Lost Livelihood….

Surmounting fear.

Why me?

How could this be?

I don’t want to start over.

I’m afraid.

Lately tons of relentless thoughts are burning through our minds like wildfires. Just a month ago we all were employed and everything seemed to be going good. This was supposed to be our year of change we thought. For many savings, fitness, career and personal needs were goals we set as resolutions this past New Years. Now suddenly living check to check, working from home, furloughs and unemployment have become our new norm.

How are we supposed to bounce back from this? Will we now be in the running with the millions for a job single posting? What if I don’t have the strength to start over?

All of our feelings are very valid.

Many of us have endured an unlimited amount of obstacles for decades through life. How many times have we felt there was no coming back from a previous setback, and we did. In actuality that come back was even better than ever anticipated. In situations like these we somehow become vulnerable, allowing time for self reflection. Yes this will be an up hill battle, but in time things will be ok for our situations. Why? Because we have continued the fight for stability for every single thing that’s present in our lives. We have not allowed ourselves to stay defeated. Our motivations and passions were a driving force that kept excelling us forward in our past. That hasn’t changed. In time, we will continue working towards our goals again. We are valuable with priceless contributions to offer to our careers and life.

Do not doubt yourself, strengths or worth. Our endurance is an unstoppable force. We will over come this.

I believe in you, believe in you❤️❤️❤️

Fathers,Husbands,Sons…

It’s so amazing these days to see such incredible family bonds. I have witnessed so many fathers, sons and husbands contributing so much of their time, energy and emotional support to their wives girlfriends, families and children during these hard times. From supermarkets, stroller pushing, gardening with their children and so much more. They have shown nothing but strength and resilience. I can imagine every house holds worries during the crisis, but Instead of exhibiting weakness they are presenting their families with nothing more than strength. They are our inspirations.

Thank you so much, Fathers, Husbands and Sons for your strength.

LATE NIGHT WALKS…

Last night I decided to take a walk and catch a whiff of the cool breeze the night had to offer. My shadow looming as always, seemingly one step ahead of my thoughts. I began closing my eyes inhaling deep breaths in hopes for smoother days to come. The nights sky was crisp with clouds generously illuminating from the moon’s reflection so perfectly. I thought to myself, how can this be? Am I really a-part of this huge universe or is this a dream I can’t seem to awaken from? Life’s realities at times can feel surreal and become very overwhelming. As I continued to walk, I couldn’t help but notice many well manicured lawns and the smell of mulch surrounding each property. It wasn’t until then did I realize nature plays a huge contribution to our lives in such a positive way. I personally enjoy landscaping photography as a hobby because of its effortless beauty each shot seemingly captures. Nature I feel can be aesthetically pleasing, stimulating and naturally encourages inspiration that everyone can connect with it on some level. I can see why many choose to vacation in the most scenic settings for relaxation and can appreciate down time in the park with a good book. I admire how we unknowingly and quietly participate in natures transitions and rebirths. As each season nears its end, trees and plants are constantly shedding their pasts. Their leaves and pedals will slowly begin falling in preparation for a chance at blossoming, reconnecting and starting with a new beginning next season. Our failures, growth and abilities to blossom resembles nature. Every day we make the decision to pick ourselves up when feeling down we will be given the chance to reconnect and start with a new beginning.

Resilience is in all of us.

THE NOW 😷

I can remember a few months back hoping in my car heading down the highway, cracking the window and letting my mind circulate my normal to-do list. Today like many we find ourselves on this huge never ending roller coaster of emotions. Our lives have become this long winding road of fear, uncertainty, struggle, sadness and confusion. We watch and read what we can handle on social media, and we differ on so many levels about specific topics. Our jobs and finances may have changed, and yet we tend to smile back through our monitors in our new home offices, while attending hour long Zoom meetings to make others happy. We make sure to keep our moral boosted for our bosses in hopes to always feeling essential because we know deep down our lifestyles can’t handle another penny less. How in this day is it possible to stay positive? Staying positive is the only way. Our families and jobs depend on our strength in keeping everything tied together. Times like these we have to keep looking towards the future knowing that when things have settled, we will breathe again, laugh together, eat together, unite with our religious beliefs as one and pack school lunches with smiley faces for our children once again. Those thoughts give us hope. Our future selves depend on us making it through today. Please stay strong, grounded and take things one day at a time, we will get through this…..❤️ hope.

By choice or …… ✨✨

For those of us who have been in committed relationships or even those in new ones, we can sometimes feel our partners’ willingness to commit is not a choice but more of an obligation based off the amount of time each partner has vested into the relationship. It’s really important despite the length of time with a person, understanding commitment given to one another is voluntary no matter how much love is involved. We should be thankful for each day with our partner, thankful at the end of our long days we share a common goal of finding our way back to one another. In life finding someone who wants to be present and contributes towards an amazing future is extremely difficult to find. Take each moment in and embrace your love, your partner. Those who are still seeking companionship, just know your soul mate is looking for you as well☺️ and your paths will cross❤️ stay strong, stay connected.
