Hello Loves!

This life we live. If it ain’t one thing…it’s certainly another. After feeling down and finally getting myself back on track, my timelines were flooded this week with way too many RIP messages.

Once again I was reminded of just how fragile life is. Each day you open your eyes and you’re still in the land of the living is a chance to start again. To own your shit (whatever it is) and live your life. Here’s to this one precious life we are blessed with and living it to the fullest.

That said, here’s my 7 for Seven this week:

Another week. Another day. Another chance. Still here. I’m grateful for the chance every day to start again.

This blog. This community. I appreciate you dear reader, more than you will ever know.

Juicing. I’m grateful once again this week for doing something good for my body.

Netflix and wine. Because adulthood.

Impromptu family barbecues. Sometimes the best experiences are the ones we don’t plan. I haven’t belly-laughed like that in a long time.

Instagram accounts that inspire me. One of my absolute favourite accounts is this one.

This song. This video. These lyrics!

And there you have it. Short and 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!

For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food, for love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.
– Ralph Waldo Emerson

I’m in a nostalgic mood today and I’m grateful for fresh perspective and gratitude. The dishes above represent moments with family and friends that long after taste of the food is gone, memories of meals shared in love remain.
