As life moves along, I find myself less apt to post, so if you see this, please wave a hand or say hello! So much has happened recently and I am doing my best to be present and in gratitude, even as I tackle challenges within and without. There is so much to be grateful for, and I thank God for that! 🙏
A few honorable mentions, Krystal and I shared our 7th anniversary this month, and we leave soon to go celebrate our baby moon for sweet girl #2 in Cancun! Truly, watching Krystal as a mom, and being parents together, is both blessing and helpful in creating inner growth and development. It isn't always easy being a parent and prioritizing marriage, relationships, faith and self-love in the important ways one needs and wants, all while running my real estate business and serving friends and clients in such a meaningful way.
Self-love for me in this season looks like getting in the Bible more, working out more, committing to some specific goals and dreams in my biz, and being aware of self-talk and giving myself both the grace I hope and like to extend to others, as well as the ownership it takes to have direction and applied purpose in work and life. What does self-love look like for you in this season of your life? What's one thing you could do today, or this week, to add to that cup? May it overflow.
Vulnerably, I don't often take time to look at myself and say "good job" in my life or my career, at least not as often as I look and see what I could have done that I didn't. This is despite there being cause for celebrating big and small wins, and appreciating the heart that leads me forward best I am able. I am always wanting to improve, and surely have room for more freedom and growth in all realms. Today, I am reminded that I am loved, and valuable, and that the gifts and desire to serve that God has put in me, is just an extension, an overflow of that inner knowing, that core belief.
When I take time to think of the wonderful gift that my wife is, that Makaiah is, the joy that I get from being a dad and for the gift that my family is, when I breathe in that reality, so much joy...Grateful to be on this journey and living this life I'm blessed to live.
