“Damn near 30”

-
One of many inside jokes between me and my best friend during our birthday every year “wheewww chile damn near 30 and pushing 45” LOL. We’ve been saying that since we were 20. 

Months before my birthday I kept saying “I’m really almost 26, am I where I should be in life”. And then I go on to think about those my age or younger who have accomplished more and are killing it in every aspect of life - or so it seems. Never do I ever get upset at them, I’m proud, but then I get upset with myself because I feel like a wreck most days. Not finishing what I start, leaving jobs left and right, leaving school for the third time, ending business ideas before I even start, and a nonexistent dating life lol. Don’t get me wrong, I’m proud of where I’ve come from, and never see my growth as mediocre, but I’m constantly thinking “more should be happening in life right now”. 


I’m a true believer in “we meet people for a reason” and right on time. The last two days I had three women come to my job, and I of course spark conversation about my birthday coming up or how life is oh so crazy. All 3 of them, all pass 30 said the same thing, that their mid and late  20’s were so confusing and hectic, and that they felt they should have everything together. Although everyone’s path in life is different, we all have different trials, but yet we all deal with similar concerns about life and if we’re doing it right. Life is like a huge classroom and every experience is a new lesson. Some lessons we repeat because we failed the “test”, so if you’re running into the same situation over and over, it’s because you haven’t learned just yet. 



You’re not a failure unless you give up, every time you keep pushing, you’re stepping back into that classroom, and you’re never too old to sit in a classroom.

Your journey is yours

The best way to get to a peaceful, easy, care free, , money filled life is to simply.......... Wait, there is no specific way. The closest we’ll get to the “right path to began our journey” is by following like minded people, but even still, their obstacles are not your obstacles. Another persons journey is just that, another persons. Now of course we can take notes of what another is doing, why reinvent the wheel and go through more troubles than the inevitable? The unfortunate part of following ones lead to your own journey is that, you may not agree on all things or they may be on a level that you actually aren’t ready for, or it simply isn’t for you. I’ll give an example, my focus is on self healing, veganism, and evolvement. I have two home girls who are on a totally different level than I am, from the veganism to the spirituality. There were times where I would beat myself up for not being able to- or being too lazy- cook such extravagant meals. I would also get upset that I ...

Protecting yourself from FRIENDS

-
A few months ago I wrote a blog about “setting the tone for your life”. I spoke on how we have to create boundaries around the energy people bring forth. A few days ago while speaking to a friend of mine, I finally spoke up about why I exited a group chat, I felt so relieved that she was so understanding. That discussion also sparked more conversation and motivated her even more to change. When bringing something like that to the table, you have to make sure that that person is ready to not only listen but are able to understand what you’re expressing, at least that’s how I do it. Although I am very big on accountability and keeping it real, I am also an empath and dislike hurting peoples feelings, so I tread lightly - unless you need Toughlove and brutal honesty. Now this may or may not work on most people.  So many people have a difficult time with taking accountability for the issues they face, so telling someone they are full of negative energy can end a friendship.

Raw Vegan (Day 3)

-
So because I didn’t prep, I didn’t make anything new, I threw a salad together.   Breakfast included infused water again with cucumbers, strawberries and lime juice.  Lunch consisted of salad with cucumbers, strawberries, avocado, tortilla chips, and balsamic dressing, my favorite combination. For dinner I simply drank a green smoothie. Tonight I actually prepped, not only that but I did it on IG live for the first time.  This entry is really short and I’m am very tired after two hours of prepping. See you tomorrow for day four!
