The Last Time

I feel like I’m reaching a new phase in my life and I’m not sure I like it here. It’s that weird phase where your babies start to turn to big kids, where both kids will be in a school- with kids who might try to steal their innocence and teach them bad things, where…

Light up your soul, baby

I know I preach about self-care and doing what makes your soul happy. I preach about being a busy mom and knowing the feeling of exhaustion way too well. I preach about trying to find alone time and doing what make you happy. But I don't talk a lot about why. We all know when…

Move the rocks

I broke down in yoga class today. Full out cried my eyes out when Audra Day’s Rise Up played (and my Hiit family knows I always break down to this.) I’ve been jamming out to life and feeling great lately. You know- that famous groove where everything seems to be going right. I finally decided…

Second face

I’d like to think I’m wise enough to have had a good amount of experiences and people cross my path that really get me and see my soul. I can count those true people that know me and understand ME to my core and sadly, a few of them I don’t talk to anymore. Three…

Are you okay?

Are you okay? No, I’m tired. I’m done. I’m exhausted. I’m spread too thin. I feel like I can’t breathe. You need a break. You need self care. You need to stop going going going. You need to let something go. Have you ever felt like this? Like you exude so much energy towards everything…

Connection

What a time to be alive, amiright?! I mean seriously, we live in a pandemic, we are isolated, people don’t want to be near people because they are afraid to get the virus, everything is virtual, there are riots about presidents, race, politics, etc. This is one sad generation and at times when we start…

I’ll never forget this day

These are the days that everyone wants to remember. The days where our kids are so innocent. Where they whole-heartedly believe in Santa and think they hear his sleigh. The magic in their eyes break and make my heart over and over again. I couldn’t sleep last night (Christmas Eve) because I was so excited…

The Empty Room

Have you ever had a moment in your life where you can just remember it forever and ever? Yes, I know I have a ton. I’m the type of person who actually really does marinate in the moments - where I know that exact moment will never come back again. I actually stop and say-…

“It’s okay, Mama”

Have you ever been caught by your kids while you’re in break down mode? I mean the crying in the bathroom lock the door sobbing break down? I was caught today. Today, I was feeling the weight of the world. Ever since COVID I can assume most of us feel this way on a daily…

Handle with Care

People who know ME- I mean really know me and my soul know they need to handle me with care. I don't do well with tough love. It's not my jam. My biggest trigger is feeling like a nuisance and while sometimes it is in my head, usually it's not. I grew up feeling like…
