life update

While taking another cup of water, I stood still in the kitchen the kitchen my husband and I and my ID, Aaron designed together oh, if this isn't nice, I don't know what is * my home, every item in this place, has its place and its mine the bed, the bathroom mat, the curtains, the flowers on our peninsular I'm so in love with my home right now.  --- *so happy I thought out loud that quote which I first read on Ali Abdaal's newsletter - you can read it here . It's from Kurt Vonnegut and the full quote reads:  "And I urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, 'If this isn't nice, I don't know what is." inserts face holding back tears emoji  🥹   I urge you to find these moments in your life too, and share them with me! Sending love, kindness and light, Bree

clocking the bad writing

if you're reading this, hi it's hard. writing is hard. I wish I had a story to tell today. but I don't or maybe I do I was thinking about how I didn't want to show up to the gym today I'm tired, I'm lazy but I booked an hour session and went with it that's how discipline is isn't it I'm totally not motivated to work out at all but I got it done same with writing not every piece of writing is going to be good I need to keep writing to clock the reps, get the bad ones in to get to the good ones. what's something you've been putting off?

"You are in danger of living a life so comfortable and soft that you will die without ever realizing your true potential" by David Goggins This message came up for me while doing my morning meditation. Yup, okay, I got the message. 

If that's all life gives me, I'll take it..

I have been wondering for a long time comparing me now to me in the past, in particular, the me who wrote consistently everyday. how did she do it? what frame of mind what she in? what was her why? what made her even write on holiday? I keep asking myself these questions but today, as I sat down to write, I thought,  the ebbs and flow of creative energy, writing energy, if that's all life gives me, I'll take it why question how it happened in the past? why not ask myself how to create the magic now and in the future. aiming for 1 post a day.  let's go fam!
