I’m very grateful

My life has been heavy and painful and chaotic. The last 6 months have been peaceful, slow, stable. I’m in a place I’ve never been, a place I never thought I could be in.

I have been down in the deep dark nasties of experience and feeling. To be at this place of stillness, and tranquility feels like a gift.

I pinch myself often.

If you’re still down in the deep dark nasties, please know that there’s stillness and peace waiting for you down the road. You just can’t ever ever give up. I’m here for you ❤️

... Read moreIn a world often filled with chaos and struggles, many people face their own battles in silence. The journey toward finding peace can be daunting, especially after experiencing pain and turmoil. However, it's crucial to remember that every storm eventually passes. Embracing the moments of stillness can be transformative. Mindfulness practices, such as meditation and journaling, can help individuals navigate their emotions more effectively, leading to a greater sense of tranquility. Connecting with supportive communities or professionals can provide the necessary encouragement and guidance that many seek. As you move towards a state of peace, it’s essential to acknowledge your feelings and embrace them to facilitate healing. Celebrate the small victories along your journey, for they contribute immensely to personal growth. The path may not always be straightforward, but with resilience, you can uncover joy and gratitude in every phase of life. Remember, peace is not just a destination; it's a journey that begins within.

A shopping haul featuring a black and white trucker hat with a smiley face, a colorful bead bracelet kit in an organizer, a black running pouch with a white swoosh logo, a pink transparent mini bag with a star, and a braided bracelet, all arranged on a wooden surface.
Shopping haul from yesterday!! I’m very grateful:)
Sorry for the bad lighting 😭💗! The black bag is a running pouch from NIKE, the hat, bracelet kit, and pink bag are from Hobby Lobby, and the Pura Vida bracelet was from a local store :) #lemon8diarychallenge #Haul #shoppinghauls🛍️ #shoppingislife✌🏼 #ShoppingHaul #hobbylobby #shop #cut

My very first color tattoo!
I’ll be honest. This took a veryyy long time. Color blending is one of my favorite techniques but I’m not a fast artist… yet… but practice makes progress and every day I learn a little bit more! So grateful to this wonderful client and her absolute trust in the process. It was an honor! #colortatt

A hand holds a pint of Planet Based Foods Dairy-Free Frozen Dessert, Vanilla Bean flavor. The label emphasizes it is plant-based, dairy-free, made with clean ingredients, and planet friendly, in a 14oz (414ml) container.
I’m very grateful for non dairy options
That aren’t made with coconut milk but 8 flipping dollars for a pint?!! Highway robbery if you ask me. It is delicious though.

Sometimes, when we go through really hard patches in life, we can lose track of our goals, our intentions, ourselves. Sometimes we need a reminder of why we are here what our purpose is. I recently lost my uncle, and I know he's up there looking down on me and my family. And sometimes we take

Re Organize My Very Small Perfume Collection
New to Lemon8 ! Re organizing my fragrance part 1. I had to get a second shelf for my Fragrances because the shelf space was entirely too small :) and before you say I have too many fragrances and being a h8errr lmao I can tell you that it’s the shelf space that’s the problem NOT my Perfume!

I’m Grateful to move my body 🙏🏾
Grateful to God for the ability to move my body. 🙏🏾 Even though I may complain, I’m reminded it’s a gift to be able to do the very things I complain about. It’s all about perspective. Take a moment today to thank God and honor your body with some movement — whatever that looks like for you.

Someone said to me recently “your hard work is paying off”. I got the sentiment, and I was very touched, but, if I’m honest… while I do work hard and am grateful for everything I have, I really have learned to create a life where I enjoy the work process. And furthermore, my “pay off” is not moneta

Also the reason I may have duplicates is because I have been gifted a lot of these, and also I always save some for everyone. I have also been collecting these for a very long time, like before they even became popular ( also yes I did use my jewelry stand for NeeDohs 🤣) #creations
