What does lifestyle mean to me?
First and foremost, I would like to take a moment to welcome you to my lifestyle blog. This has been a long-time coming- with putting motherhood first for the past 12-years, I am officially stepping into a new chapter of life. Life itself is a beautiful, ever-evolving journey, and I created this space to help you create the life you’ve always dreamed of, no matter what stage you are at. Whether you are looking for support, ways to stay organized, find motivation, embrace self-care or simply add a little more joy to your daily routine, you are in the right place!
For me, lifestyle isn’t just about routines or trends- it’s about creating a life that feels fulfilling, balanced and true to who you are. It’s about making small, meaningful choices that bring happiness, whether it’s through creating the home of your dreams, raising a family, starting a business, getting a promotion, getting a dog, selling your paintings for a living, going through a mindset shift that changes the way you approach challenges, or even if it’s as simple as starting a morning ritual that makes you feel like you can conquer the world- I think everyone deserves a shot at living the life they desire. I believe that no matter where you are in life, you have the power to shape your days in a way that feels authentic and empowering.
From the moment we enter this crazy whirlwind of a life, we are hounded every day with thoughts, beliefs, what to do, what not to do, what’s wrong, what’s right- it’s like someone is chasing us with a giant cookie cutter from birth to death. Very rarely, do you have the opportunity to truly think for yourself without being judged. We live in a world where, no matter what you do, no matter how hard you try to please those around you- you are still hated by at least one person. If you came here to know the secret of how to get everyone to like you…you are in the wrong place. I believe, that with a solid moral compass, you need to stop worrying about if Aunt Betsy is going to being judging you at Thanksgiving for opening your own flower shop in downtown NYC- if that’s what is going to make you happy- DO IT! If that is what you’ve been dreaming about since you were 10-years old and you think about it everyday-there is a reason for that! These desires, no matter how small, no matter how big, these desires were put in our hearts for a reason. As long as you aren’t taking advantage, hurting yourself or others, and you are an all around decent human- you need to go after it with all you got.
Success is never guaranteed. However, if you never try- you’ll never know. I am all about the “go big or go home”- it’s gotten me this far and I honestly, couldn’t imagine a better life. You have to take risks. You have to be ok with people doubting you, talking negatively about you behind your back, and straight up not liking you- who cares!
Do me this one favor, take a moment- go to a quite place. Close your eyes. Now- if money was no issue- what would you be doing? What does your dream life look like?
Now, open your eyes….and go make it happen.
You owe it to yourself.
