I’m still here! I got hit with the flu and it leveled me hard. I spent the last 5 days in bed but I’m finally starting to turn the corner. I made this drawing a few weeks ago and I thought it was perfect for tonight, (plus I’m too tired to create today!)🤒
.
It’s ok to rest. It’s also ok to sleep and checkout and not worry about work or pretty much anything but getting well. It’s ok to do nothing but take care of yourself. And it’s ok to let someone else take care of you.💙
.
That last one is the hardest sometimes isn’t it? I’m so grateful my husband was home and could help me with meals and drugs and when I passed out. (It was scary!😬) Back to work tomorrow and I’m actually looking forward to it!😂
.
How is 2020 going for YOU so far? It did not start as I was hoping but I’m still optimistic that it will be a great year.👍

It’s day 4 or 5 of the new year and I’ve already had to take a moment. I got sick, we might be on the brink of war...not exactly how I thought 2020 was going to start.😕
.
One of my goals for the new year is to focus on my health and keep my house and life more organized. It’s been a hard few days but you know what? I’m doing it!👍
.
The phrase, “trust the process,” kept going through my head. If I just keep eating well and vacuuming I will reach my goals.🥦
.
Well, forget that. I don’t need to trust the process. I need to trust MYSELF. If I don’t trust myself I’ll never make it.😬
.
Life is good, life is hard, life is uncertain. But you’ve got you. Don’t ever forget that.😘

This is your reminder to keep dreaming and dreaming big. Anything is possible if you dare to dream so keep your head in those clouds.💙
.
I’m a little under the weather today so this is my way of staying positive and continuing to dream...from under my blanket on my couch.😂

New year. More you.💙
.
I remember this sentiment from last year and I love it. Keep doing what you’re doing. Keep being you. Honor and trust the amazing person that you already are. You don’t need a new you. You just need MORE you.
.
I couldn’t decide which drawing I liked best so you get them all.😂
.
Happy 2020!🎉

What. A. Decade. Whew.☺️
.
When I think about where I was 10 years ago it feels like a different life. It WAS a different life. I probably spent NYE 2009 alone in my apartment with a bottle of wine, watching TV, and crying. I was going through a break-up and getting ready to move across the country. I was sad, alone, and scared. I’m thankful I’m not in that place anymore but I’m also thankful for the years that bent me, shaped me, and didn’t break me. I am stronger because of them.💙
.
The past 10 years were filled with change and heartbreak, joyous moments of celebration and devastating goodbyes. I got married, bought a house, and said goodbye to all of my grandparents. When I think about what the next decade might bring, I feel humbled that I get🤞to be one small part of it.
.
Here I am, forever changed by the past ten years, shaped and strengthened by everything they gave to me, and ready for what comes next. I wish you great joy and the BEST of everything as we begin a new year and a new decade together.😘
.
Cheers to you. Cheers to us.🥂
