COMING SOON: I share all about my cancer journey with
@thepatientstory ! So proud to be a part of this project!

"It definitely took awhile for me to kind of wrap my head around that idea. It's hard. Because you think, 'I'll be in treatment forever. And my life might be kind of run by this disease.'
But if you put it in perspective, everybody deals with something. Whether it be a bad heart or Crohn's disease, other types of chronic disease, you know? Someone battling addiction, having someone that they love battling addiction. Estrangement from family. Everybody's going through something or another. So to me it kind of puts it in perspective - this is my struggle.
Luckily I don't have to deal with many or any of those other issues, but this is my cross to bear and I want to do it, you know, I want to do a service to the other people that are in my position and bear it well.
The other thing, too, is that just because the right treatment out there doesn't exist for you right now, keeping your cancer, doing palliative treatment to keep yourself as healthy and active as possible is always a good thing because things are developing so rapidly out there with clinical trials across the country. So every day that you keep yourself alive is another day that something new might come about that is the key to solving the case of your specific type of cancer."

How about some
#tbt to our first
@mommycon in Kansas City. And a few other pics like some henna I got on my bump one year (yes this exhibitor will be there this year!), me and one of my amazing friends waiting for the awesome giveaways to start (it’s done a little differently now so be sure to check your badge when you check in 😉), my sister and a wonderful friend at the Tula party, and the last pic is the reason we actually missed last year (I was giving birth to our youngest and will be celebrating her first birthday at the event 🤩)
.
As a first time mom I knew the minute I discovered MommyCon that it was something I needed to attend. I didn’t know many like minded parents in my local community but that all started to change once I connected with the amazing community! .
Our first MommyCon was where we met some internet friends in real life, found so much support, information and fun!!! It was well worth the drive since we had already missed the Chicago date. .
Since then we have attended every year at the Chicago location and my absolute favorite part has been the people ❤️ From the ehibitors and the people behind the brands/businesses to the amazing session packed with info to help us make the best decisions for our family to the interactive and hands on event elements like the babywearing lounge and of course all the amazing members of team MommyCon. They are ALL what makes MommyCon so great. And the awesome gift bags and product giveaways deserve to be mentioned as well. That’s how we ended up with the
@orbitbaby bucket seat we have and love so much 😉
.
If you don’t have your ticket yet don’t wait! I’d love to see you there and have you join the amazing community 💗

@theuglypiesby had a wonderful story time today
•
My friendships and my community here are what I will miss the most
•
I am so grateful for
@sbyareamops and the women they have gifted me over the last two years
•
It is so surreal to know we will leave tomorrow and not be back
•
My girls have grown up here, made friendships here, learned to talk here
•
Rowan was born here
•
It’s never hard to leave a place, it’s always hard to leave the ones we have grown to love
•
People always ask how we do it, and honestly the secret to our survival is always community
•
My mother in law always says “you know everybody”
•
Well I sure try!
•
I want to know everyone!
•
I want friend who will bless me and allow me to bless them!
•
I need friends who will bring me dinner and coffee on days my kids are “the worst”
•
And I need friends I can take coffee too and give all my stuff to when it’s time to leave again
•
I need someone to tell me when their day sucks and someone to hear me when mine does
•
Let’s be honest, we all need friends who give us hand me downs
•
We all need workout buddies and donut buddies
•
Today I learned we need women who will eat pie with us at 10:30 in the morning
•
Where do you all find community?

LOVERS OF LIFE - If I am responsible for my life, why not make it an epic, lovely celebration?
The more I let go of personal needs, wants and desires, zoom out and see that nothing outside of me will bring any fulfillment. Maybe temporary, bringing me highs when something ‘good’ happens and bringing me lows when something ‘bad’ happens. I can keep trying to fill my bucket with good stuff, but it’s as if the bottom is missing - nothing stays. It’s all my mind making the story. ⠀
When I stop, sloooooow down, relax, drop all ideas, expectations, judgements, wishes and look beyond it all and see from where I’m seeing. I find that which never changes, that which is stable. Notice, what is noticing? I remember that everything is already damn good. It was me all along. ⠀
It’s a learning process, dancing with this human existence and all of its flaws and realizing I am consciousness having a human experience - or going even beyond that, where absolute dissolving takes place, perfection is left (no words to describe that...). ⠀
Let’s celebrate! Let’s trust and surrender, dance and sing with it all. I feel so blessed with all the beautiful people and mirrors around me. Thank you. For showing me the way, for remembering me when I forget, for being the beautiful being you are. And if you’re curious, please come, come, come join, whoever you are.
There is nothing I would rather do than sharing this beautiful life with you. Reflecting your love and light and facilitating a safe space to grow, where you can find and share your own wisdom and truth.

What are some fun ways you get a workout in?

♍How appropriate. With all the talk of the upcoming Virgo Full Moon, it seems fitting that the Hierophant would pop up. Virgo is highly concerned with engaging in things that benefits society at large, and the Hierophant card directly corresponds with organizations, groups and societal structures. So, what does that even really mean?! Pay attention when your elders speak to you; pay attention to what is happening in your government, your community and even your family. Paradigms are shifting worldwide and we must be ready to facilitate change. Or maybe, like me, you are finally finding your place within [specify social group here]. I have had a drought of community the last few months, but finding my "squad" is helping me to feel whole again. What is the Hierophant saying to YOU?

