Cute way to include dogs in wedding ceremony plus an absolute stunning picture of my daughter in her wedding dress- My pride and joy along with my cute grand pups
My daughter recently got married. The wedding was beautiful and she was so incredibly happy. It makes my heart so full. She was the absolute most stunning bride that I have ever seen.
I also thought that it was super cute the way my daughter and son in law incorporated the dogs (my grandpups) into the wedding by naming signature drinks after them :-) I thought that was a great idea.
My daughter is super smart though 💓 I am so proud of her. She rocks :-) I only hope that she always knows that!
Have a great day friends!
When my life came full circle and I found myself back where I started- in the streets that had once been home with people that knew my name
When my life came full circle and I found myself back where I started- in the streets that had once been home with people that knew my name..
It was all so familiar, but felt like a lifetime ago in so many ways.
They all knew who I was, but not who I’d become..
They didn’t know that version of me- the person I had fought to become through the storms of life.
But then, I didn’t expect them to know me anymore..
And if I was honest, I knew some of them would never really understand the evolution of me.
And that’s okay.
You learn from change that not everyone is meant to stay in your life.
They play their part and while you may never forget who they were,
They weren’t meant to be part of the final chapters.
It was a hard truth knowing that people from a life that was once all I knew wouldn’t be there in the end..
But that’s just how life goes sometimes.
The ones that love you and get you always seem to find a way to be there for you, even when no one else is..
And they just stick around, always.
And your heart is better for them.
And when you change, they support you and love you all the same,
regardless of what the world thinks of the new you.
So, yeah, as I turned down the streets that I had been on countless times before,
Everything just felt different now.
A good different.
I had worked hard to grow and evolve in my life to become a person I was proud to be…
And I learned most of all,
There were parts of me that I had to let go, release and set free..
Because those were the worst parts of me that held me back, weighed me down and kept me from growing.
So as I stopped for a moment to say goodbye to the life I once called home, it was a bittersweet farewell.
Some wonderful memories, some painful remembrances, but it was someplace and something I was finally moving on from.
I don’t know where tomorrow will take me but even as I’m thankful for the lessons of yesterday, it’s time for me to turn the page and start a new chapter.
The future is what I make of it, and the darkness of the past no longer calls to me.
I smiled as I looked back one last time.
It’s a great day to start being free.

The day that I realized that the person I saw in the mirror wasn’t as important as the person I loved on the inside
The day that I realized that the person I saw in the mirror wasn’t as important as the person I loved on the inside..
That was a life changer.
I had spent all my life trying to be perfect, looking for the best outfit or ideal hairstyle that I thought would make me happy...
Only none of that ever did.
Doing all the superficial things to try to please people that didn’t matter for reasons that weren’t real in ways that weren’t really important...those things never told my story..
The tale of tragedy and triumph, losing and finding myself..most of all, evolving my heart and soul into the best person I could be.
Looking in the mirror, I saw all my flaws and realized I would never be perfect- but that’s the beauty of it all.
I didn’t have to be.
Moreover. I didn’t want to be.
Give me the real ones, the people full of flaws, scars and scratches.
The wonderful souls that tell it like it is, always have your back and you can always count on to be real.
That’s who I strive to be, each and every day.
The beauty will fade and time may wither my less then perfect skin and change my body, but my heart and soul- those amazing parts of myself that I value, will keep growing, evolving and getting better.
So, I’ve stopped trying to be trendy, cool and hip.
I’m working on being authentic, caring and kind.
The world needs more of that.
I need more of that.
I’m letting go of the things I can’t change and focusing on what I can.
In the end, what matters most is my happiness.
Happy with my life, with my world and happy working on me.
I can’t control where my path leads me or what tomorrow brings, but I can control how I let it all affect me.
Rain or shine, I’ll always keep moving forward and doing the things that fill my soul with joy.
If you ask me,
That's a pretty good place to be.

I don’t seek revenge, not because I didn’t feel the pain, but because I love the person I became after it
I don’t seek revenge,
not because I didn’t feel the pain,
but because I love the person I became after it.
Every betrayal,
every loss,
every moment that tried to break me only shaped me into someone wiser,
stronger,
and more at peace.
I don’t need to get even;
life already balanced the scales by turning my hurt into growth.
Instead of wasting energy on bitterness,
I used it to build myself into someone I’m proud of.
The best revenge isn’t proving a point,
it’s moving forward with grace,
with success,
with a heart that no longer carries the weight of the past.
I don’t look back to wish harm;
I look back only to remind myself how far I’ve come.
The people who tried to bring me down don’t deserve my hate;
they deserve to watch me rise,
untouched by the damage they once caused.
