dreams
on that Beyonce hustle: believing in my dreams and working hard to make them a reality. and every step of the way remembering to be humble and full of gratitude.

new home
we’ve finally moved and settled into our new home. it’s a cute, homey (however you spell that) and spacious. and most importantly, we both like it. slowly but surely California is becoming our new home. visiting the beach this afternoon has made the move that much more exciting.
and it’s mother’s day today…next year I too will be a mother. looking forward to it:)

future
after giving birth to this baby I plan to take a week long holiday in France. I know that’s not the conventional way of doing things. To be fair, I am willing to wait until the baby is about a year old before putting him or her through the rigours of traveling. But by golly I think every woman that’s ever been pregnant deserves a holiday to their chosen destination. So that’s...
only good
am on a quest to surround myself with only that which is good. love, laughter, passion, ambition, joy…only that which is lovely is allowed to stay.

11:52pm
that’s what time my husband and I get home from work every night. being newlyweds and trying to build a home means that you’ve got to put in the work to make the dreams come true. and this new time schedule also allows us to be more grateful for the time we do get to spend together. and in turn being grateful allows us to be more focused on the good in our lives.
now 11:52pm...
Finding calm
although this day is starting in a seemingly chaotic manner, one needs to take a moment of calm and regroup. this is where faith needs to take over fear. as I try to juggle the items on the to-do list, i start to realize the importance of prayer and meditation. and doing your best knowing that God will take care of the rest.
ps: i’m glad to have followed the spiritual prompting to start...

this above is so true and if you’re a skeptic, just give it a shot and revert back.

focus

seek the good
I’ve recently had the privilege of attending a wonderful women’s conference held by Time Out in Long Beach. This was a two day spiritual upliftment for women living in South California. We were treated to hours of life information that is designed to assist us in being better in our everyday lives. Below are some notes I managed to scribble amidst the positivity high:
emotions aren’t good or bad...
beliefs
empowering:
i’m a hard worker, motivated, creative, caring, real, introspective, kind
dis empowering:
not creative enough, shy, scared to fail, indecisive
what do i have to believe instead:
failure creates opportunities for growth, by doing you learn

joy
the pleasure of taking action…

growing
another reason i started this blog was to figure out stuff about myself. at 25 one would imagine that i should know who i am. i know parts of myself. or rather i should say, i understand certain aspects of my personality. but lately i’ve started being brutally honest and admitting that there are many things about me that i don’t know. i have desires, thoughts and ideas that have lead...

hello
“you will manifest the life that you believe”
i heard this yesterday and it made me want to start a vision board. since i don’t see myself as the crafty type, i’ve decided to instead use this space to dream and be inspired.
