107| HIDDEN GEMS

Holà! Can you believe that Spring is only three days away?! Eeeeeeek! Lol that makes me very, very happy! I love being able to clock out of work and still have time to enjoy the sunshine! I also love sitting on my porch during my breaks. It lifts up my spirit. What’s your favorite Season? Mine is the Spring and Summer Time.

Decided to write a quick post and share some hidden gems from the last few weeks. Leeeet’s get to it!

  1. Some pictures from the gym. I got myself some new T-shirts to wear over my sports bras. The grey one is of Tupac, you just can’t see it. I’ve adjusted my routine. Added a higher count of reps and adjusted some weights. I love how I’m feeling since doing so. I have a trip within the next few weeks and have a goal in mind.

  2. Some Seasonal decor that I thought was cute. Might’ve gotten reminded of my time as an Irish lad in a past life lol.

  3. On my way to my doctor’s appointment the other day. I noticed a dog enjoying the wind whilst hanging out the car window in front of me.

  4. I use notebooks to jot down notes while working and taking calls. I’ve finished a few and well since Van Gogh is one of my favorite artists I snapped a pic to remember this one lol. It came in a set of three. I’m using the second one and it’s a different painting of his.

  5. My nails these last two weeks. I really liked them. They look futuristic and like melting metal lol. One hand is gold the other is silver. I have another nail appointment today. I’ll share those in the next Hidden Gems post.

  6. Got myself some new MAC nude lipsticks. Gotta get some new lip liners.

As always, I give my gratitude to you for stopping by! I hope you have a wonderful Spring 2025!

106| INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY

My Spiritual journey kicked off in 2007. Before that I had questioned my beliefs (which is completely normal to do!) I knew then that there is a Higher Power, but what else is there? What’s the point of life? Just some of the questions I had. And in search of those answers I even accompanied friends to their Churches. Except for some messages I received throughout a service, I never found what I was looking for. It just didn’t click or feel like Home. After meeting with a Spiritual teacher/Guru, she introduced me to Chakras and more. It peaked my interest and I started buying books, listening to audio, watching documentaries, going to Holistic events etc. In the midst of all of that my mom passed away and well… Here we are.

I’m not going to sit here and say that there aren’t many times that I feel lonely on my spiritual path. I was once told that this is something that is personal and to not expect others in my life to go on this journey with me. And I completely innerstand that. But it would be nice to have someone to sit with and talk about our epiphanies, weird dreams, signs or messages that I’ve received, etc etc. So what did I do? I put out a request to the Holy Spirit and my ancestors. I told them that I needed and wanted to be a part of a community and meet new people to connect with.

Soon after I found myself Googling. I was looking into workshops, classes, certifications etc when I remembered that I met a woman/spiritual teacher a few years ago at one of the local Holistic Fairs! I went into my office and grabbed a bag where I keep business cards for holistic and spiritual purposes. And found what I was looking for. I quickly entered her website’s name and signed myself up for her newsletter.

Several weeks later I got an email and in that email was an invitation to an International Women’s Day Soulful Retreat that she was hosting and instantly I knew it was my answered prayer/wish fulfilled! I shared it with a friend in case she wanted to go and it’ll be just me tomorrow. It’s close to an hour away from my house, but I am going! If you’re reading this, I’ve already gone to the event since it was on March 8th.

Look out for my next post where I will tell you all about it! I can’t wait to write about how it turned out. I know it’ll be just what I needed.

Going to more spiritual retreats, workshops, classes is one of my top goals for this year. I have my level 2 Reiki and Past Life Regression Certifications and looking to add more! I love learning, I love growing, and will make sure to make the time for it.

Thank you for reading! I hope you have a wonderful week and month of March! Pssst! Spring is near! 😆
