S-E-T-T-L-E...


 

    What do you do when you’re feeling alone and unheard?

 

    Lately, I feel completely unseen and unheard in all of my personal relationships. The people in my life don’t seem to understand me. 

 

    I don’t know. I work from home so I spend 90% of my time alone. And when there are people here, they’ve got their heads up technologies ass or they’re sleeping. 

 

    I feel like I am there for EVERYONE except myself. 

 

    I am a sounding board, I am a sister, a daughter, a friend, an aunt, a granddaughter, I am EVERYTHING to everyone except for fair to myself. 

 

    I told myself at the beginning of the year that I was going to start living for myself and that’s exactly what I intend on doing. It’s a work in progress I guess because I just realized that I was doing the complete opposite of all of that. 

 

    It’s a shame that more people can’t see me for who I am. I guess the real shame is, even though I spend every waking moment trying to show people who I am, it’s clearly not working. 

 

    Where have I gone wrong? What am I doing wrong?! 

 

    Instead of asking those questions I should be asking these:

 

  • WHO am I allowing into my life?!
  • WHY am I allowing them into my life?!
  • WHAT am I doing allowing these people to suck all of the joy out of me?!

    Things are going to start changing for me, again! Because things are forever changing, right?!

 

    You have to adjust your focus based on what’s important to you and I’M important to me! So here’s to allowing myself the grace and dignity that I DESERVE! 

 


    Pro tip: Don’t settle for less than what you KNOW you deserve. 

 


XOXO

Cookie Era!

Image
  Listen, I’m in my cookie era! Here’s what I did! I made a double batch, scooped them and placed them on parchment paper to keep them separated. Placed them in freezer bags and then froze the second batch. That way I have chemical free cookies ready to take out of the freezer whenever I want and bake fresh! This way I can bake 2 if I want instead of making up a whole batch.

My Manic...

Image
     I have been stressing myself out lately about perfection. I can’t share anything I do unless I know it’s perfect. It’s probably going to give me an ulcer.       I decided today that I didn’t need perfection.      It’s not about that. I mean I’ve always known that but I am so unbelievably hard on myself that I allowed those feelings to creep in and attack my inner peace!        I haven’t felt that manic in about a year! So it was definitely something that I had to take care of right away! I almost forgot that my manic was an emotional response to stress.          I was being unappreciative of my own strengths, too hard on my personal weaknesses and turning a blind eye to my mental state.       I called it quits yesterday and decided to do absolutely nothing all day to let my brain rest and recover from my own abuse. Until inspiration hit and I decided to DOODLE.  ...

Ditch Kitty!

Image
  It’s been awhile since I’ve had an update on my little rescued ditch kitty! Sirius is thriving! he came to me at 1.5 pounds soaking wet and he’s up to 7.5 pounds now! Which is perfectly in line for his age! He’s all up to date on his vaccinations and he doesn’t have to go back for another year! (Unless he needs to!) His personality can only be described as wildly unpredictable and entertaining! His favorite things are wet food, cucumbers and pull tabs from my almond milk and playing nonstop!
