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...

Pals That Blog

By
The Jess & Lyss friendship goes WAY back to our college degenerate days. We both joined the same sorority our sophomore year of college, had the same major, and of course jammed out to the same music. We became closer, made the wildest of memories, and eventually had Jess & Lyss therapy sessions together. We live very similar lifestyles but at the same time, we have VERY different experiences that have shaped us into who we are today. These experiences have brought us closer together to form a friendship neither of us would replace. This blog was originally a one man show. By adding another blogger, we aspire to reach a larger audience as our ultimate goal is to motivate others. Live On is now reconstructed to share our stories, our DIFFERENT stories, that we hope one day someone can benefit from. To let someone know that they are not alone. To encourage others to keep on going. To maybe even save a life. This world is full of obstacles... challenges... but hey, we're in it

A Christmas Miracle

So if anyone knows a little bit about me, I grew up just with my mom. My parents divorced when I was three years old and my dad got remarried and had three kids. Now, my brothers were never really in my life until about a couple months ago... why? God only knows. I was just a kid... of course growing up I   favored my mom because she did stick it out and raise me this entire time. But it wasn’t fair to me. I wasn’t really allowed to be a part of my brothers lives. Now the big question is why? I could go on and blame my dad and his wife but the real answer is that I couldn’t tell ya. Time went by, I got older. The oldest brother actually reached out to me. It was like he knew it wasn’t my fault, because it really wasn’t... I wanted to be there... I prayed about it every night. All I ever wanted was to be around and have that brother/sister relationship, be that good role model, be there for THEM. Like I said a couple months ago things changed. My dad reached out, he apologized, he start

New Beginnings

To start,  A check in... How are you? How was your year? Most importantly what have you learned and what are you taking into 2021?  I have to ask myself the same questions. How am I? Fine. How was my year? Crazy. What have I learned and what am I taking into 2021? You have to take care of YOU first. I am taking that along with good, positive vibes into 2021... no matter how crazy this next year may be. I don't really know what to expect this year, I guess no one does. I think it will definitely be another year of change and adaptability. Which isn't always a bad thing, it just may be a challenging thing. But who isn't up for a good challenge every once in a while? To be better, these questions are important to ask yourself, in my new outlook on things at least.  - Everything is so uncertain in life. I can't even put into words how crazy that thought is to me. We wake up everyday without knowing what could possibly happen, good or bad. I have a hard time accepting this.
