Do Better. Be Better.

January 1

I can’t believe we’re already in our second month of 2017. Wasn’t it just yesterday that I was ubering from place to place and being coaxed into drinking Johnnie Walker Blue Label shots – just because I could? That’s how I welcomed in the New Year, for the record.

That was a month ago, time flies – in this case, it’s going a bit too quickly for me. I know the timeframe for the “New Years resolutions” posts has passed but in my opinion, it’s never too late for a resolution. In previous years I’ve made specific resolutions: no cursing, limiting alcohol consumption to weekends, losing some major holiday weight, saving X amount of dollars per pay check. I’ve been able to abide by some, others went out the window the moment I said fcking shit fck.

This year, I’m trying a new approach. My only resolution is to do better.

Do better physically

In the past, it’s always been about getting back to a certain size – being able to fit back into those pair of jeans that are uncomfortably snug now. Don’t get me wrong, I do want to shed that holiday weight. I do want to fit back into those jeans but above that I want to feel good about how I look. I want to feel proud of the workouts I do and I want to have a consistent workout regiment. It’s not about the number of gym visits or how much I’m able to bench, it’s about going to the gym when I don’t want to and lifting when all I want to do is sit and eat donuts.

This year, my only focus is to be consistently active and find a good balance between indulgence and living a healthy lifestyle.

Do better mentally/emotionally

For those of you who know me, you probably know how analytical I can be. I can over-analyze one situation until my head hurts and I’ve listed at least a dozen outcomes for the same circumstance. It’s my strength and my weakness; I’m able to almost prep myself mentally for certain outcomes. It’s always served to be protection against people with bad intentions. On the flip side, it’s made me somewhat paranoid for arbitrary scenarios that may or may not ever transpire. It is what it is.

This year, my focus is to live in the present. I only need to protect my heart and continue to have faith that everything will eventually fall into place.

Do better spiritually

I’ve been unbelievably blessed this last year. I’ve had the opportunity to rekindle my faith in God and draw close to him; none of which would’ve been possible if my cousin, Antionette hadn’t suggested it. This last year has been filled with so many ups and even more downs but my constant, my core revolved around Jehovah and his teachings. I can honestly say I’d be lost without him.

This year, my focus is to continue to strengthen my faith, take the time to meditate on his word and only act upon love and kindness.

I want to do better, to continuously try to BE better – that is the ultimate resolution!

If you watch my stories, you know that I post A LO If you watch my stories, you know that I post A LOT about @enzothejindo . Since we've adopted him, he's been by my side approximately 94.8% of the time; when we go on walks, when I nap, even when I'm in the bathroom - he likes to make sure I don't fall into the toilet. 

He is the best decision I've made in my life, the ABSOLUTE BEST - if you're thinking about finding a dog companion, please consider adopting. There are so many wonderful organizations out here, one will fit your needs, I'm sure of it ❤

Things feel uncertain right now. Please make sure Things feel uncertain right now.
Please make sure you take some time for yourself & disconnect from the media cover when you need to.
Sending some love 💘  because you might need a little extra today.

Working from home has had its challenges. Social d Working from home has had its challenges.
Social distancing from family & friends isn't ideal; necessary, but not ideal.
2020, in general, has not been ideal BUT I can honestly say I've found comfort in those who have remained close to me - figuratively not literally. 

I hope that you're able to find some happiness during these times! Find happiness in something you love to do, something you've always wanted to do but haven't had the time, people you've been able to reconnect with or those whose relationships have been strengthened during these times 💙

Today is #worldmentalhealthday . I usually think i Today is #worldmentalhealthday . I usually think it's laughable - all the different "days" that come about. There's seemingly a day for everything; a donut day, dog day, sibling day, there's even a coffee day.. their sole purpose is to give each of us an opportunity to find the perfect shot &share how we're somehow connected to what is currently trending...⠀
⠀
Today is different, today is important. Today we should all try to connect to what is trending. There's so many of us (myself included) who continually suffer from some form of mental illness; some of us suffer in silence; some of us suffer without even knowing; some of us suffer & are too afraid to ask for help.⠀
⠀
“I used to think the worst thing in life was to end up all alone. It's not. The worst thing in life is ending up with people who make you feel all alone.”⠀
⠀
-Robin Williams⠀
⠀
So in observance to today, I want you to reach out so someone you care about & simply ask them "Are you okay?" ⠀
⠀
Always be kind to one another, you never know what someone is struggling with...⠀

I knew I wanted to adopt Enzo (formally Buddy) the I knew I wanted to adopt Enzo (formally Buddy) the moment I saw how disproportionate he was. I thought it was adorable how he was a mini-sized Jindo; a life-sized Scrappy-Doo!⠀
⠀
For those who aren't familiar, the Jindo breed originates from South Korea. Enzo was saved from a dog-meat farm by @dove_project . 
⠀
It was through their organization that I was able to meet Enzo & my life was forever changed 💝

If you're interested in adopting I urge you to visit their page - you won't be disappointed!

I'm a bit late on this but here we are. For those of you who don't know, A Blueberry Girl started as a passion project. I loved being able to see my vision come to fruition; building it, designing, writing & the process of creating - it all helped me heal.⠀
⠀
Two years later the focus is less about healing and more about self-love. I've taken some time to reflect on what my goals are, what I envision my life to be & what is truly important.⠀

Let's all continue this journey together 💙⠀

The similarity the icecream emoji has to my icecream cone is undeniable. There's no real purpose to this post except to express my unwavering love for icecream.

Want to cheer me up? Buy me icecream.
Am I upset with you? Buy me icecream, I won't be.
Want to show me how much you love me? Buy me icecream even when I don't ask for it.
Do you want to make me smile? Ask me if I want icecream..
THEN buy me icecream (to keep me smiling, of course) 😊
