Virtual Zen

Big, Beautiful, and FLUFFY…or at least that’s what I keep telling myself 😂

We officially light weight waddled our way into the third trimester this week and with less than 90 days to go, mama is feelin all.the.things!

Current prego realities include ⬇️

👉🏾 old sweatshirts now becoming crop toppy. Sexy I know 😉

👉🏾 acceptance of hard truths; like sleepless nights being here to stay…I’m convinced anyone who says “get all the rest you can before baby comes” has never been pregnant or was chomping on Tylenol PM like tic-tacs while in it.

👉🏾 relinquishing some of my highly coveted independent lady status as it now takes two to tackle getting shoes on over these lil brown sausages I used to call feet 🌭

👉🏾 being out of breath even after zero exertion. A gift truly.

👉🏾 maneuvering the ups and down of losing love for your body whilst also remembering with each baby kick, the out-of-this-world magic happening on the inside ♥️

All in all, we’re healthy, happy, and ready to slowlllyyyy salsa our way through the next 12 weeks 💃🏽

Pss. Im on the hunt for the best baby journals or picture with prompt notebooks/albums to save some special moments in. Found one you love?? Drop it below for me pretty please 😘

If you would have told me THIS a year ago, I’d likely have laughed and moved on...

This month; 365 days prior, I sat around a large oak table with 9 brilliant, ambitious women longingly looking at the desert hills🌵joking about my need to saturate my brown body with sunshine before heading back to the Ohio winter chill.

We talked dreams and life and when I was asked what I envisioned, it was to to call this palm swaying place home. I of course prefaced with this being a *pipeline plan.

Immediately they asked me WHY? I was baffled! Em, money, mortgages, moving across the county...it just wasn’t plausible. They encouraged me to dream bigger, because to them, it sure as hell was.

Tomorrow we head back to Ohio after spending the last month in Arizona. You’ll notice I didn’t input back*home, because truthfully OH doesn’t feel like home anymore.

Our hearts 🤍and plan to relocate are pumping full steam ahead as we prepare to be official residents by year end.

Takeaway uno: Surround yourself with dreamers and doers who love and push you to unveil the endless possibilities that life has to offer. Never.ever let them go!

Takeaway dos: Stop making excuses and just f*ing do the damn thing.

What’s ☝🏾 dream that’s become or ( is becoming ) a reality for you? Let’s drop it in the universe and fuel it forward together!!
