A Broken Heart

Image
Have you ever wondered what it is like to see a broken heart? I unfortunately have. The number of times in my life that I have experienced struggle, loss, hardships, there is not a number. This photo featured was from a moment in my life, the calm before the storm. I can only hope this is the last time I have to experience this terrible heartbreak. 

Being genuinely myself.

Image
Today, sharing photos each day through the month of Pride. Being genuine and showing love to myself. 😊🌈❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💗

Thoughts on my mind.

Image
A day of errands and a day of thoughts. Took this quick picture yesterday and have had a lot on my heart the past several years. A new blog will be upcoming, until then, I’m here and still going forward. 

Pride and Kansas City (June 3rd)

Image
This past weekend was time with family and Kansas City. I’ve been enjoying time with my kiddo, and cherishing moments with family.  Even though life is unexpected and messy, I’m doing my best to move forward and keep staying as active as possible. I want to keep going for my kid, he means the world to me. 

Wonderful Concert (May 25th)

Image
  Wonderful concert last night with my aunt, at the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts , and watched the Kansas City Symphony. Fantastic performance! Afterwards we went to the Jerusalem Cafe for a bite to eat and shared a combo platter appetizer, it was so delicious that I’m still fondly remembering it. Cherished memories that I hope I remember forever.

You Are LOVED (June 1st)

Image
  When First United Methodist Church Blue Springs gave these to the kiddos at the beginning of their school year, I was reassured that we were at the place we were meant to be. I still feel that and thankful for the community, friendships, support, spiritual guidance, joy, love, encouragement, and peace; attending this church has brought us. Happy Pride Month, dear friends, family, and those I’ve not met! May this be a gentle, joyful month for you, and that you feel you can celebrate your unique and beautiful individuality. (Photo featuring a backpack tag that has rainbow colors, that to me, represents pride; and it says “you are loved” in all caps.)

Afternoon Thoughts

 I have had many thoughts as of late and wanted to write them down. I have also decided to work on my creative writing, so I will do some of that here too.  Today was a day full of sunshine and activities. I am grateful that I was able to be there for my kid for Field Day, even though I only saw him in passing.  One more day of school and then summer vacation. Hopefully a nice summer filled with some wonderful memories.

  I did a thing. Featuring a view of my new haircut with the multi colors of reds and golden blonde. Think I’ll have some fun this summer.

May 19th, Where is my journey taking me..?

Image
  I have no idea where this journey is taking me, however I know I’m not walking it alone. Knowing that I have support helps bring me comfort and peace.

May 18th, Life keeps you on your toes, not worrying about the little things..

Image
  Do you ever find it interesting how life keeps you on your toes? Here we all are, traveling down this road together, page after page of new chapters; yet all having our own individual experiences. Making memories, hopefully growing and learning as we gain wisdom. I’m grateful that my mind woke up a few months ago, and find it fascinating that now that I am more “in tune” or have a sense of wakefulness, that I notice how much more quickly time is passing by. Taking advantage of what I can achieve while I have the time to do so. We never know when our last moment will be. I decided months ago that I’m not going to worry about all the little things anymore, that I will make the most of everything and live!! Best decision I’ve made in some time.
