Hey Loves,

Prom is one of the most exciting yet stressful times of your high school career. From the moment I started high school, I thought about what prom would be like but it wasn’t until my senior year when I realized that Prom not only marked a great celebration of high school but also the end of an era. For all of my high school seniors, enjoy prom and graduation to the fullest because college is a whole different ball game.

The End Of An Era

Hey Loves,

Ever fall out with a friend over something insignificant and wonder how you can repair the relationship or if it was even worth repairing? Some people are only in your life temporarily while others are in your life for a lifetime. Your gut will tell you when you meet a for lifer. Anyone who is worth having in your life will make a lifelong imprint on your heart and you will never second guess their love and loyalty because they will never give you a reason to. Even if your circle is small, that’s ok because each person in your circle serves a purpose and so do you.

My Circle Is Small But Mighty

Hey Loves,

It’s ME Season. Choosing yourself can cause riffs in your circle of family and friends but sometimes, choosing yourself is the best thing for yourself. This year, be selfish with your wants and dreams. Be selfish with your priorities and be selfish with your ability to give whole heartedly because if you’re giving without receiving, your cup will become empty faster than you think and no one will be there to fill your cup back up. Remember, It’s YOUR TIME TO SHINE.To hear this episode in full, be sure to check out the podcast episode linked below for your convenience or my YouTube channel for a video version of this episode.

It’s My Time To Shine

Hey Loves,

This week was a much needed break. I was able to travel to Los Angeles to see family whom I haven’t seen in the last, almost year, and get some much needed rest. However of course, there is always a hint of drama with every trip. Thankfully I was able to find the positives in this trip and enjoy it as much as I could. Don’t forget to enjoy the time you have to yourself as much as you enjoy the time you have with your loved ones. I tend to overwork myself and forget to rest but there is just something about being in Cali that relaxes and recharges me no matter how wild or short my time spent there might be.

With Love,

A True Cali Girl

Hey Loves,

I wanted to give you a little life update of all the NEW things going on in my life recently. It’s important to keep in mind that starting something new can give you the little oomph you need.Recently, my SweetTart came home for a little break from work and it made me realize that I really needed a break from my everyday routine. He was able to jump right into the system I created for Chandler and help out wherever I needed him to. I was able to catch up on some much needed sleep, film content that I put on the back burner because of time restrictions and refocus on what’s important to me. Although it can be hard being a single parent while married, if you are a military spou,what I mean, having your person pick up right where the left off without any complaints is always a great feeling.

Hey Loves,

Setting boundaries are very important not only for your mental health but for your romantic and platonic relationships. No matter how someone feels about your boundaries, they were set by you for a reason. But what do you do when you don’t know how to set boundaries because for so long, your boundaries were nonexistent? Should you be more lenient with your boundaries because it’s so new to everyone in your circle or should you be more strict with enforcing them. This weekend I was scrolling through my Gentle Giant email and I got a really interesting letter from a Miss Stella about this very subject so let’s jump right into it and see if we can help this Gentle Giant out.

Setting Boundaries Is Self Love

Hey loves,

Spending time with yourself is just as important as spending time with your loved ones. As a new mom, taking time for yourself is not only beneficial for yourself but it’s also beneficial for your baby as well. If you aren’t taking care of yourself, how could you possibly take care of a baby? Remember to set a little time aside for your wants and needs. Your baby will thank you for it.
