A gift to myself

A couple days ago my husband took Celeste and I to the beach to enjoy the beautiful warm day we were having. Since Celeste’s birth we hadn’t really been out much with her and most of the outings we did have with her had been for doctor appointments, so it felt great to be out together… Continue reading A gift to myself

Acts of Kindness & Love

Lately I have been surprised by so many acts of kindness and love that I’m at a loss for words in expressing my gratitude to God and my family/friends and all I can say is a heartfelt Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! I actually heard those 3 simple but significant thank you’s from one of the Pastor’s at church at our… Continue reading Acts of Kindness & Love

Nurturing Oneself

Today’s thoughts were inspired by a blog that I love to follow. I’ve seen people do these “pingbacks” on their posts but I have no clue how to do that (yet) and so instead I’ll post the link in case you want to read where I got my inspiration from. http://mirchichic.wordpress.com/2011/07/21/worth-it/ So going off of the above… Continue reading Nurturing Oneself

A Day To Celebrate

This Bump of Mine

It’s been quite a while since my last post and that’s because I’ve been truly enjoying this time off after finishing my Spring semester at school. I can’t even begin to explain the relief I felt when I finished my last final, pure bliss. Now that I have all this extra free time there are no more… Continue reading This Bump of Mine

Joy

It’s been an overwhelming past few days, not in a negative way though. So many beautiful things have happened and the emotion is so overwhelming that I don’t quite know what to do with it. You know that pain you feel when you’re heartbroken or something very bad has happened? Well I feel the depth… Continue reading Joy

Excellent Movie: “I Am” directed by Tom Shadyac

My husband and I saw the movie “I Am” tonight and loved it, it’s an excellent movie that reminds you to reflect on how it is that you want to live your life and treat people and also to ask yourself where your heart is. What truly matters in life is not competition, greed, and winning…it’s… Continue reading Excellent Movie: “I Am” directed by Tom Shadyac

Positive Influences

I was just about to write some random stuff for today’s post and then my brother sparked inspiration in me. Before I get started though I want to share a little bit about what led to the inspiration my brother triggered and thus reminded me about Sunday’s topic at Church. Last week I made plans with my brother… Continue reading Positive Influences
