Living by the sunshine

  Why Autumn Fills Me with Happiness and Warmth, EVEN IN FLORIDA: Living in Florida means autumn doesn’t always look like the picture-perfect scenes of falling red and golden leaves. Our palm trees don’t change color, and the air doesn’t always bring that classic crisp chill. But, even without the dramatic shifts, autumn still fills me with happiness and warmth—and maybe that makes me appreciate it even more. For me, autumn is more of a  feeling  than a season. It’s that subtle shift in energy when the summer heat finally begins to ease up, and evenings become just a little cooler. It’s the excitement of pumpkin spice season, cozy candles, and the thought of the holidays slowly approaching. 🌻 Even without the changing leaves, I find ways to create autumn magic around me. A favorite pumpkin latte, a new cozy blanket, or the smell of cinnamon and apple candles filling the room can instantly put me in that fall mindset. 🍂 How do you bring autumn into your home when the out...

🌞 Good time of day, Sunshines!!! ✨ Happy Friday!!! ✨ Lately, I’ve been feeling uncertain about the kind of future we, as human beings, are heading toward. Shocking, right? From a religious perspective, Earth was created for us. Yet, somewhere along the way, we’ve lost many of the qualities that make us original—unique individuals. Instead, we rely on AI for almost everything: from a quick recipe, to song lyrics, to entire short stories or novels. The whole meaning of being original seems to be fading. With the overwhelming amount of voices online—blogs, YouTube videos, social media—it’s tempting to let machines decide what we say or create. Following trends often feels like the easiest solution. But here’s the thing: what kind of creator are we if everything we make is just a copy of something else? Don’t get me wrong, I’m not above asking ChatGPT to edit this post after I write it in my own words. 😉 This actually came from a conversation I had with my boyfriend the other day. We ...

The Benefits of Expanding Your Horizons Good time of day loves!!! I hope your day, better yet week is going and went great!! Today, I will be talking on why it's important to expand your horizons...    As I hope we all know, life is full of opportunities for growth but sometimes we keep ourselves in a small, comfortable bubble.  YOU KNOW THE SAVE SPOT, MOST PEOPLE LIVE IN...  It’s safe, familiar, and predictable — but it can also limit our potential.  Expanding your horizons means stepping beyond what you already know and opening yourself up to new experiences, people, and ways of thinking.  & The rewards can be life-changing. 1. Personal Growth and Self-Discovery When you try new things — whether it’s learning a skill, traveling to a new place, or joining a different social group — you discover new sides of yourself. You learn what you’re capable of, what excites you, and even what challenges you. These experiences help you grow into a stronger, mo...

It’s the invisible force that lifts you when you've fallen flat. It’s that inner voice urging you forward when every fiber of your being wants to quit. I know this all too well. In my early therapy days, I often questioned whether all those sessions were worth it. Every aspect of life felt like an obstacle. But one thing kept me going: I’m stubborn, and I refuse to take "no" as an answer—when it makes sense, of course. Here’s what helped me stay persistent: A clear vision: I always had a specific goal for the next few years. Fai...
