The LittleThings

The past week, I've come to realize something that I think we all notice but maybe brush off again and again due to busy schedules and life in general. How often do we pay attention to the little moments in life? And I don't just mean the ones we all call significant like your kids first steps or words or the first date etc. I mean in our every day lives , the little moments and the little blessings. I feel like when we look around we have so much to be thankful for, so many little blessings that we may not usually count as "blessings". How often do we actually take the time to look at the stars on a clear night? Or go enjoy the park or nature reserve near by? How about just playing with your pets? Or spending time with a friend, girlfriend/boyfriend or loved one? So many little moments that either go by without us realizing or moments that we neglect to actually put in the effort to enjoy. How many parents actually make date night a priority with their spouse? Yes life's busy and your family comes first but you cant let that erode the relationship you are continually trying to build with your husband or wife. These things that seem like such little deals right now are what make the biggest most beautiful memories down the road. Hey guys out there how long has it been since you surprised your girl with a cute post on insta or your social media account? Not gonna lie when I say girls like to be shown off haha. Ladies how long since you have planned a day to put aside all the drama we constantly have and really focus on that relationship your building? And aside from relationships how long has it been since the guys and girls out there have planned a day just for your guys or in the girls case, how about your "squad." I feel like relationships are something in our lives that thanks to being busy we often neglect without even realizing it. What I wonder though, if you don't have relationships than what kind of life are you living? Having no one to share the happy moments, and life's little blessing with, doesn't sound like a very full life to me. The point is that no matter your schedule don't forget to enjoy the little things right around you and make sure the loved ones in your life know that you care because we aren't promised tomorrow, we only have right now. The time we are given right now is called the present because this time, its a gift and how we use it is up to us. If we don't make it known to our loved ones that we love them then we may never get the chance ,they cant read minds nor should they have to. So take your present and make it into the gift that it was meant to be. I encourage you to take some time, look at the stars and maybe even invite someone special to take in the blessing with you. <3

Phoenix

 I feel there is something not talked about enough, everyone knows the feeling of failure. We all make mistakes, comes with being human, we all cope with that. How though do we cope when unplanned mistakes take place, I know your wondering what on earth I mean by this, most mistakes are unplanned… I am referring to the mistakes, the trials that occur even when the “rules” are followed, those that incur even when perhaps we have done everything right that is within in our power. This takes a different type of coping, paired with an even greater understanding and matched with yet a greater perspective. In order to cope and heal from these unplanned mistakes we need to evaluate what was within our control and what was genuinely not. Often times when things go wrong we immediately blame and criticize ourselves because let’s be real, that is much easier than accepting the unknown and accepting the true lack of control we had over the situation. It is facing this fact though that allows for

Defining Life Through Choices

 Life is a crazy thing, what's crazier is how we each define the course we take through it. Often times we categorize our lives by the bigger more obvious choices, for instance taking a job, going back to school, getting married, having children etc. If we created a road map of our lives on paper it would likely consist of big landmark choices. Is it truly those big choices however that sum up our lives? Is it really those land mark sized choices that got us where we are today and propel us further into the future? I'd like to argue that they are not. Every day, every moment we are faced with choices, big and small choices. Perhaps the most seemingly miniscule choices are in fact the most monumental. When you start your day, what thoughts do you allow into your head? How do you nurture your mind, body and soul when you rise and when you begin to settle down for the day? How do you choose to interact with those around you, how do you speak to them? How do you speak to yourself,

Write Your Story

 It’s been over a year since I have last written and I can honestly say it has been quite the year. Writing is an outlet unlike any other, it creates doors to inspire, uplift and change. Perhaps the lives of others may change by the words you place on paper, however I believe the real change happens in the heart of the author. Whether it be fiction or nonfiction or a mix of both, putting the words on paper in a way that betters those around us and potentially those we will never meet aside from words meeting eyes, that changes you. It allows healing, growth, and a change of perspective on life. If there is one thing I have taken from the last year, it is that we are all the author of our own stories, we all have tales dying to be told inside of us, fighting to be born into paper. There is nothing in life that a change in perspective and a plan cannot conquer, we are only as limited as the limits we put on ourselves. Change stands directly in front of all of us, the question is not if i
