My husband and I found ourselves sitting in a courtroom once again defending our rights to build our family a home on property we own. It’s been a longgggg and frustrating process.

See, in our case the town actually agreed and approved our application almost 2 years ago. However, there are 2 unhappy individuals with that decision and continue to delay (and I say delay because we will ultimately build our home) the process.

As I sat in the courtroom and listened to the opposition lie while under oath I could feel my anger increasing and most definitely my blood pressure rising. I wanted to understand how 2 people could have so much fight in them for a situation that didn’t deserve a tenth of what’s been going on. It just seems like the punishment is not fitting the crime.

In that moment of wonder, I took notice that I no longer held the faith that this situation is requiring. Is this a test? Is this how God and Universe want to test our resilience? I sat there so confused, so upset, feeling so abandoned.

I have pleaded and cried with source energy more times than I can count. I have begged for this to be over and for God to bring us the finality of this situation. And yet here I sat, with no answers no solution once again.

I released my anger with a long exhale and said Ok, this is now in your hands. However you see this situation playing out is exactly how we will accept it. Maybe we’re being shown how patience leads to fulfillment. Maybe our lesson is timing and
that nothing happens before it’s time. And possibly testing our faith, to show us that having true faith in something bigger than yourself is trusting that it’s all being taken care of even whole your asleep. Releasing the need to control and letting go.

So now we wait... We wait 2 weeks for the judge to deliver her decision. My husband and I both landed on the same page after court yesterday. That in the end we gave this everything we had and if there is a bigger, better plan in store for our family, we will welcome it with an open, loving, faith holding heart. 🏡

I will jump at any opportunity where I can combine my passions.

I had a friend reach out who also happens to be a health coach to ask if I could design thank you gifts for her coaching clients. Ummm yes, yes I can!

I’m not gonna lie, it felt good to design again. And to be designing a gift for others who are also passionate about living a healthy life, well that was the icing on the gluten-free cake 🍰

I dropped coffee as my morning/afternoon/late afternoon go to back in March. It took a few days for the icky headachey feelings to pass but once they did I realized I missed to the sugary sweetener more than the coffee.

At the same time I also eliminated alllll my go-to snacks, which was basically anything in a bag or a box. (Ahem salty potatoe chips)

And then because I don’t do anything small, said good bye to dairy. Ohhh and there goes pizza, nachos, ice cream and basically all my favorite cheeses.

BUT! There’s a silver lining here, I promise. This season of elimination also is a season of discovery. You guys, there are soooo many options to fuel those cravings that are rich with whole organic ingredients.

You’re probably thinking ohh no way could I ever live without XYZ. But if XYZ is causing gut issues, inflammation, sensitivity, headaches you may want to rephrase that thought and say, how would living without XYZ make me feel?

And it doesn’t need to be a go big or go home experiment either. Take it one category at a time and take notice how you feel. Your body is here to serve you in its highest form. It needs to be taken care of properly so you can lead a full and productive life free of dis-ease. If you’ve been considering trying an elimination diet and have questions, please send me a message. I’ve lots of recipes and information to fuel your curiosity!

Design a gift that tells a story. Pay attention to the details. Hand written notes go a long way. Choose items that are aesthetically beautiful. Tuck each item carefully into its box, bag or other vessel. Send it off with love.

This is how you gift from the heart. 🥰

Today will be spent purging and organizing. Donating and selling. The excess is mentally draining. Simplify, reduce & stream line our home life.

However, the Palo Santo and measuring spoons can stay. I’m a sucker for details 🥰 and for anything that promotes good vibes ✌️

Last night as I was falling asleep, my body felt heavy with all the decisions that need to be made in my life. Some left me feeling uneasy and some felt super energizing.

As I started mentally walking through each scenario I felt myself getting restless with worry.

That’s when I knew I had to hand it all over. I prayed for my anxiety to leave along with my worries. I prayed that the universe would work on my behalf to bring forth the result that would benefit us in the highest form, however that may look.

I let go of any expectations. I released all my preconceived thoughts. I handed over my fears and anxiety. It was now out of my hands. I was free to be in the moment and not obsess over how the ending of each scenario will look.

