how to let go


Welcome back to my blog! 

 In this post I am going to talk about the importance of letting go.  2019 was an amazing year for me and was filled with some of the most joy filled moments I have ever experienced. 2019 was also filled with some difficult situations and struggles that I have had to work through within myself.  The reason I am saying all this is because this blog post has been something I've needed to hear for a while and I hope that it helps you out in some way, like it did for me.  

I found this quote on Pinterest a few days ago and it really sparked my thoughts, so I decided to write about it! I have recently been reading a book called "to hell with the hustle" and in this book, the author discusses our thought patterns and how our thoughts turn into our habits and our habits turn into our everyday reality. So, ultimately if we want to change our everyday reality, we must first start with changing our thoughts. (I highly recommend, if you are looking for a new read!)

I think it is important to find contentment and peace with where you are currently in life. This can be easier said than done because I know that sometimes we are stuck in situations that we have no control over. These situations can be related to our work environment, our family situations, our friendships, or even our relationships. I think in order to find happiness with our life; we have to be willing to let certain things go.

 We all have reasons for why we hold onto situations and the hurt that we feel, when really it's simple: these feelings are heavy and they are weighing us down. Sometimes we need to realize that friendships will change, people will let us down, and life doesn't happen exactly as we planned it. 

 The truth is that we need to get real with ourselves and realize what we need to let go of so we can grow.  If we want blessings, joy, and good things in our life, we need to be available and open to them.  Holding onto pain, prevents you from appreciating the current blessings in your life. 
A huge first step is identifying the things that you need to let go of, the situations that you need to move past, and things that may be weighing you down and figure out how you personally need to work through them. Sometimes this means talking and voicing your feelings to someone that you trust so you can work through an issue. Other times, this means putting up necessary boundaries and walking away from a negative situation that is making you feel less than. Whatever it is, you know what needs to be done.


My personal goal for 2020 is being open to whatever the future holds and focusing on the all blessings and people currently in my life.  God knows what is going to happen in the future and even though we may not always understand the reason behind certain situations, HE does.  You are free to let that situation or person go because there are only better things and bigger blessings coming your way!


I hope that you guys enjoyed this simple post and that it gave you some encouragement!

Follow your Heart

I absolutely love the saying “Follow your heart.” In fact, this quote is in my Instagram bio, as a reminder to myself and to others. Throughout my life, when I’ve had to make difficult decisions, I’ve always come back to this saying. Call it intuition or a gut feeling, but typically in my life my “gut feelings” have always been right. Fear is scary. I mean, it  is fear. It’s an emotion stemming from uncontrollable stress and anxiety. As human beings, we have settled on running away from fear at any cost. But I’m here to tell you that we are not meant to live in fear, but to live along side it. . Does that sound crazy to you? Just hear me out. No matter how much running you do to try to escape your fear, it’ll always be right there behind you. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it’s inevitable. Fear is  a constant. Instead of losing your mind trying to escape the emotion, learning to accept it and live with it will lead to truly overcoming fear. ...

December Favorites

I am so excited about this post because it is all about my current favorite things: fashion, beauty, books, ect.  Basically I am going to be sharing anything that actually made my life 100 times better in the past month. I personally love watching Youtube videos and reading blog posts about other people's favorites of the month, so I am excited to share my own. Fashion Patagonia Coat If you know me well, you know that I absolutely hate wearing coats. I just find them too bulky and most of the coats that I've tried are too short on me so whatever outfit I'm wearing peeks out from underneath and just does not look flattering. I tried on this coat when I was Christmas shopping with my mom and fell in love! It is the perfect thickness and is long enough to cover your whole body. I personally think it is super cute and neutral so it looks good with anything that you wear. Skin Care Green face wash I have tried so many c...

We Built Our First Home!! ♡

Hi everyone! Welcome back to my blog. It still feels so surreal to say Devin and I built our first home. WOW. In todays post I wanted to share a little bit about our building process and lessons we learned after building our house. Starting from the beginning, Devin and I originally looked around at houses we’d be interested in buying. All of the options near where we wanted to live were either way our of our price range, or way too much of a fixer upper than we were looking for.  We started to realize that finding a house was going to be harder than we anticipated.   Maybe we were being too picky, but we knew we both wanted to find someplace that we could see ourselves in for many years to come. We randomly found a lot for sale that was perfectly on the side of town we wanted to live, and we loved the homey feel of the neighborhood. We decided to go for it and signed the papers. One reason we felt good about building over buying was that we’d get to desi...
