And We Back! Hi 2024…

Hi there! I know it’s been a short while. Okay, a long while! Some would even say years ( 10 to be exact eek lol). It’s been a whirlwind hasn’t it? As a country, as a planet, we’ve seen a lot of changing times, some natural, others not so much. Then there’s your personal life. Hope you have been managing well!!

Just wanted to make this intro and say, “We Back”. If you need to feel the energy that I’ve entered this time with listen to Chance the Rapper- All We Got here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDAkWJgTSOk. So to not make a long post an essay, I’m excited to grow and share with you this year. That’s all things eco, sustainable, wellness, fitness, and outdoors! I plan on dabbling into kid content as well. We want them growing and learning too! Also, personal musings and posts like this of course. And guess what? I’ve started running. Yes! Me, a runner (I know I know). Though sports and activeness are not new to me, running was never on my to-do list until I started running about a year or two ago with a very good friend. I’m excited to share that journey as well. Don’t call me a runner runner just yet but I do a little shuffle here and there haha. I ran 6.5 miles on Christmas and it was so fun and invigorating. I felt like I was in an exclusive club of dedicated crazies running when I should’ve been in bed haha. I’ll include those pictures below.

So to finish this post.. When I ran on Christmas my sunglasses got foggy due to the cold air and heat coming off my face, and I for a while I kept them on because there was still a small view I could see. And to be honest I knew I was on the right path as long as I stayed straight and could see a piece of the path in front of me. It made me think… Sometimes that’s the only key you need. You are being led and it’s scary because you can’t see left or right, or even far into the distance, but just a small path in front of you. This is your reminder as it is mine to stay the course this year! Have faith and trust that you are on the right path. To close (yes I know I said that in the beginning of this now essay but seriously this time), I will share 2 of my resolutions. 1. To get back into taking pictures this year, maybe a new camera is in my future. And 2. Open myself to the beautiful and wonderful ways life can surprise me. That means taking more chances. A little risk may just take me where I was always meant to be.

Happy 2024! Tell me if you have any resolutions? If there’s something you’d like to see from me let me know. Until next time!!

Site facelift coming soon. Hold tight! ❤

Are Obstacles Permanent?

This message hit me loud and clear last night when I was reading over a quote I wrote down from the great brother Dick Gregory’s discussion. A midst tons of other jewels, he stated, “You can go to the tallest mountain and laugh because it’s as big as it’ll ever be.. you grow everyday.” I just thought this was so amazing bc it’s true. What was the message I got last night? 

Obstacles are not permanent fixtures.

So simple, yet for me, so profound.

Look back at the last obstacle you had.. Many times we feel like our obstacles, mountains, problems, will never end. We treat them as such. Like they’re rooted in concrete and shall not pass. Whether its in a relationship, friendship, self-imposed blocks, whatever bump is in the road, just know its NOT permanent… so stop giving your power to fleeting issues. If we become malleable, we can withstand anything. Like water, we must flow, bend, curve, and turn, with the current.. in turn, we will soon come to learn that every lesson is a blessing. Every. single. one. Thats even hard for me to say… Every lesson you ask? That friend that screwed you over? The jerk? Money issues? The impossible to work with boss? Yes. Its a lesson, just for you. To make you grow. Give thanks for it, learn from it, and either move on, or dont allow it to control you. Anyway… I could go on and on, but i’ll stop here. Always remember…

 

Obstacles are not permanent fixtures!! 

sn: I am totally a work in progress… and I have sooooooo many obstacles that I never discuss that im sure ppl would never believe but I have faith that there is more to this thing called life and we came here to enjoy, learn, and explore. Because of this, my “obstacles” dont consume me (sometimes… haha) 

 

 

Id love to hear your personal experience of an obstacle that you overcame. Did it seem like it would never end? What did you learn?