This my friends is what it looks like to have total faith in something larger than yourself. To know you are guided each and every step of the way. To have the freedom from forcing results and allowing what’s meant for you to find you.

This practice is freeing. And it’s one of the ways that has helped me conquer my anxiety and panic over future results. This right here is what gave me my life back. I’m not saying that I don’t ever worry, because there are many times I still do. Instead, now when I notice myself falling back into the obsession of worrying and chaos, I remind myself to hand it over. Pray for the result to be delivered that serves you the best, no matter what that looks like and let it gooooo.

We need to get back to truly living and enjoying the present moment. Before it’s to late and you find yourself looking back at how much time you spent worrying about the future and analyzing the past.

Today, hand it over and let it go.

When life hands you peaches, make a cobbler. Things are shifting and changes are on the horizon. It’s all happening and it’s all soooo good. Keep the faith and believing that the universe is always conspiring on your behalf. And if your feeling like it’s not happening fast enough, sit back relax and enjoy your peach cobbler.

Freeze this moment, right here right now. Watching my son laugh so hard at himself and me right by his side laughing along. Let’s freeze this moment, right here right now so I can always remember how innocent and sweet you are. I’m one grateful momma, who wishes she could freeze this moment, right here right now.

I pray for a better tomorrow for you. That you won’t have to carry the heaviness that I feel right now. A place where you feel safe and protected. A life filled with adventure and an abundance of wisdom. I pray you will have meaningful and peaceful interactions with your peers and that you will grow to be a positive influence within your community. I’m trying real hard to keep you my innocent baby bird but eventually we’re gonna have to let you spread those wings. And when that time comes, I hope you know how amazing I think you are.

“Write it on your heart that everyday is the best day in the year. He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety.

Finish every day and be done with it. You have done why you could. Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in. Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenly, with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense.

This new day is too dear, with its hopes and invitations, to waste a moment on the yesterdays.”

What do you need to hear today? Did you wake up feeling tired? Or well rested? Is every minute of your day planned out or is it open and free to make decisions as you go?

For my friends who are tired and yet have a fully outlined day, you have the energy within you to complete everything you need to with grace and joy. Your filled with gratitude that you’re blessed to have plans and activities to keep you and your family engaged. You feel loved that so many want to spend time with you. And once the day comes to its end, you will rest easily filled with emotions of a happy and complete day.

For my friends who feel rested yet have no agenda, you go through your day with gratitude for the calmness and silence. You are thankful for this down time to complete projects that need attention. You smile knowing this restful day was very much needed.

Different versions of life but the objective is always the same. Whether your tired and stressed or rested and calm the answer is always the same - find the gratitude in your situation. There is always always always something to be grateful for. And here’s a little secret, it’s also the quickest way out of a negative situation. If you find yourself repeating one negative thought after another, in a bad mood or cranky - start reciting alllll the good in your life. Make that mental list of everything to be thankful for and watch how fast your day shifts.

A grateful start brings a grateful heart.

I think I’ve cooked about 10,000 meals in the past 4 weeks. And if I didn’t, it surely feels that way.

I’ve been making every meal from scratch- no dairy, no grains, no soy, no night shades, no sugar, no gluten, no legumes, did I mention no cheese 🥺

I’ve also managed to bake every single day, because having a snack on hand that’s anything besides a carrot is A++++

Today I hit a wall and had strong cravings for coffee with french vanilla cream and pizza and not just any pizza but thick silcian square pizza.

So I threw the kids in the stroller and walked it off. I reminded myself why I’m doing this. Why it’s important to heal my body inside out. Why my kids need a happy and energetic mom. And why a craving fulfilled will only lead to internal disappointment.

Once we were back home the craving was gone, me and the boys got some vitamin d and some exercise. I’m left feeling super proud of myself for how I handled this.

It’s important to remember when your feeling healthy and vibrant, how you got there. It took dedication and commitment. It took saying to no to alllll the things you thought you’ve loved - ahem wine 🍷 It took the courage to look in the mirror and want better for the person looking back at you.

And that’s what I’m giving her.
