling the narrative matters, I do not and will not control others.

Shopping and scoring new things isn’t going to build your happiness.

Calling a friend and taking the time to really hear them. To really know another person, so see and be seen, that’s a building block of happiness.
