It's the most wonderful tiiiime of the year!!! In this entry, I share my love of egg nog and holiday lights and decorations along with how I celebrated (or rather, didn't celebrate) holidays as a child. Fun times!! ***Correction: I never had a barbie jeep; I got a barbie folding funhouse with a barbie VAN (her size, not mine). I remember always wanting a barbie jeep tho. They looked sooo cool.

Raw/Unedited Emotion - this book hit me hard and I just had to share. Go grab a copy of The Grace Year by Kim Liggett (if that's your thing)!

Let's start out with how good Duck Donuts taste...wow! But if you eat a bunch of them you'll probably crash and burn from a sugar high...just wanted to share a few tidbits on the importance of breath-work, how "Karen" is part of me, and how excited I am to try Skin Deep... **As always, feel free to leave me a voicenote; I'd love to know how you're feeling: https://anchor.fm/nspiredmusings/message

Good Morning - had a pretty eventful weekend, though I didn't get thru half of it in this entry! Things to take away: it's important to find techniques that work for you. Remember, there is no one-size-fits-all hack to improving your life. Try new things; find what works, and create a consistent mindfulness practice. It may help in the long run. And whatever you do, be KIND to yourself. Speak gently, give yourself time to adjust to new practices/techniques. With consistency and adaptation comes a nice lil flow. We're trying to make the low moments in life more manageable (because we can't eliminate them completely).

There are a myriad of affirmations available to us and that's great as a jumping off point but we need to make sure that the one(s) we recite align with the life we're trying to create. There is no one-size-fits-all - you can start with a baseline affirmation but make sure you tailor it to fit your life, your desires, your beliefs so that you can grow. **Remember that self-love is important. We can't expect someone to fill the void in our heart; it places unfair pressure on them to do and be everything you need. We have to close that gap on our own - and show them how to love us based on how much we love our WHOLE self. **Leave me a quick voicenote; I'd love to know if this resonates with you! https://anchor.fm/nspiredmusings/message

Audio journal about my relax, unwind, unplug trip - began reading You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay... wonderfully transformative if you approach it with an open mind. Something to remember: live in the present moment; it's literally all you have. The thoughts you have in the current moment and the emotions attached to them are what create your future. Make sure you're creating a future filled with love and acceptance rather than fear and worry. **Please forgive the [loud] hum of the radiator and the rustling of covers...smh **As always, feel free to leave me a voicenote; I'd love to know how YOU feel! https://anchor.fm/nspiredmusings/message

A "quick" recap of the day while trying to keep from spiraling into a black hole of worry. Spoiler Alert - if you haven't seen the new Mulan, you probably shouldn't listen (and get disappointed). As always, enjoy the randomalities! **You're welcome to leave me a voicenote; I'd love to know how YOU feel! https://anchor.fm/nspiredmusings/message

It's a beautiful day, as the entry title suggests, and I am all over the place! From photography to reading to mythological creatures and back around to butterflies - I don't know what the day has in store but whatever it is, it's sure to be magical! Enjoy! ***The polaroid was invented in 1948, NOT the 70s AND the anatomy of a water lily does NOT include phalanges...they're actually called stamen. So there you go; corrections made! You know what I meant though! 😁 Also, please forgive the vibrations in the background. Next time I'll have my phone on silent. **Feel free to reach out to me at https://anchor.fm/nspiredmusings/message
