🧁🍰✋ HAPPY INTERNATIONAL LEFT-HANDERS DAY! 🎉✋

 ✋🎉 HAPPY INTERNATIONAL LEFT-HANDERS DAY! 🎉✋ 

August 13th is International Left-Handers Day—a special day for the roughly 10% of the world's population who have spent their lives smudging ink, bumping elbows at the dinner table, and wrestling with scissors that clearly weren't designed with them in mind. 😂 


Being left-handed isn't just about which hand holds the pen. Throughout history, lefties have been artists, inventors, leaders, musicians, and creative thinkers who looked at the world from a slightly different angle. 


So today we're celebrating the southpaws, the lefties, the backwards notebook writers, and everyone who's ever had to explain why their handwriting mysteriously disappears under their own hand. ✍️ 


Whether you're left-handed yourself or know someone who is, give a little shout-out to the folks keeping life interesting from the other side of the desk.

🌸 Mom's Journals, entry #5

🔥 Fan the Flames Reflections from My Mom’s Journals, post #5 “Set your life on fire. Seek those who fan your flames.” — Rumi I love this quote! And I love the little doodles in my mom’s journals , too. She was so creative, so artistic, and so full of joy. I miss her more than words can ever express. What I wouldn’t give for just one more day with her—sitting beside me in her physical form, or as she so playfully called it, her “ earth suit .” ✨ A Small Quote with Mighty Meaning I’m learning how to truly live out the wisdom packed into this small but powerful quote: “Seek those who fan your flames.” Why did I spend so much time with people who only wanted to dim my light—much less fan it? 💡 Choose the Right People Life is short. So incredibly precious. There’s no time to waste on people who don’t support your passion, your purpose, or your joy. 🔥 There’s no space for “ flame-blowers ” when you were born to burn bright. So light that sucker up—and keep it on high! ❤️ In Memory ...

🌸Mom's Journals, entry #16

🌸 Reflections from Mom’s Journals — Entry #16 🌸 You can’t give away what you don’t have. (often attributed to Wayne Dyer ) 🌸 Be the kind of person that leaves a mark, not a scar. (often attributed to Jay Shetty , original origin is unknown) 🌸 Love is not what you say, it's what you do. - John Hagee 🌸 No one knows enough to be a pessimist. (often attributed to Wayne Dyer) 💗 Love Isn’t What You Say—It’s What You Do Let’s have some real talk about love. Not the mushy Hallmark kind or the kind that shows up conveniently after someone screws up and needs to “smooth things over.” I’m talking about real love—the kind that goes beyond words and dives into action. We’ve all heard those three little words—“I love you.” They’re tossed around like confetti at a New Year’s Eve party. But how often do we stop and ask: What do those words actually mean? Spoiler alert: It’s not always what it seems. Sometimes people say “I love you” out of habit. Sometimes they say it to manipulate,...

🌸Mom's Journals, entry # 19

   🌸 Reflections from Mom’s Journals — Entry #19 🌸 Abundance flows when we love what we are doing. 🌸  Examine what I believe to be impossible… then change my beliefs. 🌸  Let my loving soul guide my behavior.  🌸  Forgiveness is the fragrance the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.  —Mark Twain 🌸  If your not doing what you love, you are wasting your time. ( widely attributed to Billy Joel ) 🌸  Forever is composed of NOWS! —Emily Dickenson 💭 Examine the Impossible  Examine what I believe to be impossible… then change my beliefs. Here’s a little trick I’ve learned: whenever something feels impossible , it’s usually just my brain doing its best dramatic performance, like it is auditioning for a soap opera. You know the type—“ Cue the violins, this project is clearly the end of me! ” But let’s be honest, most “impossible” things are just… big. Too big to swallow whole. So instead of brushing it off ( or chasing the ...
