What are you grateful for today?

View this post on Instagram

Life is what you make of it and it all starts with your attitude and mindset. Start each day in reflection and gratitude of the many blessings in your life. Deflect the negativity of the outside world and the thoughts that may enter your mind immediately when you wake up. Get excited about whatever presents itself to you and have optimism and acceptance that no matter what happens you can handle it and your current circumstance is only temporary and not a life sentence. Always be open to learning and growing and believing that you will only get stronger and wiser from everything that happens for you. Slow down, take 5 deep breathes, don't react, feel the emotions and focus on the present with gratitude.

Take that first step

View this post on Instagram

Take that first step today and face your fear of the unknown. What's on the other side of fear is possibility and growth. The only way to achieve your potential is to challenge yourself. No more excuses. I've done this in all areas of my life the past 16 months and now I'm moving to a new city to start a new job and life. Was I fearful of what might not workout or what might happen? Absolutely, but I've decided to live my life on purpose and do not want to be old and grey with regrets. We only get one opportunity to take action and I choose action and am prepared to accept what happens as my journey with optimism and excitement. I challenge you today to step into the uncomfortable unknown fear and take a chance on yourself. I promise you won't regret it.

We are all doing the best we can

View this post on Instagram

Once you understand and accept that everyone is doing the best they can with who they have been conditioned to be and the tools they've been provided, what others say or do will affect you less. You choose to allow your ego to react to another persons actions and by choosing not to react or speaking your truth and setting loving boundaries, you learn to be more empathetic and authentic. Respect yourself first and others will in most cases respect you in return. Never accept being mistreated, but simply remove yourself from that person or situation. Understand that everyone has not healed their traumas and are projecting those hurts onto anyone in their path. Be an example of how others should treat each other and always speak your truth. Those that are meant to be in your life will remain and those who are not should be allowed to move on. Detach yourself from all people, places and things in order to allow life to flow naturally. You will be more accepting that life happens for you in order to help you grow into the greatest version of yourself.

16 months sober

View this post on Instagram

My sobriety has been such a blessing and I'm beyond grateful for those who have been supporting me this last 16 months. I'd like to give a shout out to my family and friends who have been by my side to listen and support me any way I needed. Sobriety begins with deciding to live your life on purpose and to stop medicating your anxiety, fear and traumas with drugs and alcohol. Having a support system is a must and there are AA groups across the world that meet daily. Accepting your past mistakes takes courage but a necessary step in the process. Learning to live in the present moment will keep you grounded and focused on giving your energy to what's right in front of you. You will learn to release your traumas and start healing and discover emotions you never knew existed inside of you. The road to recovery is extremely difficult but anyone is capable with the right mindset, support system and breaking down your recovery into bite size steps. Your life will forever be changed once you decide to take the first step and admit you are powerless to the drugs or alcohol. The rest is up to you, the universe or higher power and your daily disciplined commitment to becoming the greatest sober version of you. Life truly is better sober. If you need support, guidance or someone to simply listen, send me a DM and let's start the conversation which could lead you on your own journey to becoming the greatest version of you!

Be honest with yourself

Universal Law of Karma

View this post on Instagram

Daily Meditation has taught me to connect with my truest self by sitting with my thoughts but not reacting. As I observe my thoughts and the triggers that arise, I'm learning to control my response and release the emotions associated with those thoughts. By addressing each trigger, I'm releasing the energetic chords holding me trapped in the past and I'm aligning with my truest self. My mindset is refreshed, my heart is reopening from the trauma and my body is in tune functioning at its optimal level. This is not easy work, but it's necessary in order to heal, learn, grow and become the greatest version of myself. I challenge you to face your hurts and traumas and start right now releasing and forgiving yourself and those who have hurt you.

Look within and start healing

View this post on Instagram

This speaks to the most inner depths of my soul. We must look within and face our shortcomings and unhealed traumas in order to love ourselves first. When we are ready to receive the love intended for us, we will then have the understanding of how to truly love another. We may choose to enter into relationships that only meet our external needs and satisfy our ego, of which will attempt to teach us a lesson of what is still in need of healing. Once we accept the truth and put in the daily work, we will be on the road to healing and becoming the greatest version of ourselves. Finally, with an open and empathetic heart, an optimistic mindset while speaking our truth and honoring boundaries, will we connect with a soul that has done the healing work and compliments our own lives. I challenge you to slow down, stop forcing, look within through meditation and journaling and face your triggers one by one. Get to the root cause and flush out the pain. It won't be easy and will be a roller coaster of emotions, but you will get off the ride refreshed and renewed ready to take your life to the next level. If you need support, guidance or someone to simply listen, send me a DM and let's start the conversation which could lead you on your own journey to becoming the greatest version of you!

Be your true authentic self

View this post on Instagram

Accepting myself for who I am has been a struggle my entire life. I'm naturally a people pleaser and caretaker. I traditionally avoid confrontation and prefer peace. This is in my DNA and makes me who I am. I've learned to embrace these traits, however, I've also learned to set boundaries to protect myself and others. I no longer allow others to manipulate me or bully me. I speak my truth and remove people from my life who no longer support me in a loving way. I accept constructive criticism and understand the difference from verbal abuse. We are all capable of growing into a better version of ourselves if we get honest about who we are and what we need to work on. This is the work I've been doing daily since July of 2019 and I'm blown away how much I've learned and grown as a human. It's a long, hard, emotional and some days painful journey that is so worth it if you are willing to stay the course. I challenge you to start right now and commit to doing the daily disciplined work to becoming the greatest version of you.

New city and new job

View this post on Instagram

It's time to start the next chapter of my life and I'm excited to announce I've accepted a Director position with the San Antonio Food Bank with a start date of May 11th. I'm sad to leave DFW, my family, and my many friends, but looking forward to new adventures serving 16 Southwest counties of Texas. This was not an easy decision, but it was the right one that will challenge me to step out of my comfort zone, grow personally and professionally, and create the opportunity to spread the message of love, empathy, and compassion across the southern part of the state.

Stay in your power

This is easier said than done and can be learned as you discover your inner strength while becomming grounded in your beliefs of who you are while speaking your truth. Always remember to not take what they say too personal even if it's directed towards you. Offer an empathetic ear while maintaining healthy boundaries and self-respect. Listen with intent while creating a safe space of non judgment and trust. Simply be supportive and loving. If their energy becomes too negative or toxic, communicate openly and honestly and remove yourself from them. Your mental health should always take precedent. Circle back to check in on them from a distance and offer additional encouragement or advice to help them handle the situation or to simply be an ear to listen. Professional therapy might be the best solution to help them work through the much needed healing.
