This is for my fellow Americans:⠀
⠀
We have 34 days to VOTE (yes all in capital letters) because I am actually shouting! ⠀
⠀
Yesterday is over. It is stamped in time. Once the debate was over I had very little interest in what my party that I represent was saying on the news channels. ⠀
⠀
Why? Because I saw what they saw, heard what they heard. It just made me spin.⠀
⠀
So, I turned on the opposite parties news channel. It was interesting what was the focus, justifications, and what points they connected with. Still in opposition and still spun. However, I see what they are interested in. ⠀
⠀
It’s not to late to research and learn. The more I do the more I stand behind my vote and my party’s votes! That’s power. ⠀
⠀
I encourage you to have power of information. To feel good about your decision. Then let it go. ⠀
⠀
Don’t give up, learn more and no matter what please encourage and/or cast a VOTE. ⠀
⠀
For some of us it is exhausting and scary. ⠀
⠀
It’s only 34 days away! But we have to keep going and keep fighting for the greater good.
⠀

Have you ever made a “Hell yes” decision? How dreamy right?! ⠀
⠀
Ahh so good.. ⠀
⠀
The glory of knowing that the choice you made was the right choice. The feeling of looking forward and b-lining to your destiny with zero fu*k’s given. Owning that what you’re about to embark on is the “right decision”. It does not get better than that. ⠀
⠀
Like many, I’m a person with a history that has shaped the way I function. ⠀
⠀
Up until a couple of years ago, decision making was almost an impossible task. The process would look like this- ⠀
⠀
■ Call my best friend 3 times that week asking her what she thought.⠀
■ Call my cousin 2 times that week asking her what she thought. ⠀
■ Asking my sister 1 time that week.⠀
■ About 30 hours of day dreaming about fictional situations that may or my not.. (who am I kidding) THAT NEVER OCCURRED!⠀
■ Give an answer.⠀
■ Then changing my answer 45 times. ⠀
⠀
I hope there is no one that can relate to this, but I know there is, and it’s all good. Because we rise like the sun EVERY DAY 🔅. ⠀
⠀

Some are good— keep those! ⠀
Some hold you back, weigh you down, and don’t serve you anymore. Maybe it’s time to say goodbye. Little fu*kers! ⠀
⠀
They take up more space than you think. And why do we keep them for so long? Especially when it feels so good to say good bye.⠀
⠀
You deserve all the space you need for greatness. ⠀
⠀
If anything is holding you down remember we all have it in us to:⠀
⠀
• Open up.⠀
• Let it go.⠀
• Forgive (yourself first, then others).⠀
• Go deeper and understand more.⠀
• Be more empathetic.⠀
• Own that you were doing the best you could at that time.⠀
• Find something to honor in the experience.⠀
• It’s okay most of us have them! ⠀

My Grandma Irene was hilarious, disruptive, outgoing, kind, friendly, naughty and super smart. ⠀
⠀
She lived on the 3rd floor and there was a smaller building roof that you could see from her kitchen and living room window. ⠀
⠀
Pigeons used to flock to this roof. Out of all these pigeons there was one that was special named Mr. Information. ⠀
⠀
We knew it was Mr. Information because of his markings. The white spots where bigger then the grey spots. Like the Mr. Information in the picture.⠀
⠀
Mr. Information was special because he would basically tell my grandmother when we were being bad behind her back. ⠀
⠀
Mr. Information was a 🐀.⠀
⠀
This made us paranoid when we were at our grandmothers house. We knew we would get caught if tried to do anything “bad.”⠀
⠀
🌿 This is when I would feel bad or off if I did something I knew I shouldn’t of done. ⠀
⠀
🌿 My conscience became the watchful eye of Mr. Information. ⠀
⠀
❌ As I grew older, I realized the only person I was being dishonest to was myself. ⠀
⠀
💡 Funny how these little life lessons carry us through big life experiences. ⠀
⠀
Cheers to smart grandmas and watchful Mr. Information! ⠀

When I get a new note book sometimes I do this thing. I flip to a random page and write a quote that inspires me on that day. ⠀
⠀
This book is about 4-ish years old and I started to use it this week for my morning pages. It was a gift from a friend. ⠀
⠀
At the time, our relationship was on the mend and this was a sweet little gesture that nodded to better times for us. ✨⠀
⠀
Actively we took on practices, tried new things, approaching our friendship like the Fool. Journey present. No destiny in sight. I will always be grateful for her because of that. ⠀

Let’s talk about my favorite topic— Standing in power by being perfectly/imperfect! 🗣⠀
⠀
Why do we have shame? Why do we go deep in the depths of thinking we are not good enough or could of try harder? Or even worse- regret certain actions. Why? ⠀
⠀
I can’t speak for you. However, I sure as hell can speak for myself? ⠀
⠀
It all boils down to one disturbing factor for me:⠀
⠀
🏹 Societal beliefs that equal to OTHER people’s opinions of me. ⠀
⠀
The truth is- I’m all about the non- societal beliefs. Because that’s where our story lies. What makes us who we are and that to me is perfection. ⠀
⠀
This is the practice!⠀
⠀
IT IS NONE OF MY BUSINESS WHAT OTHERS THINK ABOUT ME! ⠀
⠀
Who cares if they agree with your choices, if you feel confident that it was the best action to take. ⠀
⠀
In reverse-⠀
⠀
Who cares if they think you’re the best person in the world if you can’t stand to be alone with yourself.⠀
⠀
⠀
✨✨WHO CARES✨✨⠀
⠀
I don’t know who needs to hear this but here it goes. ⠀
⠀

It’s obvious that having the responsibility to care of another’s well being is complicated.⠀
⠀
Recently, I found something I wrote down on hotel stationary.⠀
⠀
It was from the second time I traveled for work after having my daughter. It was a 14 day trip without my family. ⠀
⠀
The first 5 days were spent with me wondering what I had left behind, listening to children cry thinking it was my own, and wishing the days away so I can see my family faster. ⠀
⠀
Basically, everything I swore I would not do. After years of loosing myself in relationship after relationship and successfully making a u-turn from that pattern, I knew this one would be the hardest to stay grounded and present. This was a test— that I failed at. ⠀
⠀
I needed to make a u-turn and fast! So I did! ⠀
⠀
For me, there’s a difference between missing someone and feeling guilt that you’re not there. ⠀
⠀
✅ Sadness is okay. ⠀
❌ Guilt not okay. ⠀
⠀
Especially, when you are doing something else you love. Something that is great for yourself and others. ⠀
⠀
So here was what I did. ⠀
⠀
Okay, back to the paper! I carried this paper in a note book with me for the remainder of the trip. ⠀
⠀
It is a simple reminder that we are human and it’s humanly possible to have the capacity to:⠀
⠀
- Love and be loved in many ways. ⠀
- Be great parents and have other passions.⠀
- Take on big things even when your world feels full.⠀
⠀
This is what I wrote:⠀
⠀
🧡 Fill it up with love.⠀
🧡 Do it for the greater good.⠀
🧡 Treat it with kindness.⠀
🧡 Go all-the-fu*k-out!⠀
⠀
If someone needs this it’s all yours! ⠀
⠀
It’s a Navi Day! ⠀
