Family Visits

My sister in law and 10 month old niece just got home from Germany less than an hour ago. It’s almost 1am and having them home and meeting the baby for the first time is just remarkable.

She’s so vibrant, full of joy and unlike most babies who cry when meeting strangers she met us without crying. All smiles and excitement. I’m excited to see how much she grows in the month that she’ll be here.

We are blessed to have a little one who reminds us that family is love. Unity brings peace. Although she’s the small human who needs us to survive we all needed her here also.

One Month

Today according to social media is 6 years since my husband and I have been friends. But this friendsversary was even more special because we also celebrated one month of marriage today. Married life has been great. I feel safe knowing that I have my life partner.

In giving thanks for what I have I can’t help but think about those who long for companionship but don’t have the same luxury that my husband and I have. Wishing everyone longing for their person nothing but love and clarity while your person makes their way to you.

2022

It’s a new year which means more opportunities for growth and change. Although 2021 was just as turbulent as 2020 a lot of good things happened for me and I hope that’s the same for you. If not, let’s aim to make this year your year as well.

On December 11th I married my best friend. We had an intimate ceremony and I’ve just been on cloud 9 ever since. I feel such relief knowing that I’ve found my life partner and we managed to make it official which just opens so many doors for us and our future. I find that I’ve become more motivated since the wedding. Once upon a time having an actual wedding seemed so far out of reach so getting to experience the day and all the events leading up to that just makes me feel like we can achieve anything we set our minds to even if we just have three months to plan and execute the mission.

The stress I felt planning a wedding in such short amount of time was unlike anything else I’ve felt before but overcoming that just proves that as humans we are so much more resilient than we may think. Through all the planning I leaned on my ability to set boundaries and not overexert myself. When I felt I had given my all I was able to clearly state that and take care of myself and that’s something that I’m proud of because there was a time when I didn’t have the courage to set boundaries and take care of myself above all.

After the wedding was over I turned my brain off so much so that I forgot my luggage for our honeymoon. It literally had not crossed my mind once that we set out on our road trip without any clothes until we got to our destination which will be a great story to tell someday. The car ride was filled with laughter, relief and love. It almost felt like we were driving into our future and nothing we were leaving behind mattered which at the end of the day clothes truly didn’t 😉

Praying that this year is filled with so much adventure, bold opportunities, health and love for everyone.
