Now is a beautiful opportunity. Yesterday, now was filled with opportunity, and tomorrow, now will present even more opportunities. Now is all that there is. It’s OK to have goals, dreams, aspirations, and plans. But if you aren’t finding joy, growth, satisfaction, awareness, and release… then all of now’s moments will present overarching vibrations of overwhelm, disappointment, frustration, and general misalignment. What’s happening right now for you? Look up from your phone look around the room that you’re in. There’s only one person there in control of how good you can feel right now. It’s you. In this moment find one thing that feels good. Doesn’t have to be poignant, it doesn’t have to be inspirational, heck, it can even be mediocre at best! I’m looking around my room and finding joy in the phrase on my coffee mug because every time I see it it makes me smirk and laugh just a little bit. It could possibly be one of the most accurate statements about me. “I have the vocabulary of a well educated sailor.” See? Pretty simple when you tune your mind. The hardest part… The tuning! What do you see that you can take satisfaction in right now? #AbrahamHicks #NowIsDelicious #ThereIsOnlyNow #LiveInThePresent #MasterYourMindset #ChooseNow #LearningToLive #LivingAgain #CelebrateToday #Carpediem (at Greenwood Village, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnpGov5rwFj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Daisy Doodle is out with her siblings investigating after breakfast! She's so much more alert and interested in her surroundings!! She crawled up into my bed last night and slept under the covers all night long. She needed some hugs 💜 #DaisyMae #seniorgreatdane #seniordogs #seniordogsofinstagram #seniordogsdoitbetter #whisperingwillowsseniordogsanctuary #whereloveiswhisperedtothelastbreath #rescuedandloved #learningtolive #healingwithlove #greatdane #exploring #seniordogrescue #retirementlife #gentlesoul #endanimalabuse (at Whispering Willows Senior Dog Sanctuary, Inc.)

Try. Risk it. Reach out. You never know what magic might come from a single step forward. Failure doesn’t matter when you’re still moving toward something that matters.

Recovery Update + Life Lately💫

Just wanted to check in with you all. Here’s a snapshot from my Nomo app — not everything is where I want it to be, but I’m still here, still trying.

💜 120 days clean from cutting

💙 7 days without drinking

💜 a few hours cigarette-free — I had 6 months once, I’ll get there again

💙 a few hour since my binge eating instant noodles

The truth is, I had 5 whole years clean from self-harm. And that’s not erased by a relapse. I’m still proud of that version of me, and I’m fighting to be her again.

Life has been… a lot. I graduated university! I’m moving abroad for my postgrad. But my health’s been rough — I got pneumonia in December, now I have asthma, chronic migraines, and some really heavy thoughts I don’t want to sugarcoat. Honestly? I’m scared, tired, and hurting. But I’m also trying. Every single day.

If you’re reading this, thank you for being here. Your support means more than I can say. I’m glad I have this little corner of the internet where I can be real and not alone.

Here’s to healing, however messy it looks. 🕊️

Take that chance, put in the effort, make that call. You never know how it will turn out, failure means nothing if you have the goal in focus.

I call back my power from all people places entities and situations that have been stealing my power and energy without my consent and I give back any power or energy that is not mine to carry

You can love a person and realize they are bad for you at the same time.
