This afternoon after being locked outside my back door while looking at my keys on the counter I was struggling to find the funny 😩 I eventually said ok I have been put in time out, so sit down enjoy the great weather and watch the butterflies and hummingbirds 🦋 Help did come after two hours and two funny attempts watching the game of which key will fit from the bundles of keys 🔐 He was hilarious with the zingers and helped me laugh even more about it during this time 🤣 I am happy to be inside and appreciate my chosen family friend for helping out with the laughs and the key to get back inside 🙌🏽 (at DeKalb County, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CE7lb4Vhrj0/?igshid=7i4u64qni9fj

Enjoyed making me a sweet treat with a homemade cinnamon vanilla crust with fresh sweet Georgia peaches tucked inside 💗 Hear me when I say sugar is not the enemy in moderation of consumption 🚫 The trouble comes when you eat too much too often ❎ Your body can not run just on sugar alone and excess amounts slows everything down ⏬ It ages your skin prematurely and makes your internal skin more susceptible to inflammation 😞 So enjoy a slice every now and then life is to short not to but don't let it shorten your life eating too much 💯 (at DeKalb County, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CE4pEmgBjF2/?igshid=abv9k2lecwlp

Did you know coconut water is a skin loving and boosting beverage good for consumption internally and eternally 💗 Which means you can drink it or apply it topically through skin care products 💞 It is high in arginine an essential amino acids that we can only get from food that helps in repairing skin when ingested as well as applied directly to the skin 💯 Not gonna lie not a huge fan drinking it just trying some out my neighbor gave me that was infused with fresh pineapple 😆 Any coconut water lovers?

Yet again I am full of sadness, despair and on my knees fuelled by hope of new experiences and realities more soothing to my heart ❣️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ I know without turning in to my hope in action that my feelings of sadness and despair can easily turn into anger and rage, it's what I see in the pain, frustration, violence, heartbreak and tears of others 💔 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ Yes there are many justifications for it all and we all have every right to feel how we feel... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ So I am noting this to myself on repeat even more so everyday of this year because I must remind myself to process through my grief and hold firm in the power of leading from a place that feels right for ME 💟 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ I breathe in and then exhale out the sadness then breathing in hope to provide the much needed strength to continue to move in and from love... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ Be kind first to yourself and extend that kindness out OTHERS 💞 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ (at Hopefull Vibes) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEewohyBEU-/?igshid=1ng1na5fydb3a
