Rediscovering Intentionality

Now that I've moved through the grieving process after my miscarriage, it's time to get my life back on track. I'm finding myself floating through my days, directionless. This month I'm rediscovering intentionality: intentionality in my phone/social media use, my diet/exercise, my housekeeping and downtime.

Bad things happen to us that rock our world, and it can be difficult to deal with them and move on with life. My miscarriage threw a wrench in my plans and I'm finding it hard to get back on the horse.

I wanted to get this update out sooner but I got the rona and then suffered a miscarriage. It's been a hard month but I'm trying to use some strategies I learned through the gratitude challenge to bounce back. Love to you all ♥️

Welcome to day 14 of the Valentine's Gratitude Challenge. We made it! Today we are celebrating our Valentines. If you're unattached, you can pick whoever is your Valentine, whether it's your bestie, your mom, your kid, maybe your dog. Whoever. Maybe you can reflect about an ideal partner.

Today's prompt is to reflect on your mind. How does your brain power and thought process make your life better?

Today's prompt is to show gratitude for the best day of your life. We reflected on a difficult experience yesterday, so we're balancing it out with something positive.

Today we're going to reflect on a difficult experience and express some gratitude for that experience.

Today we are showing love for our siblings. If you have multiple, you can pick one or all of them. If you had no siblings, maybe you had someone who was like a sibling you can show some appreciation for, or, maybe you can reflect on the best things about being an only.

Day 9 of the Valentine's Gratitude Challenge. Today's prompt is to show some love for your dad. Dad's are just the best, aren't they? A strong male role model is important for both girls and boys. I know in my own family, my husband and I balance each other out in so many ways, and parenting would be so difficult with just one of us. As with yesterday, if your own dad wasn't up to snuff, you can pick a father figure that filled that role. Or maybe you can find one thing your dad did do for you, even if that was to show you how not to treat someone. You decide.

Day 8 of the Valentine's Gratitude Challenge. Today we are showing gratitude for our mamas. I never really understood my mom until I became a mother, and then you just get it. We do the best we can, and we realize our mom did she best she could. I understand some of you may not have had the best mothers, so feel free to recognize a mother figure or someone who stepped into that role.
