Sometimes life gives you lemons 🍋 Other times life rips the ground out under your feet and laughs at your face. After 38 years my childhood family is aggressively breaking a part. But I have to move on, because they are…and what other choice do I have?!? #lemondiary #Lemon8Diary #tired #brok

But to those of us who struggle with self-worth it can be a life saving #affirmation . My to-list is bottomless and I’m learning not to use it as my worthiness meter - as it sets me up for failure. #enough #Lemon8Diary #lemon8wellnes #dailyaffirmations

Beautiful weather and day today. #countyourblessings #appreciation #nature #simplelife #overwhelmed

Yes, I know I need to deal with life’s chaos- but today trying to build resilience inside my bubble first. #resilience #familydrama #overwhelmed #self care #nottoday

This is not something I expected in life. To watch some of the people closest to my heart fade away, choose radicalism over friends and family. Cut off people who do not align with their beliefs… it’s confusing, but I refuse to forget who they were, and I’ll be here if they decided to return with k

I will always search and move towards the door that offers hope in the darkness. #HOPE #hopecore #faith #keepgoing #Lemon8Diary

Remembering the things in life I need to keep growing. #growthjourney❤️ #healingera #spring #littlethings #Lemon8Diary

Impact takes time to root. The seeds you plant today may rest unseen for a while, but with patience and steady care, they’ll rise into opportunities that nourish far beyond what you imagined. #mondaymotivation #dailyreminders #Lemon8Diary #patience #keepgrowing

This world is REALLY into freaking us out these days. I guess fear sells? 😞 I felt strong today, but this image is exactly what it took to keep the darkness away. I feel guilty ignoring my problems, but I just can’t today. #embraceyourlight #mondaymotivation #Lemon8Diary #nottoday #embrace

Nicer weather has me itching to head to the mountains and find my sense of adventure! Been in this city TOO long! #mountains #adventure #Lemon8Diary #motivation #natureheals

Maybe today is the day? #inspiration #springrenewal #motivational #newjourney #lemon8dairy

Today has been a hard day…trying to find my little light of hope to keep me going. Even if it’s just a deep breath or two. #depressionisreal😮‍💨😫 #struggleisreal #lemon8dairy #nevergiveup #breath

Peace doesn’t come without effort. Everyday we choose how we speak, the actions we take….or don’t take…the people we choose to spend time with. It’s what plants and feeds who you become in this world. I’m making the choices that help me grow the world I dream of! #Lemon8Diary #growingmyself

Some days hope doesn’t roar. It doesn’t arrive with certainty or clarity. It just shows up quietly — in a breath, a moment, a tiny shift you almost miss. #inspiration #motivation #Lemon8Diary #keepgoing #HOPE

Be the light, follow the light. No matter how you define this light, there is no denying that choosing that path leads to a lighter life. 🫶 #HOPE #stepbystep #Lemon8Diary #findingmyself #keepgoing

Spring “Break” is the next TWO weeks for us. But hubby and I’s work are way too busy this time of year for us to take off. Again, I work from home, so I’m playing ping-pong between work tasks and keeping kids busy! Thankful I am feeling Light about the world today. #springbreak #Lemon8Diary #m

Most days I NEED to be productive to feel my peace…yet in the same moment I become paralyzed unable to get anything done. Then my usual habit is to panic or beat myself up over wasting a day. I’m finding courage to allow myself to pause and remember that the breath I take is the most productive

Life has been a roller coaster since this time last year. Fighting depression and anxiety while triggers fly at you daily was not in my plans. Triggers are not going away anytime soon. What can I do?!? I used winter as a time to rest and reflect - now I want to leave all these traumas in the pas
