Hi!! I’m here and alive! A blog isn’t much of a blog if you don’t blog on it, huh? Time to get this going again… So, this blog is supposed to be about my own life and spiritual journey. So how have things been lately? Whew… Life! There’s always something, isn’t there? 😉 Life has […]
Whew… It has been quite the emotional few weeks here in the Allen household. Life hits you hard sometimes, and you just have to roll with the punches and let those emotions wash over you. I’ve been extremely overwhelmed with life lately. Being a mama and wife has its challenges, and you go through phases […]
I’m sitting here literally in tears as I witness the atrocities going on in the world around us. I’m just done. Fucking done. It’s all so overwhelming. I feel so helpless. I just keep hoping and praying that the world around me is going to change for the better, but it just keeps getting worse. […]
I have to admit – I’ve been dealing with some control issues lately. I feel like there is a lot going on in my life right now that I have no control over. Things that I would like to change but can’t due to extenuating life circumstances. I’m working on remembering that I am always […]
Don’t postpone joy. When we first moved to Asheville, I’d notice these bumper stickers all around town that said “Don’t postpone joy.” They were very simple – white stickers with blue lettering. Such a simple, yet profound thought. I later learned that these bumper stickers are the creation of Asheville’s late Laurey Masterton, a woman/author/entrepreneur […]
I’m about a month back into work, and I’m doing (surprisingly) great!  Of course, if life were ideal and simple and I had the opportunity to stay home and cuddle my baby all day long, I would, but that’s not our reality and that’s ok.  I really love my job, and it feels really good to […]
The Cards. Ok, so this is my favorite. Â Since learning about the cards, I have become a bit obsessed. Â I’ve seen so many insane correlations and connections between the cards and what’s going on in my life and the lives of those around me. When I say “the cards”, I’m referring to an ancient card […]
(So yes, I’m still pregnant.  Yes, I’m still baby crazy and it’s all I think about.  But I’m still going to try to get back to regular blogging about all the different things on my soul. 🙂 ) I wanted to take some time today to talk about something I’ve been learning about over the […]
Sometimes, life is hard. Â Really, really hard. We get a bad diagnosis. The bills keep coming but the money doesn’t. The test is negative…again. We’re separated from those we love. We make a mistake that brings major consequences into our lives. Dreams and plans don’t seem to follow through. We have deep pain and sadness, […]
Through reading and studying The Desire Map by Danielle LaPorte, I’m learning that happiness, joy, and contentment come from feeling how you want to feel more often than not. Â How do you want to feel in life? Â What are you doing everyday to help you feel that way more? Â Or perhaps, constantly? Here’s Danielle: I’ve […]
