If you don’t control what you think, you’ll never control what you do.

This was a quote from our sermon this morning at .church. And as I was cropping a shirt of mine 30 minutes ago, my mind wandered into this place of fear. Fear that I won’t be able to take a photo like this again.. while I was cropping a SHIRT.

These kind of fears enter my mind more than once a day at the most random times and in the moments when I am weak and not in control- they can completely consume me.

I notice these thoughts most on the days where I don’t carve out time for my morning routine. My morning routine is where I take the time to center myself, listen to where my headspace is for the day and work to fuel it with gratitude, prayer & focus. When I take the time to become aware of my thoughts intentionally, it leaves room for more happiness, presence & puts my heart at ease.

I don’t know what the future will bring for myself & our family, but I do know that our miracle is still in motion...I can feel it.

If you struggle with these thoughts & feelings like I do, I would love if you shared your story with me— I always find comfort & meaning through the connections made here. 🤍

These were taken moments apart.

Just a reminder that people will only show you what they want you to see.

It’s easy to get caught up in the comparison game... whether that be comparing your body, lifestyle, relationship, friendships, family, etc. When we spend all our time focusing on the things we presume that we lack, we forget about all the things there are to celebrate.

I want this side by side to live on my feed so you can see what’s under my high rise yoga pants that I love wearing. I wear them because they make me feel good & they are comfortable- underneath is a body still healing from surgery & the ectopics. The journey has been hard but there is so much to celebrate about this body of mine.

I hope you come to my page and are inspired to cut the comparison game & recognize all that there is to celebrate about yourself. What we focus on magnifies. 🤍☀️

Sweet boy 🤍 Love getting to celebrate Valentine’s Day with you & your dad!
