We exist to have joy 😊

2025/5/9 Edited to

... Read moreJoy is an essential aspect of our existence, as emphasized in the teachings of leaders like Dieter F. Uchtdorf, who reminds us that "you were built for this!" Understanding this concept can transform our perspective on life's difficulties. In moments of hardship, it is crucial to focus on the spiritual joys that connect us with our purpose. The teachings from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints highlight that embracing joy can lead to a more fulfilling life. This joy often comes from deep faith, community support, and personal growth through trials. Engaging with faith communities can also enhance our ability to find joy. Participating in discussions, sharing experiences, and supporting each other through challenges helps strengthen our belief in a joyful purpose. Joy isn't just a fleeting emotion; it's a state of being that reflects our spiritual connection and understanding of divine love. As we navigate life's ups and downs, let us remind ourselves that we are uniquely designed for joy and that through faith, we can achieve it even in the face of challenges.

Gratitude Doesn’t Change Everything But It Changes How We See Everything
There was a time when I believed gratitude was something reserved for the good days, the days when everything seemed to go right, when life felt manageable, and when happiness came easily. But over time, I discovered that gratitude is often most powerful during the moments when we need it the most.

It’s ok to have your Own life 🌹
Somewhere along the way, we were taught that being a good partner, a good mom, a good everything… meant shrinking ourselves. Less time for you. Less space for you. Less you. But you’re allowed to exist outside of what you do for others. You’re allowed to have your own thoughts, your own peace,

Men that like “bigger women” exist
There are some men out there that are “shallow” and only look at appearance but there is a great group of men out there that don’t care truly and just want to know you as an individual. I for years had a similar mindset but once I started putting me first I started seeing my true value and being tr

You do not have to earn your right to exist. 🍋✨
Some of us learned to survive by becoming smaller. Smaller needs. Smaller emotions. Smaller dreams. Smaller versions of ourselves that felt easier to love. But survival is not the same thing as aliveness. Aliveness can look quiet. It can look like eating when you are hungry. Resting before
