today’s mantra: i will work on my broken parts so i don’t continue to live my life in broken pieces.
the saying goes, “if you don’t heal what hurt you, you’ll bleed on those who never cut you.” i had never heard that saying prior to a few years after my divorce. it is one of the truest statements i’ve ever tried to conquer.
if you don’t heal what hurt you, you’ll bleed on those who never cut you.

how do we #love again once we have been hurt? i jumped right into #dating apps after my divorce. i swiped and swiped and swiped and dated and swiped. i was trying to cure the lonely with friendly voices. however, i hadn’t put in the work to heal. it took me years to figure that out. nearly close to a decade honestly.
and now? i know. and i am okay waiting in a space created for my healing. #divorce is a #trauma of the heart. if you have or are going through it, hugs to you. seek #therapy . seek out a good friend or two. try not to involve everyone in the details of your ups and downs – only trust the trusted. it is your #healing journey – make sure to involve the right support team.
If you carry joy in your heart, you can heal any moment.
Carlos Santana, singer songwriter
pain is real. it hurts. it can not only hurt us. it can affect our loved ones – for years – if we do not fix the broken parts inside us. we must put in the work on ourselves so we can more fully love others around us.
how are you doing on the #selflove work? are you putting in the time? invest in yourself and your future relationships. 🤍 #dothework

unicorn city news update
recently, i ordered a postcard box from Etsy to shop comps – it was cute enough but sort of underwhelming. the products were dollar store products – no probs bc it served it’s purpose. when i tackle a box subscription, i want to ensure to deliver quality cuteness. the package i ordered was magical in it’s own way…
also, i ordered a diff original watercolor art postcard – love this one. the message was typed on a typewriter. framed it on my desk.
i made another couple postcards to have sent my way as testers. it is almost time to get the December postcard sent out. very much excited about that! trying to decide what message to send.
The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams.

NEWS!!! an e-calendar has been born! some work friends showed me the ways of the e-calendar this Fall. i was VERY MUCH a paper planner sort of person. but now, not so much! i have begun to live de-cluttering my space by going with electronic bots on the good notes app vs a million baby yellow post its everywhere. #iykyk
the calendar is cute and evolving! i love it of course bc all of my little unicorn city characters are in there as stickers. i added original quotes by Claudius T. Sprout as well as mental health quotes. Here is a link if you would like to check it out! I am working on the 2022 calendar. Testing mode…every day i think up a new think to improve it.
the e-cal has a habit tracker for each week. last week the habit i wanted to improve on was walking 30 min daily. i have walked 6 of the 7 days and am about to pop out on walk 7 of 7! it feels good to be doing good things. hopefully my efforts help others some day – for now they are helping me lol!
what is something you dream of doing? are you doing it? if not, what holds you back? take one step today in the direction of your dreams…you’ll be that much closer.
love from Cali xoxo
