New Year...New Memories

Today we read all our 2020 memories that we filled our vase with. Even though Covid was a tough and rough ride it was still nice to look back on the little things that made us happy. 

We restart the vase today for 2021.New Year. New memories.

I must say it really is a simple yet beautiful thing to do. We all took turns picking a paper out of the vase and reading it. 

We started our new 2021 vase and already had some things to add to it. 

I hope 2021 brings you happiness...big and small.

Love Isn’t Hard Loving The Wrong Person Is

I was hesitant about sharing my relationship so openly. It had a lot to do with the fact that times I was in love it fell apart. Out of my control. Nothing I could have done to change the outcome. 

So when I met him I honestly didn’t think it would turn into anything. But then I noticed he was different than the rest. He was emotionally mature. Didn’t carry any emotional baggage. Has a stable parenting relationship with his ex. He’s intelligent. Has a reputable type of job. As I started to learn the real him I started to fall hard. 

When you open yourself up a flood gate of insecurities and doubt and past pain comes rushing at you. I had a hard time adjusting but I knew I had to change or this relationship wouldn’t work. At times I almost walked away due to fear. Fear of opening my heart and risking getting hurt. 

But he always made it all see seem so easy. He was always so calm and understanding and supportive. Then we started to take our relationship to the next level. We created a routine. We met each others families and kids and we are now in a position to truly accept eachother for 100% who they are. 

Will it be forever? No one knows or can say. Will I continue to enjoy  our “perfect relationship”without the fear of the end result. Yes. Because it’s perfect for us. For what we need and for who we are. It works for us.  

It taught me I can be happy in it or out because I am happy with myself. For facing those flood gates of past pain and emotions and saying it’s ok. This is different this time. You handled that you can handle anything. 

Love isn’t hard. Loving the wrong person is so freaking hard. Know the difference! Allow yourself to love the right one.

Change Your Perception

I read an article on New Years Resolutions here  It mentioned that the Chinese symbol for crisis is also the symbol for opportunity. 

It made me think how when you change your perception on something you actually view things in a different light. 

2020 wasn’t good. So many people lost their lives. Jobs. Careers. Companies. Homes. Health suffered. Careers suffered. Relationships suffered. 

It’s hard to think looking at their situation turned into something good. I get it. 

But we can look at these tragic situations as lessons to us. The people on the outside looking in. It made us be grateful for what we have. Value relationships and friendships. Appreciate the little things. 

You have to believe all things happen to some how teach us. If not us then those around us 

Be A Great Parent...Always

I can’t provide my kids a big home yet or fancy vacation yet but I will tell you I am there for them 24-7 and well that alone is greater than anything money can buy.

They never doubt their love or comfort or needs. I am always there for them no matter what. They have changed so much lately. They see my unconditional love for them and all three keep thanking me for always being there for them. 

My oldest hugs me 100 x a day. My middle one would love to be by my side all day everyday. My youngest keeps kisses me up just because. 

I never make them feel like they are too much. As a single parent working and homeschooling and having the kids all day everyday can be a lot. I have grown into embracing the role because the reward is amazing. 

When my girls walk in my door I see a level of comfort and safety and love in them that I provide. It’s easy. Parents it’s easy to be a good parent. Not sure why some struggle with it. 

Your job is to provide a safe easy non stressful atmosphere for your kids. At all times. To be attentive. 

When they are at their dad’s or grandparents or anywhere but with me I assure them I always one call away no matter what. It’s not because I don’t trust where they are I do it because they need to know I am there for them no matter when and whenever and wherever. I need to provide a safe place at all times to them. Their lives have changed so much that by me providing stability and comfort it assures them that their needs are being met at all times no matter where they are. 

Everyone needs that person they feel safe and protected with. If you can be that person then you have helped add security to someone’s life. 

Be More

It’s not about what you have. It’s who you are. 

Be Confident In Who You Are

How do you feel about yourself? Really think about it. 

How do you view yourself physically and mentally?

We have all spent some alone time during 2020. We had less distractions and had to face our truths. Our fears. Our insecurities. 

We had to reflect on our past and present. Where we have come from. Where we are going. What matters in life. What doesn’t. Who we want along our journey. Who we are willing to let go of. 

What did you learn about yourself? 

I learned when you’re confident in yourself. Meaning you accept yourself. Your flaws. Your strengths. When you truly accept yourself you are ok with any situation.  Because you build confidence in yourself. You trust yourself. You can handle anything because you know you’re strong enough to handle it. 

Have you reached this stage in your life? If you haven’t please do. 

We all need improvement. We all have to work on ourselves always but when you accept yourself you don’t project your insecurities on to others. You can have healthy relationships. You can be empathetic to others. You can process before you react. 

It’s magical. I have reached this stage. I am not perfect but I accept my flaws. I know my triggers and insecurities and they are mine alone. I don’t blame anyone for them. I can have a healthy relationship with my boyfriend because I am happy with who I am. 

Do you accept who you are?

Let Go Of Your Insecurities

If you want to be fully happy then you have to have a secure relationship attachment style. Not the type where you’re depending on anyone for anything but where you’re secure enough to be happy in the relationship as well as happy out of it.

Oatmeal Kick

Whenever we go to a breakfast buffet for brunch I always did this. It’s been a while so I decided to make it myself in the morning.  Plain Oatmeal with plain Greek yogurt and honey. I just recently added blueberries. It’s delicious and super filing with high protein and vitamins to kick off the day. 

I love the contrast of warm oatmeal against the cold yogurt.

I had a friend who always ate breakfast every morning. I never understood it until I started to do it. It’s a comfort food that has health benefits and is always filing. 

How do you take your oatmeal?

Waking Up To Fresh Crespelle

My parents grew up in two different towns in Italy. This morning I woke up to them making crespelle from their different towns. It’s a New Years tradition. 

The crespelle from my dad’s town is simple. You add bay leaves to add flavors. My mom’s town is rolled in sugar with orange and lemon zest on them. 

What traditions do your families do for New Years?

Today’s Affirmation

Don’t Let Love Fool You

We all do this at times. When you’re in situations it’s not as noticeable until you’re out of it. When you see the truth from the outside you feel like a fool. I get it. I did it. I held on to some people for no apparent reason. Until I started seeing the truth and then realized wow I never want to be with someone like that anyway or ever again. 

You can love someone and still see their truth. Staying means accepting. Remember that. You staying means you’re accepting their truth and well you can’t hold that against them. You leaving is you saying nope. I won’t stand for it.
