Living by the sunshine

Good time of day beauties! & With that… the last year of my 20s will be over in a little over a month. This decade for me has been filled with beautiful moments, good times, hard times, and seasons that tested me beyond measures. My 20s were not at all what I imagined they would be. I remember sometime in my late teens I had planned everything out: I would get my bachelors by 20, my masters by 24. Sometimes life doesn’t work by our schedule. Sometimes we have to just let go of who we thought we were going to be to walk into our ideal, destined-to-be self. As this decade comes to a close, I’m not looking back at it with regret, but with gratitude. To both myself pre-TBI & the version of me who survived what she didn’t think she could. If my 20s taught me something, it is to never give up on yourself. It taught me that community is very important as well as keeping the light kind. Your stories can give hope to others going through the same situations. Trust me, as I enter my 30s,...

  ¡Buen día, bellezas! Y con esto… el último año de mis veintes terminará en poco más de un mes. Esta década para mí ha sido llena de momentos hermosos, buenos tiempos, tiempos difíciles y etapas que me pusieron a prueba más allá de lo imaginable. Mis veintes no fueron para nada lo que imaginé que serían. Recuerdo que en mi adolescencia lo tenía todo planeado: tendría mi licenciatura a los 20 y mi maestría a los 24. A veces la vida no funciona según nuestro horario. A veces simplemente tenemos que soltar a quien pensábamos que íbamos a ser para convertirnos en nuestra versión ideal, nuestra versión destinada. Al cerrar esta década, no miro hacia atrás con arrepentimiento, sino con gratitud. Tanto a la "yo" de antes de mi lesión cerebral (TBI), como a la versión de mí que sobrevivió a lo que pensó que no podría. Si mis veintes me enseñaron algo, es a nunca rendirse con uno mismo. Me enseñó que la comunidad es muy importante, así como mantener viva la luz interior. Tus historia...

  Good time of day!!!  HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! I hope you all had an amazing time! I also hope you find yourself ready to grow and become the best version of yourself this year!!  Let’s start with this reminder: beginning the year with a positive mindset matters—but if you haven’t quite found your groove yet, that’s okay. You still have 360 days left to try, adjust, restart, and get it right. There is no deadline on becoming who you’re meant to be. And if you ever need a cheerleader—someone to encourage you, push you, and remind you of your strength—I am here. 😁✨ Before we go any further, I want to ask you something— When you picture this year coming to an end, how do you want to feel? Stronger? More at peace? Proud of how far you’ve come? More aligned with who you truly are? Sometimes the most important changes begin with simply asking ourselves the right question. For me personally, I’ve declared this year the year of “NEW.” New beginnings. New goals. New courage. New ...
