On the night before my birthday I never usually feel this calm, the emotions I usually feel is sadness, loneliness even, but this year I have a sense of calm, a sense of belonging and a sense of being wanted. There is only one other person other then my son who can put a smile on my face and make me the happiest I have ever been.

I was on social media earlier and stumbled upon a discussion about children and fitness well to be exact children and wearable fitness trackers. One mother brought up a good question "why does a child need a wearable fitness tracker?" Well if your child is anything like mine they want to be just like mommy and daddy, I lead a very active lifestyle, going for weekend runs to the river or going to the gym at my apartments. My son has always wanted to join I to have had a fitness tracker for about 2 years now just to keep track of my own fitness goals and to keep me encouraged to keep going. My son every time we would go out for a run would ask me when we got home "mama how far did we go?" or "Mama how many steps did we take?" I would answer him and let him know and at that moment his eyes would light up and I could see how proud of himself he was (I am equally as proud). Recently I got him a fitness tracker of his own and he was over the moon his response was "Mama I'm just like you!"
So my answer to her question of "Why does a child need a wearable fitness tracker?" is they don't need one but if they ask for one why not? After all our children just want to be like us. Lead by example, your children watch who they want to become. Until next time, Stephanie H. Last night I pulled another late night uploading pictures I had taken earlier that day to a website that reviews and then post them for people to buy. I felt really good as I had upload 10 of my best photos in the hopes that at least 1 would be accepted giving me some hope in my freelance photography career.
When I woke up this morning, I first checked my e-mail and saw that I had indeed received one from that company. My heart skipped a beat but upon opening the e-mail the skip quickly turned into a sinking feeling as all my photos had been rejected. Their reason "These photos do not meet our community standards." They did however give me the option to upload more sets of photos but it got me thinking of how many people would have taken that rejection and given up. How many awesome photos is the world missing out on just because of websites like this. So my message to you is DON'T GIVE UP!!!!! Just because you get rejected by one company does not mean your work isn't any good, just change your view and your perspective and keep fighting because the world deserves to see what you create. Find your avenue!!! Until next time, Stephanie H. What would you do if your biggest fear came true? Would you run? Or would you face it head on and then look back and say "is that all you got?"
Would you curl up and cry yourself to sleep? My answer would probably be all of the above. See just like with grief, fear too is a multiple stage process, first you're afraid of what could happen. Then you face it and what you do next play's out how the final outcome will look. You can hit the ground running or you can hit the ground stumble and fall and then pick yourself up and dust yourself off. I tend to lean on the clumsy side of dusting myself off after crying my eyes out, curled up on my bed with a pint of Ben & Jerry's. My point to this post is that no matter what whether you hit the ground running after facing your fear or you have to pick yourself up and mend the pieces you will have conquered your fear and that my dear is something to be very very proud of. Until next time, Stephanie H. I keep having to remind myself that everything takes time and that there is a right place and a right time for everything. I keep telling myself that Rome wasn't built in a day, but even with all that when you are in a tight spot you want things to happen at a faster pace whether it's more money, a better job, or better health. You just have to keep pushing and keep moving everyday and remember that everything will happen in it's own time. After all you can't rush time and everything that is meant to be will be.
Well I hope you all enjoy this post and uplifts you during this busy day. Until next time, Stephanie H. Good afternoon everyone, I hope you all are having a wonderful Thanksgiving. I am just sitting here in deep thought thinking about all the shows I watch and how most of them revolve around women being rescued in one way or another. I'm always left thinking "why do they fight it?" "Who wouldn't want to be rescued by a handsome man?" But now I get it. It's not about who being rescued by someone but more about being able to rescue yourself. It's easy to be rescued by someone but the real strength comes from being able to dig down deep and fight to rescue yourself.
So that is exactly what I am doing rescuing myself, I know I have the strength to somewhere I just need to find it. My message to you is that if you don't think you can just dig deep, dive deep. You will be surprised at how much strength you can find that you didn't even know you had. I hope you all have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving. Stephanie H. Well it has been quite a journey for me i have had my ups and downs, I have established a wonderful fitness routine now if I will just cool down. I miss the cool weather and the beautiful colors of fall. My son is now in the first grade and will start school in 1 month exactly. I have been crocheting up a storm and have successfully opened my etsy shop (finally). I have also started writing a book which at first I wasn't going to publish but jave since changed my mind. Well I hope you all have an amazing Sunday, Stephanie 🤓🌲🌹🌻🌺 Also if you would like to visit my shop its etsy.com/shop/loopsandstones I have a really weird feeling today that something is going to happen. Do you ever get that feeling where you can sense something is about to happen before it actually does? I just hope that what ever it is that happens is something good. I have had so much bad stuff happen to me here lately and let's just say 2014 has been far from good for many of us.
I just keep telling myself to think happy thoughts. Well I hope you all have an amazing Wednesday. Love and hugs from my home to your's. Stephanie I started a new thing called geocaching today, well it may not be that new but it is new to me and even though I didn't find any caches it was pretty amazing. I got some pretty awesome photos and even found a baby bull frog that I showed my little guy and then let him go.
It rained a little bit off and on today but was so beautiful. Well I hope you all have an amazing Tuesday. Stephanie. Long time no blog, I have been super busy with my volunteer work while also searching for works. I do have to say it has been a bit stressful both mentally and physically and just needed to take a mental brake from everything, but enough about that I hope you all had an amazing 4th of July ( I will share pictures from our 4th down below) and I hope you all are having an awesome and safe summer.
I will try to start blogging more and adding more pictures from my weeks and days. I hope you all have an amazing Monday tomorrow. With much love and hugs from my home to your's. Stephanie |
