Living in the Moment
3:50 PM
I hope everyone was safe and enjoyed their July 4th!
This blog post won’t be too much about fashion, just want to vent and share my
thoughts real quick.
A couple weeks ago my family and I took a trip to California
for unexpected death in the family. To be honest, I wasn’t sure if we were
going to make the funeral. Due to money, finding plane tickets, finding a
rental car, it seem like our chances were pretty slim. But God is always on
time! After figuring some things out we realized that my sister has a brand new
car, money was saved up, and some thoughtful family & friends pitched in,
we were able to make our trip to California.
I know what you’re thinking. Who would want to drive to
20 hours to San Diego, California?! I’m so glad we did! This was the first time
I’ve traveled with my family outside the state of Texas. The scenery was beautiful;
the experience driving up the mountains was one to remember (sorry Licia lol),
chilling at the beach for the first time, meeting family members you’ve only
talked to through Facebook, and just spending quality time with everyone was so
amazing!
In today’s society we’re always in such a rush, want
things instantly, and I realized how important it was to just take a step back
and take in where I am in the moment. Enjoy the journey because you’re not
going to get that same moment in time again!
I made these cool gratitude rocks! Every time I look at
them or hold them, not only will it remind me of my trip to Cali, I’ve placed
positive words on them so they could be uplifting and put me in a better mood.
Plus I love glitter. lol
Tomorrow is not promised, so take the time out to spend time
with your loved ones, tell them you love them, make amends with people you’ve
fell out with, meet new people, and don’t judge others because you don’t
know their situation and what they’re going through behind closed doors.
This was just something that was on my heart. I hope that this encourages someone to start a new journey, or love life just a little more!
Peace. Love. Blessings.
