Taking Care Of Yourself




Hey All - I know that I haven't posted on here in some time but I found the quote above and it spoke volumes to me. As some of you may know I am a mother of 3 beautiful kiddos (all under 5) who works her booty off full time to care for her household. I came to a sort of epiphany a couple of weeks ago, that for as long as I can remember I haven't done one thing for myself. In the hustle and bustle of the day to day chores of getting the kiddos to school, baseball practices, getting myself to work late almost everyday and so on and so fourth I literally have become a slave to my routine. After a day of running around like a chicken with my head cut off, I finally come home to fix dinner, give baths, check homework, fight the bedtime battles and finally bring myself to physically wind down and mentally gear back up to get ready to do it all again the next day.

I have made a promise to myself to take more time to nurture and care for me. Putting one self first is such a simple concept but at the same time such a challenge for a person who is as selfless as mother and wife is. I know it will take tons of self discipline, focus and drive but I am determined to be the best version of myself and not allow guilt or anxiety to hold me back. Weather your focus of nurturing yourself has to do with your physical health or mental wellness, just know that we are all on a quest to be the best version of ourselves.

Think it into existence

Today's blog is all about being positive! I am such a strong believer in the law of attraction; negative thoughts invite negativity to your life whereas positive thoughts transform your life into the harmonious & peaceful life that you deserve to live. How have you allowed your thoughts to shape your life lately? What thoughts have you been allowing to drive your attitude and actions? We are all guilty on a day to day basis of letting thoughts overcome us that should be kept far away. It's important to be present and aware of how our thoughts shape our life so that we can make changes where necessary! I have been doing extensive research and some soul searching if you will on my own thinking and how it has shaped my life thus far. I have truly found that the effects of one continuous positive thought through out the day are INCREDIBLE! What I did recently was selected a few topics in my life that I felt needed a positive boost which were body image & financial we...

Where my #MeToo Started, I was 17 and I knew It All

Honestly, what I am about to recount was an experience that my body withstood while my spirit floated helplessly overhead. It was the first time that I ever willingly put myself into a situation that I literally had no control over. I was 17 and I knew it all, I had just broken up for the third time with my manipulative now ex-husband; at the time we were dating. My way of getting back at the ex was to do everything that we did together but with other people – the drinking, partying and rebelling against my parents. I remember I had roped my best friend at the time into coming with me for a night that truly influenced the woman that I am today. My misery so desperately needed the company. At this point of my rebellious 17th year , I began hanging around a family member who was then and is still to this day fighting many demons of her own, we’ll call her la prima. La prima was even more disconnected from her sense of self than I was, every single weekend she’d lose herself to drugs,...

An Open Letter To The Person Dragging Me Down

Today we got into it, just like any other day except for the fact that you were drunk and more verbally abusive than normal. During the day, we had a heart to heart in which I thought you were being sincere. You told me you feel so bad about yourself for being such a disappointment all of your life which is why you turn to beer  Which deep down, I know is just part of the pity party you throw yourself daily. I told you that everyone that you have disappointed throughout your life doesn't give a shit anymore because they are out there living their lives, the ones you are disappointing the most are your kids and I. You were speechless, so I thought we had some sort of a breakthrough. As the night went on, I watched a movie with my little ones,  eventually falling asleep on the couch while you sat in front of the house and drank maybe 8 bottles of beer and half of a bottle of wine. When you decided you wanted more, you woke  me up out of a dead sleep trying to convince me a...
