For YOU.

By


It’s crazy to think about how one month can turn in the two months, and two months can turn the three months, and the next thing you know half a year goes by, and the next thing you know it’s a year later...


Thinking about where I was a year ago compared to where I am now...every time I predict or have a small invasion of what my future may look like, it turns out to be nothing like I expected it to look like but it’s not always a bad thing... 


And honestly the favorite things about my life right now are the ones that caught me by surprise because I didn’t see it coming... 


I’m just kind of at this point in my life where I tend to just go with the flow, ya know riding the wave of life, letting life take the stirring wheel...


But let me tell you, I’m a huge sign person... I mean HUGE. For example, every time I think of quitting my job and wanting to start something different, something happens whether it’s a promotion or some sort of light at the end of the tunnel that makes me stay. And I think that’s God’s way of telling me to stay...


And then of course other things happen that you wish maybe turned out differently... And it’s sometimes hard to take those things and look at them in a positive light. I sometimes question to myself and think is this is a sign too? A sign to let go... Let go of all the things that aren’t for YOU. Do you ever just catch yourself doing all these things for other people? BUT can you list the same number of things that you do for others that you do for yourself?


Make a list I challenge you... Name 3 things that you do for yourself on a daily basis. Actually things,  not just the necessities like showering, cooking, or work. 


Me: 

  1. Yoga/gym sometimes 
  2. ?
  3. ? 


The fact that I can’t name three things means something in my daily routine NEEDS to change... if you reading this I challenge you to write down 3 things you do for yourself in a daily and 3 things you would like to do for yourself on a daily... then take a deep breathe and just take a second to think about how you can include things that are for YOU, that better YOU in your daily routine... because in the end the most loyal person you will ever have in your life is yourself...

This is for those who cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel. I am right there with you. You feel like there is no point, right? Or there is nothing to look forward to, nothing to add value to, or maybe you feel like you don't want to turn to a loved when you feel lost in your own mind. I am there too. You can call me Jess, and I am here to tell you the cliché, you are not alone.  You have probably been told a million times this year, "This year sucks for everyone" and you think to yourself "Sure, but I am going through it." Those words have been replaying in my head for months now. Yes, I have a job. Yes, I am paying my bills on time. The question is, am I enjoying living paycheck to paycheck and nothing to look forward to because I can't afford anything. The answer is absolutely NOT. Guess what, there is nothing to do about it besides try to control the things you can control. It is true, everyone is struggling right now. I feel alone too. I feel li...

Lys's Sneak Peak

                                          Alright so I’m here... finally made it here. At this point in my life where I’m living the city girl dream, where I’m a full-time working adult, and where I’m partnered with one of my good ole college pals and writing this introductory blog post... WHY? Throwback for a second, when I was in high school I wanted to be a motivational speaker. Yes, me wanting to go out there and inspire the world... BUT at that time in my life I felt like I didn’t experience anything THAT serious to be a motivational speaker. Then I graduated high school and the tables turned.  Now, before I go in and tell you how and why the tables turned, just know no matter what I’ve been through, I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way because I wouldn’t have ended up living the life I’m living today. Now, my story isn’t insanely drastic, but it’s a STORY let me tell yo...

For you, Dad

Photo captured 12/21/2008 December 23rd, 2008. You were shoveling snow, The white slushy snow.  You expressed once, "my back hurts"  Smoking your last cigarette of the night, In the cold, dark garage.  You expressed twice, "my back hurts"  Finally saying, "goodnight" and went up to bed. December 23rd, 2008. The day I found you lying on your back, gasping for air. The day I was told you wouldn't be coming home.  December 23rd, 2008.  The day I lost one of my favorite humans.  You were funny, you were kind, and you always knew what to say.  Your laugh.  The laugh that put a smile on everyone's face.  All the music,  All the cleaning,  All the Sunday morning breakfasts,  Everything.  I wish I could call you, ask you for advice, just hear your voice one last time.  December 23rd, 2008. The last time we said "goodnight". -- Thank you for 10 years of parenting. Thank you for the memories. Thank you for your hard work, ...
