Unleashing Inner Strength

Looking back on how far I've come since this summer when I was in and out the emergency room every few days, I feel a renewed sense of life. I remember how much adversity I've faced head on and come through. I'm reminded that we as humans are survivors by nature, and it's truly flooring what the human spirit is capable of.

Today I just want to post a few things that really inspire me to embrace my inner strength. No food allergies, celiac disease, tumors, or seemingly stressful jobs have power over the creation of my own happiness and full appreciation for life. This world is full of unique blooms and the brightest of rays. Open your eyes and bask in the richness of life.

There's always time for being young and silly at heart. I find it vital to my existence.

Crazy, fun, wild, love!




You are always stronger than you think.

What things do you deem important in your life?

Sprinkles

Today I'm just sharing a few sprinkles of joy that I find renewing.


Yesterday I found myself in a bit of a funk, not being very creative with my food choices. I started to feel a little down about having extreme food allergies, but quickly put a stop to that as I remembered how lucky I am to even be sitting here. I remembered how important it is to live in the moment as much as possible and to not let this obstacle change my positive mindset. Here's a few of my favorite things that never fail to boost my spirits on the occasional "off" day.


- Fabulous cakes that look harder to make than they actually are, even allergen free! -

- Dave Matthews Band -







Dave is always full of reflective and magical lyrics that just bring me to a whole new place. His live shows are some of my favorite memories.


- Those quiet moments, when you realize life is not as hard as it seems -
