Sometimes kindness isn’t welcomed.
It’s misunderstood. Met with silence. Even turned away.

But kindness was never meant to be a transaction.
It isn’t, “I give, and you give back.”
It’s a gift. A reflection of who we are — not who others are ready to be.

When kindness goes unreciprocated, it can sting.
But that doesn’t mean it was wasted.
Because kindness nourishes you, too.
It affirms your heart, your values, and the kind of world you’re quietly helping to shape — even when no one notices.

Not everyone knows how to receive softness.
Some are guarded. Some are hurting. Some just aren’t ready.
That doesn’t mean you stop being kind.
It means your light was strong enough to show up, even when it wasn’t mirrored back.

Kindness, when it’s unshaken, is powerful.
Because it says:

“Even if you can’t meet me here, I still choose to stay kind.”

Some people share kindness in a whisper.
Others? They shout it across the sidewalk with full-body enthusiasm.

💛 For those of us who are neurodivergent — living with ADHD, autism, or sensory differences — kindness can show up in ways that are expressive, bold, or even startling to others.
It’s not less meaningful — it’s just loud love.

This is your reminder that:
✨ Not all kindness is quiet.
✨ Not all kindness is socially “neat.”
✨ But all kindness, in its truest form, deserves to be seen.

Let’s teach kids (and grownups) that kindness has many voices —
even the bold, loud, unexpected ones — can travel just as far as any other.

“Hi… um, I really like your shoes.”

To some, it might seem small.
To someone who’s shy or navigating social anxiety, sensory challenges, or ADHD…
That one sentence can feel like climbing a mountain.
But it’s still kindness.

Not all kindness is loud or polished.
Sometimes it stumbles or whispers.
But it’s still a connection—and those connections matter more than we realize.

🟡 This is the first in a series celebrating all the different ways kindness can look. Because all of them are valid.

💬 What’s your kind of kindness?

You’re not alone in your grief. 🕯️

Grief can be incredibly isolating — whether it’s the death of a loved one, a pet, a relationship, or even the loss of who we thought we’d be by now.

And for those of us who are neurodivergent, it can feel even harder to open up. We might:

Struggle to find the “right” words
Fear being “too much” or “too sensitive”
Hold our grief inside because we’ve been taught not to burden others…

But here’s the truth:
Grief shared is grief softened.
When we speak our pain — even in small ways — we light a candle in the dark.
And sometimes, someone else lights theirs in response.
That’s how connection grows. That’s how hope spreads.

If you’re holding silent grief today, know that your feelings are valid. You don’t have to carry them alone.

✨ It’s okay to say, “I’m hurting.”
✨ It’s okay to be the one who reaches out.
✨ It’s okay to be seen in your sadness.

You’re not too much.
You’re human.
And you’re worthy of comfort.

When you have a retro loving kiddo, but want to incorporate self love/ self growth and motivation in to a print for them… thank you procreate and canva

And for real, who doesn’t love pac man?!

We were talking about something very familiar, splitting attention up into too many things and then all of it basically going to s**t. Or - not having a real grasp on any one thing because you can’t focus on both / multiple at once.

I have a real problem with doing this myself. I will either try to do so much in a small amount of time and get overwhelmed or just get burnout.

One small goal at a time. 🟡

Yesterday morning you were mad at me. I was trying to parent on a school morning amid the rush of emotions and adrenaline to get everyone out the door.

I was going to make you clean your own room and make your own bed.

Then I realized it was overwhelm, and sleep deprivation. So, I cleaned your room and made your bed for a fresh start. You laid down after school and slept 12 hours. . .

I'm glad you got a reset, the restful sleep you needed. I'm glad I have grown enough to realize you needed some help and not more responsibility after another full day feeling exhausted.

Parents, it's okay to get annoyed with your kids. And vice versa. But dig deep and try to remember in the hard moments while you're teaching responsibility, independence etc... You also need to teach we all hit and wall and need some help now and then.

Life is rough for everyone. Everyone. .. Read again.... Everyone.
Not just for parents, but kids as well.

We can be a forgetful bunch...
I usually find I look up the same thing over and over, over a period of time. Sometimes forgetting I already found the information.... But then forgot it.

Husband says it looks like stuff you'd find in the garbage disposal.

Yeah, well... I did put it in a blender.
🤗🤣

Ran out of cucumber, so it's now three oranges, two apples, some lemon, ginger, spinach and greens and two bananas. About a cup or two of water and hit blend.

I use to juice a ton and then stopped. (With a juicer)
Now, this way I'm getting most of the veggies and fruits now with blending.

So…

*just because my eldest is talking to a friend about this just happening. Officially a notice when you go to open the app.*
Always up for a bit of a laugh when things get serious.

How are you all feeling about it?

01/17/2025

I've had a lot of struggles with mental health. . .

As a child, before having my kids, after giving birth to said children, while raising kids, every now and then, and sometimes every day.

It's something many people deal with, and often times, never talk about.

Just saw this photo on a friends story, and especially after seeing today that a local high school student very recently ended their life after struggling for over 6 years with their mental health, wanted to share.

Struggling with mental health is;
Sometimes you do it happy,
Sometimes you do it scared,
Sometimes you do it hesitant
Sometimes you do it panicked
Sometimes you do it feeling numb.. Please, always keep trying to do it.

The lack of mental health care.. And lack of care and empathy for the people dealing with mental health is sometimes just depressing in itself.

You're not alone.

I wish I had an immensely impactful statement to share here, just sending love to all those are struggling now, those who have hurt so deeply and all those that are now left behind.

I realized I had not posted or been active for a long time.

Sometimes you just need to check out so you can check in on other things.

How are you all doing?
