So my wish for my birthday is that something lift me up, I want to be my own hero but how can I be?
Until next time,
Sad Stephanie H.
As today marks my 29th birthday, the day has been a rollercoaster of emotions mostly happy that is until I came home. Well back anyways a house isn't a home when you're constantly being yelled at. Even the yelling doesn't take a holiday. I just want to be the 29 year old adult I have grown to be, but I can't do that living where I am, and the bad part is that I can't afford to live anywhere else. I know I am always this positive person who is always giving advice (some of which I wish I could take myself) but today I feel like the lowest of lows and I don't know if I can get out of it.
So my wish for my birthday is that something lift me up, I want to be my own hero but how can I be? Until next time, Sad Stephanie H.

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. I want to start by saying it's never too early to chase your dreams and make your goals, in fact from personal experience I find that when I make my goals before the New Year and am able to get a routine down I actually tend to stick to and complete the goal I had set the year before.
How do I set my goals do you ask? Well I am going to tell you, I am a huge list maker I find that if I write it down it solidifies it and is a daily reminder to take a step every day to make it to my dream. Another way is to set reminders in your phone say if you want to save money for a trip that you want to take at the end of the year set a reminder in your phone every day with a picture that inspires you to save money for that trip. My next tip is to make a vision board of your goals and dreams for the year, it's another form of daily visual that will remind you to take a step in the right direction to make your dreams your own. And my last and final tip is to reflect each day, look back on what you did that day to get you one step closer to your goals. If you didn't do anything that day that's ok, don't beat yourself up tomorrow is a new day and a new opportunity to get you closer to the ultimate goal. Well I hope those tips helped you all and encouraged you to chase your dreams and accomplish your goals. I hope you all have an amazing night. Until next time, Stephanie H. Now that our Thanksgiving feast's are over let's all take a moment and look back on all the memories we made. Laughing until your bellies hurt and your eye's water, filling our bellies with the yumminess of the season, making conversation around the dinner table and feeling the stress of the holidays subside and fill with the happiness that we all crave.
I wish you all the best most amazing night and I hope that your day was filled with as much happiness as mine. One holiday down, one to go. Remember don't stress the only thing people are going to remember is the happiness you spread, not what you think you could have done. I hope that makes sense, but what I guess I am trying to say is don't stress and just remember that the most important things aren't the gifts you give but the memories you make. Have a wonderful night lovelies. Until next time, 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 |
