Hello lovelies! It’s been quite some time since I have written. I have been struggling with what to say, what to cover. Then tonight after my yoga practice I felt compelled to journal. As I re-read my thoughts I realized that this is what I what I wanted to share. Short and sweet but feels just perfect. Sending you all love, light and healthy vibes!
An honest review of Taking Cara Babies “Will I Ever Sleep Again?” Infant sleep course
Hi Friends! It’s been a year since I’ve written to you. In that time, I’ve become a momma and our son is about to turn 1 in just a few days. This has been the most incredible year of my life, of course against the backdrop of one of the hardest years for absolutely everyone in the world as we navigate this global pandemic.
Now that I’ve got 1 year of momma experience under my belt, I want to revisit some of the most important topics from both my son’s first year and our first year of being parents! So this will be my first blog in a series all about motherhood.
Wow - it’s been 6 months since I last wrote. A lot has happened in those 6 months….primarily, a global pandemic. WTF? After being so consistent I ended up losing touch with my writing. I got caught up in the notion of needing to produce the perfect piece and it never seemed to happen. I was putting way too much pressure on myself and the joy and benefits of writing disappeared. SO I’m putting my fingers to the keyboard today to get my writing juices flowing once again….forget perfection. After all, nothing is perfect (nor should it be) and that is what makes this life so beautiful.
Hello readers! I'm super excited to share this post with you all, as to me it exemplifies part of the original vision Allison I had for the blog: focusing on things (no matter how big or small) that we are loving lately. So…what have I been loving lately?! My mom's commitment to her cardiovascular health and her development of a walking exercise routine! I really wanted to feature her because she exemplifies that small consistent changes can add up to some of the biggest results. I truly couldn't be prouder of her!
Today is World Stroke Day and something I feel compelled to speak out, despite my hesitancy because it’s quite emotional and private. I’m still wrestling with the fact that stroke is something that has effected me. It’s important though to share our stories, embrace our vulnerabilities, and get important conversations started. World Stroke Day seeks to raise awareness for stroke, the second leading cause of death. A stroke can happen to anyone, at anytime and anywhere. Young or old, completely healthy or suffering from a pre-existing condition, anyone can be effected. With stroke it’s important to act FAST and to know what to look out for. I’d urge you all to go to https://www.worldstrokecampaign.org for a variety of resources. It takes just a few minutes to educate yourself and you just might save a life!
After an almost 4 month hiatus I'm happy to say I'm back to writing!!
Over the last few months I struggled to settle on a certain topic I wanted to write about. When it comes to my writing I am definitely a perfectionist and I feel like I need to deliver a top-quality piece with a clear beginning, middle and end each and every time. My mind, emotions and experiences were all over the place and I couldn't settle down enough to string together what I considered a cohesive and coherent post. But then I realized life is not always so succinct and easy to tie up in a nice little package and that in and of itself is what makes it so beautiful. Back in the beginning of June I was on the cusp of experiencing so much beauty, so much opportunity, and so much "newness". As I've moved through so much in the past few months I finally decided to take the leap and just write: attempting to cover all that I've been feeling and all that has been happening. Here goes nothing – my stream of consciousness post! I'm smirking as I'm typing because there's no way I can adequately capture all of my feelings and do them justice with mere words.
So…it’s been a while! HELLO! I haven’t written in such a long time for a few reasons but the primary one being….(drumroll please)…. I’M PREGNANT! My husband and I found out earlier this spring that we’re going to have a baby in December, which is to be quite honest is the absolute best thing that has ever happened to me and my husband and our literal dream come true.
“You will always be okay! Money and material things come to you when you dare to trust in life’s ability to take you exactly where you need to go. When we live in fear we create tense vibrations that keep the things we long for at a distance. Worrying is praying for what we don’t want to happen. Focus on what you want, not what you fear!” - Rachel Brathen
