Little Life Update

Lately I have been trying to eat more plant based food!

This is my new niece puppy Gerri! \She weighs two pounds, two!

Fridays are dress days in our house

Last week i had breakfast with my dad before his job interview. He got the job, yay! I am so proud of you dad. You have taught me so much! I love you

I don't think this counts as actually working out

I may or may not be training my dog to be a human

Beautiful  view of my favorite spot in the park

Ellie will forever be the biggest baby

Easter Weekend

 

Nothing beats Nana's home cooking

 

 

We played egg games for hours, like we were all kids again

 There is something very humbling about spending the weekend at your Grandparent's surrounded only by people that love you

Maci's Easter pot  - it has always been a tradition in my family instead if Easter baskets we got pots

 

Happy First Easter Babe

 

 

When I got home on Sunday Will and I decided to spend the afternoon in the park with the pups

 

 

I love this man obscene amounts

 

"Heyyyyyy Mom" - Maci

"You can't see me" - Moka

Fill the Freezer

 

I want start off by saying people are simply amazing. Over the past several months my family has been through some really tough times. My dad unemployed, my mom working multiple jobs, just scrapping by. But this story isn't about our rough patch, it's about wonderful, loving people. 

My parents friends held a Fill the Freezer party for us, every one who was invited brings a frozen dish or gift card to go to eat. It is so simple but so powerful. We filled two freezers with food! People bought us groceries and gift cards. They wanted to make sure that food was the last thing that we were worrying about. I grew up in a family where doing for others is just a part of daily life, but having people do such a caring, simple act for my family was eye opening. People are amazing. There were so many people there to give hugs and remind us that no matter how hard times get we are still loved. They showered us with encouragement and love. There never a way to thank friends enough. People go beyond expectations, even in the broken world that will live in there is still so many good people and so much hope. Thank you every one, thank you! 

If you know anyone that could need extra support, throw them a Fill the Freezer party. It's an easy way to spread love. And living to help others is the best way to live.

If you were not afraid...

todays blog post is inspired by Ellie and Jared vloggers on Youtube. one year ago they decide to not be afraid and started doing daily vlogs. as i was watching their one year vlog i started to think about myself. what would i do if i wasn't afraid? would i jump out of an airplane? would i gave this blog my all? would i swim with sharks? would i dress differently? would i act differently?

sometimes i feel as through a lion is about to attack me just by walking out of my house. the world is a scary place. my body freaks out and i fear even being myself. but if i was not afraid i was share my blog with everyone i know. here i am recording my life and sharing it on the internet but my mom doesn't even know my blog exist. if i was not afraid i would give my all to this blog. i would make a schedule and stick to it. i would take classes to improve my blogging. if i was not afraid i would dance like no one was watching. if i was not afraid i would wear nice clothes, not baggy t-shirts. if i was not afraid i would be myself all the time. if i was not afraid i would speak up when i had an idea. if i was not afraid i would choose make myself happy. if i was not afraid i would not be silent. if i was not afraid i would be adventurous. i would climb to the highest mountain I could find. i would go swimming in th cold.

so i am here to say i'm going to try and not be afraid. because lets just be honest there is always going to be people you think you are not enough. but being you is enough! Ellie and Jared are a wonderful example of the great things that can happen when you stop being afraid. thank you both for the inspiration.

"i have an ambition to live 300 years. i will not live 300 years. maybe i will live one year more. but i have the ambition. why you will not have ambition? why? have the greatest ambition possible. you want to be immortal? fight to be immortal. do it. you want to make the most fantastic art or movie? try. if you fail, is not important. we need to try." - Alejandro Jodorowsky

so lets be brave.

 what would you do if you were not afraid?