What gives you purpose? For years now, I honestly believed just being a wife and mom was my only purpose. Yes, I do believe that’s my GREATEST purpose. Deep down I know hat I can and should have more purposes! I love to help and serve others. As a stylist, that’s the joy of my day...making people feel good about themselves. I want to take that joy into helping people in other ways.
Over the last month, I’ve found a new community. They are helping me find a different purpose and side of myself. It’s teaching me to be vulnerable. Im truly learning personal development. I’m devoting ME into something greater than what I thought I could be ❤️ .

Can we be authentic in our pursuit for purpose? Can we accept our differences with grace and compassion? Can we encourage one another by accentuating our strengths? -
-
I had a moment this morning. You could call it an epiphany or a message from God. I believe we are being called to be authentic in our pursuit for truth and purpose. -
-
Many of you know and respect my belief that Jesus lived a perfect life, died a horrific death, and was risen conquering death and sin so that everyone that calls on his name and asks for new life will receive it. (If you want to know more DM me.)
-
-
I feel the need to direct this conversation to those of us that believe the same. If we feel the need to show perfection and hide behind Christianity as a way to lift ourselves higher than those around us, we are missing the mark entirely. This pride will be our downfall. -
-If by chance you are hurting and feel like you cannot share this pain, break free from this isolation. Allow your neighbor or friend to bless you by helping. We are meant to live in community. By putting up a facade of perfection, we are isolating ourselves and others. If you don’t have anyone, please DM me and let’s start a conversation. -
-
How will you be authentic in your pursuit this week? 💪🙌🥰

Trying to catch a few moments of calm amid the chaos of nearly 10 days of school closure due to snow! As usual — So grateful for our community. Sledding, impromptu dinners, movies and play dates had helped to maintain some semblance of sanity! Now to think of what to do for one more week off — mid winter break is upon us! 😩 any ideas...I’m over it.

This is one of my favorite sayings. I even wear a daily necklace with it engraved. It applies so so many aspects in life, physical, mental, emotional. Trusting and letting go of something is not easy and it takes time, but it will be worth it. I trust that it will be. ❤️✨

For all you sober curious friends!
Many times... a night out with friends, birthday parties, bachelorette parties, weddings, holidays, wine tasting excursions, etc. would include consuming at least 3-4 drinks across the span of the evening for me.
I remember during my annual check-ups when my doctor would ask how much I drink in a week, I definitely wouldn’t tell her the full story. I knew it wasn’t healthy to be drinking the amount I was, but I also knew a majority of my friends and the people I knew were also consuming a similar amount, so I didn’t think of myself as abnormal.
Now, as I’ve taken this journey of sobriety, my eyes are being opened to all the major health risks and to the fact that many of my previous drinking days were considered HIGH RISK.
3 or more drinks in one day is considered high risk drinking for women. And more than 7 in one week.
High-risk drinking means a higher chance of cancer and other health ailments.
Fortunately, the human body is amazing and can regenerate cells and has the inner wisdom to heal itself. So, I’m hoping my body will heal itself of the damage that I may have already caused.
If at any point you are considering cutting back on your drinking or stopping altogether, know that it’s never too late to let your body start healing itself. 💗✨🙌

Find your community.
.
Find that group of people that: won’t leave when things get tough, take you for who you are, support the choices and mistakes you make, love all of you.
.
As I get older and the years go by I often look back at who has come into my life; who stayed, who left, and who needed to go. Weeks, months, and in some cases years will go by without seeing or talking to some of them but I know at anytime I can turn to them. When I feel alone, I know I can turn to them. I have an endless amount reasons to be thankful for each one of these girls.

These are my people.💗

In January, I quietly picked a word for this year - “confidence.” Confidence in my dreams as a creative, confidence in my decisions as a business owner, and above all confidence in my work as a designer. This month and a half has been SUCH a game changer for me, friends. 😍
.
.
I’m a recovering perfectionist. In the past, I’ve come up with an idea, been fired up about it, and then let perfectionistic doubt set in and stop me - could I really pull it off that well? Could I really make it look that way? Is that really such a good idea? It’s 1000% the result of my childhood and the way I was raised but that’s a sermon for another day..... Well, since January 1st, I’ve just done all the ideas with confidence that yes, they could be that good. Yes, it could turn out that well. And goodness gracious, it has been the best month and half of my life!🙌🏻
.
.
So why share it with this photo? Because last year, this beautiful girl reached out to me about designing a custom crown for her anniversary session with her husband. And last week I hired HER on as my virtual assistant to do all the things that need to be done but I just can’t be pulled in one more direction. Today I took a look at what she’s done so far and was blown away at how much she’s done in a week. The old me would have stopped before I hired her and said no girl, don’t take on any risks. But the new confident me said hey there’s room for growth here, we’re doing this, and I’m confident that it’s going to turn out exactly like I’m dreaming it will. Guys, it’s magical to put away paralyzing perfectionism and just CHASE YO DARN DREAMS knowing God gave you a gift and you just need to start showing up. .
.
I’ll stop my rant here but I hope this encouraged someone today. And I’d love to hear if it did. And if you’re a small business owner who needs a helping hand because you’re only one person and can only do so much, check out this sweet, trustworthy girl

Did you know your goals and dreams don’t have expiration dates😮
Just because you didn’t hit that milestone, you didn’t lose the weight, you didn’t get that raise, you didn’t Marie Kondo your house doesn’t mean you can’t or won’t. Don’t put time limits on your goals. Whether your success story comes next year or in a decade, you did it, so be proud.
