A YEAR OF OCTOBERS

Inspiration

So, yesterday I was driving along, minding my business when all of a sudden I realized that it was October 1. Now, I know that fall officially began a couple of weeks ago but for some reason, in my mind, it's really not fall until I see change in the seasons. The trees begin to fade into beautiful hues of red and golden browns and yellows and the temps truly begin. Around here, that's usually right around October...

KEEPING A HEALTHY PERSPECTIVE

I'm not even sure how to start this one off.

So, I guess I will take it back to almost a year ago when I was spending some time with a friend...

It’s been a while but I felt this encapsulated so much of what my heart’s been feeling lately. This spoke to me so I was certain that it would likely speak to someone else’s. Thanks for the re-tweet @anniefdowns. Some encouraging truth for your night and day.
I would want NO ONE else as my baby daddy. 😝 Seriously tho, who’s gonna lobe me and these kids the way you do? Happy Father’s Day @larrysnotoninsta. ❤️ #fathersday #2018
G wanted to show you his backpack and I wanted to show you my...well, I’m not sure what I’m showin you. 😬😂
What I’ve got to say has almost nothing to do with this pic. Almost. You’ve probably noticed (or maybe you haven’t and that’s fine too) that I’ve not posted much here or on my stories for almost two weeks now. That doesn’t mean that I’ve not checked in on some of you here and there or that I completely took myself away from social media. I didn’t. It just means that I realized I needed to re-adjust some things and show my soul who is boss. (Spoiler: it’s not me) For a while I think I forgot where my value truly lies. I also happen to think that if a lot of us out there were honest with ourselves and those who look to folks like me for inspiration or laughs or the like, we’d begin to revolutionize the way we do community and effect the lives of each other around here. That, of course, is just my opinion. I’ve taken some time over these days to focus on me: exercise, diet, relationships, and I feel good. Much better but still not 100%. I’ve shared some of my health issues in the past with hopes of bringing authenticity and encouragement to others who may also share some of the same struggles of hormonal imbalances and challenges. I will continue to do that. I want be healthy and whole. (It’s His promise: Rom 6:22-23) I want to be present. Not just for my friends or even for some of you but mostly for my family. For myself. For my husband. For my kids (insert posted image). I don’t wanna miss a thing that God’s leading me to do or say. I don’t wanna miss a moment with this husband of mine and I don’t wanna miss one laugh or snuggle with these kids of ours. I’ve got a lot of fun and creative things I wanna do in the coming months. (Like finally getting the blog back up and running) A lot of them I’ll get to check off the list, some not cause...life. I can’t wait to ‘do’ a lot of those things with each of you. For those who have checked in on me, thanks. Super thankful for each of you. You’re the ones whose prayers and thoughts and dance videos keep ME encouraged and remind me of how God can and will use the unexpected to speak. Tonight on my stories, I will be recapping the past week and a half. It will be fun. If you know, you know. Join me. ❤️
