When The Seasons Change

October 22, 2018October 22, 2018Leave a comment

Anywhere you look in my bedroom, you're bound to find sunflowers. There's a vase by my television, a bunch next to the mirror on my dresser, and a large metal-crafted flower by my door. Hell, I even have a sunflower tattooed on my shoulder. Sunflowers have played an important role in my life for as … Continue reading When The Seasons Change

Unfortunately, only 2/3 siblings made it due to passport issues, but nonetheless, it was still an amazing experience for me and now I can’t wait to share it with you in this 3-part blog series. These three … Continue reading Experience CDMX: Part 2

“I appreciate you more because of the road I’ve traveled. My story brought me to you, and I wouldn’t revise a word of my past if it led me anywhere but to your door.” . . . A little #flashbackfriday & appreciation post. This is the love of my life. For more than half my life, this man has been my best friend. He’s seen me at my lowest of lows and shared in my highest of highs. I wouldn’t be the woman I am if it wasn’t for his strength & support. You’ve given my life purpose again. Baby, you save me. @oso_1987 💕 #love #myperson #loml #myreasonwhy #appreciationpost #ajenuinejourney
At the end of a long, stressful day, one of my favorite ways to de-stress besides writing is to have a cup of tea. The pantry is loaded with all sorts of teas: green, hibiscus, lemon, peppermint, and ginger just to name a few. I had a friend ask me for some advice on tea today, and I realized that I hadn’t really given myself a chance to indulge in a good, warm cup lately. I’ve been extremely wrapped up in others that I haven’t quite given myself some much-needed “me time.” So, after dinner, I decided to warm up a nice hibiscus tea & relax. I’ve been thinking a lot about self-care & how important it is for my own wellbeing. I get so wrapped up worrying about others & I forget that I’m the most important one of all. Take care of yourselves first, y’all. You can’t do for others if you haven’t first done for yourself. Take the time to de-stress, relax & treat yourself to that cup of tea. You deserve it! ☕️ #teatime #tea #wellness #health #destress #relax #treatyoself #loveyourself #selfcare #ajenuinejourney
It’s been a while since I’ve really pushed myself at the gym, in fact, I haven’t been in my home gym for over 2 weeks. I’m so glad to be back and pushing myself! Sweating out all the stress & starting my week off right! 👏🏼 #squats #motivationmonday #motiv8 #fit #fattofit #weightloss #babysteps #getit #health #fitness #wellness #ajenuinejourney
Today, on #WorldMentalHealthDay, I decided to take a walk. Adventuring the trails around the Arroyo was so much fun. Stepping out of my comfort zone has been tough these last few years, but it’s the small steps that have helped me get to where I am today. I find lots of peace in getting exercise, it helps me to unwind and de-stress from my often exhausting days at work. So much of what we do physically impacts us mentally. Paying attention to both your physical and mental health can help you achieve overall wellness and set you on a path to recovery. A healthy lifestyle can help to prevent the onset or worsening of mental health conditions, as well as heart disease, diabetes, obesity and other chronic health problems. It can also help people recover from these conditions. Eating healthy foods, managing stress, exercising, and getting enough sleep can go a long way in making you both physically and mentally healthy. Take care of yourselves, y’all. And take care of one another, too! 💛🎗#WMHD2018 #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #health #fitness #happiness #loveyourself #ajenuinejourney
It’s Monday & I’m off of work. I’ve been working for the past few days helping my brother lower his blood pressure to pass his physical for employment. Today, the MA suggested getting some cardio in before he went to get tested. So instead of a trip to the gym, we took a drive to the Arroyo Colorado & walked the trails for about 2 miles. It was a first for me, but my brother is a little more seasoned. It was relaxing, peaceful and definitely a breath of fresh air being submerged in nature. It’s been a stressful weekend, but I’m hoping God will answer our prayers in helping my brother get healthy to get back to work really soon. Until then, we’ll see! #trails #walkingtrails #harlingen #rgv #health #wellness #walking #fitness #ajenuinejourney
