7 for Seven
Hello Loves! Carnival is in full swing and I have opted out of the festivities again this year. By the time this is posted I will be well on my way to a mini vacation! And so begins the 8th week of this already fantastic year.
Here is my [short] SEVEN for this week:
Vacation b*tches! My favourite sentence this week: ¡Bienvenido a Miami!
Shared experiences.. What’s better than mini vacays??? Mini vacations with friends!
Connecting with people. My heart has been busted open this week. Valentine’s Day came and went as any other, but this week I had the opportunity to open my heart in ways I never thought possible and I am grateful to know that I can!
H2O! It’s been an intense week of parties, friends, airport runs, late nights, little sleep and all this alongside long days at the office. This is Trinidad Carnival. Thanks to good old H20 for keeping me hydrated and sober and thus able to keep going.
Pedicures. Sometimes a very necessary indulgence. Plus, hot pink toes make me feel sexy!
This body. This one precious body I have been blessed with and have pushed to great lengths this last week has not failed me yet. I am grateful that I enjoy relative good health and I promise to get some much-needed rest over the next few days.
My hustle. Because I could not afford my lifestyle without it.
And there you have it. Short and (hopefully) sweet. I hope that by paying attention to all the blessings in my life and by sowing the seeds of faith and gratitude, I can truly carry with me and reap the rewards of “positivity + balance + bliss” throughout the days ahead.
Thank you for reading, I appreciate you! This is me blowing some glitter and confetti on you because you’re super blessed to have received the gift of another 86,400 seconds today, to spend any way you desire.
Make those seconds count!
I love hearing from you…what are you grateful today? What made you smile? Feel free to share below!
Weekly Photo Challenge: Symmetry
A tree says: My strength is trust.
I know nothing about my fathers,
I know nothing about the thousand children
that every year spring out of me.
I live out the secret of my seed to the very end,
and I care for nothing else.
I trust that God is in me.
I trust that my labor is holy. Out of this trust I live.
Whoever has learned how to listen to trees
no longer wants to be a tree.
He wants to be nothing except what he is.
That is home. That is happiness.
― Hermann Hesse
Better Every day
It’s been a rough start to February. I’ve been trying to keep my head above water and I have to keep reminding myself that “all that in it.”
There will be good days and bad days. That’s life..no?
This journey is about experiences. And how we use those experiences whether they are good or bad. Don’t you agree?
As we progress through this life, we are collecting experiences…collecting experiences so that we can impact others. That’s what this time on earth is all about.
We collect and then we impact others. And this is how we Love.
The reality is if you woke up this morning in your own bed with a roof over your head…healthy, there was food on the table, you had a choice of what to wear and money in your wallet you are richer and more blessed than 75 per cent of the world.
And this was just the start of your day. How are you using the rest of your day to impact others?
Better everyday is a whole-life project that requires baby steps in all areas of our lives. What that means for me is finding one more thing every day to be grateful for…despite it being the week from hell! To learn something new every.single.day. And thus, share what I’ve learnt with those whose path touches mine.
Learn. Grow. Expand. Change. Evolve. Repeat.
Mae West profoundly said, “You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.”
What does growth mean for you?
What does better mean for you?
Will this one precious life you’ve been blessed with…no matter how long or short…be enough for you to say you lived it to the fullest and that you were the very best version of you that you could be?
I would love to hear your thoughts on being better. Feel free to share below.
