Growing Together in Spring 2020





Found this just laying on the bathroom floor at church.

 So out of place- yet there.

3 Quick Make Up Touch ups when you're running late

Quick stop at Target from work to an event.

1. Elf Eyeliner Pen. $3.00
Adding black eyeliner over eyelashes adds a little pick me up!
2. Elf Matte Lip Color $4.00
I elected   the color praline because it reminded me of ice cream.
3. Green Tea Frappucini with an add shot, with a hint of whipped cream and caramel drizzle.

I feel better already.

Dating My Self Day One

Dating Myself Day One


Dating Myself Day One
Ok, today on this Day One of 100 I decide to take myself to lunch. I didnt want to appear as a cheap date so I splurged on a 3 mini taco combination with a beverage. Yup, went all out out! I even walked on this special occasion yet got stressed out over the stop lights only giving 5 seconds to gallop through the crosswalk like an fancy throughbred of a distinguished pedigree. Why does it feel like everyone is staring at you while your speed walking through the intersection? I wore my fancy new shoes on this special date. Overall had a nice time. I wanted dessert but didnt want to appear too hungry on the first date. Didn't want my date thinking I was always hungry. Or how I am always thinking of food.  I'm definitely not I'll just have a salad or a sliver of kale girl. I'm more of a meat and potatoes and carnitas girl. 🤷‍♀️

With all the said, dating yourself is seeing yourself the way others see you. Positive word affirmations . Knowing and feeling something sweet and good about yourself. I accepted the  assignment by Jill Oncall , well the challenge because it's hard to see yourself through the eyes of friends and loved ones.
My positives  thoughts today on this first date with myself is:
I have tiny feet , size 5 and they look cute in shoes . My friends tell me that all the time.
Let's see, wow this is harder than I thought.
I have good table manners in a social setting.
There you have it. I'm sure this will get easier as the weeks go by. My head goes with the whole prideful thing. It's a conditioning thing,right? Easier to compliment others than ourselves. I think we all need to work on this!

Finding Peace


Tell me what best describes you finding peace. Having peace?


What about being intentional ? How does that fit into your daily ritual? Your routine?
