One Day At A Time

Meet the girls (Snackable Red Peppers) 🌶️

They’re getting there!! They are loving this hot weather. In the second pot, you’ll find volunteer marigold with some purslane. I might cook up some of the purslane later. These “weeds” are actually packed full of nutrition. They are high in omega-3s and Vitamin A, C, and E!

Good morning🌻

Starting my days by practicing mindfulness has helped me so much. As an anxious and depressed girly with ADHD, it can be hard to not get lost in my thoughts. Intentionally grounding myself in the present helps to break that habit. It creates space. In that space I’ve found clarity and peace.

I spotted this little cutie the other day 🕷️ I have always been scared of spiders but turns out, they are actually kind of cool.

It’s been a little while since I’ve posted anything personal on here. I’ve been going through it lately.

I failed the last semester of nursing school. I have been recovering from burnout. I applied for re-admission into school and got denied. My fiancé ended our relationship. I’m searching for a new place to live. So many changes.

I’m learning to loosen my grip. Accept things as they are. It’s easier said than done sometimes. I find myself wanting and clinging. But, I am finding peace in mindfulness. Resting in a gentle awareness of the present. It feels like coming home.

I don’t have it all figured out. Sometimes I feel like I’m barely getting by. But, I am blessed. I am loved. I am safe. I am supported. I am incredibly lucky.

And I know none of this'll matter

In the long run

But I know a sound is still a sound

Around no one
