Self-Care

Hi Sunshine!

Hows your day going? It’s been a hot minute. I think it’s funny sometimes when we make these grand plans and then look back and laugh at how we thought said plan would go. And I mean any grand plan. Right now, I’m thinking about why on earth I thought the best weekend to launch a blog was the weekend I got a puppy.

Are you laughing yet?

I’m (always) going to be 100% open and transparent with you… I definitely was under prepared for the arrival of my new furry four legged friend. I read and watched videos before I went to pick him up. I felt like I had a handle on it all. I’m pretty sure I said, “I’ve totally got this” to myself multiple times. And I believed that things would be a piece of cake after little Ryder had slept in his crate like an angel throughout our entire first together.

But then… Day 02 and the rest of the week came. My best friend who adventured with me to get him had to go back home. My roommates were’t around as much as I anticipated them to be. I walked into this empty townhouse with Ryder and quickly realized my new reality.

Downtime used to be the death of me. Which is why I had wanted a puppy. And why I decided now was the best time for me to work on self-growth by starting this blog (and my IG account).

After Ryder’s first week at home, I quickly dropped in with an IG post after a week of silence; hinting that I was busy. Then another week went by… I wrote out an affirmation, but I never posted it. A few days later, one of my friends asked me how the blog and IG account was going (hello accountability). I was honest with her. I just wanted to focus on Ryder.

The blog is still important. But it’s not going anywhere. 🙂

Long story short… sometimes the timing of things might not make sense. But I believe things have a good way of working out the way they are meant to in the end.
