today’s mantra: i allow myself space to be fully where i am in each moment. 🙏🏽
Say what you wanna say and let the words fall out.
Sara Bareilles, singer/songwriter
some days we speak up. some days we turtle in our shells. our mood and confidence may even change by the minute. or maybe our gumption changes dependent upon the group we are with. in any situation we may encounter, we can feel peace knowing we are safe to speak or not speak. no pressure. all will come out in our own personally selected time frame.
well hello there! this is me. i just wanted to say hi and tell you a tiny bit about me. i am a single momma to beautiful babies. i work a busy day job. i love to write and read especially poetry like #shelsilverstein and #drsuess (and #bukowski but that’s my alter ego talking…). i dislike most tv but LOVE the office and longmire. 🤔 i always have a new idea for something to try or use or do…i am currently trying to build my little unicorn city here as it is my favorite place to be right now. this scene in particular reminds me of the final world in #shangchi !!! #iykyk
i have a passion for talking about mental health issues. i want to be a part of a movement that brings acceptance, awareness, and assistance to those suffering from mental health infirmities. i want to create relatable characters for adults and children. ☔️
How you love yourself is how you teach others to love you.
Rupi Kaur, poet
also, rainbows. 🌈 i have included rainbows in my art to support diversity and inclusivity of all kinds…sexual orientation, race, gender status, weirdness…all unicorns welcome! 🙏🏽
one thing i have learned in my writings and life experience is that the #lgbtq community is SO SUPPORTIVE of each other. truly, love is the guiding principle in lgbtq groups and forums. i want to be a part of spreading real love for others no matter their status, religion, etc etc. hoomans loving hoomans. 🤍
i am vocal about seeking professional mental health assistance. if our physical bodies are out of shape, we hire a physical trainer. if our minds our out of sync, we need therapists. i have one that challenges me to grow. as a #parent i think having a #parentingcoach for your #family is a great idea. i am a #singlemom so that amplifies my need to have another person to talk things through with. HBU?
Your self worth is determined by you. You don’t have to depend on someone to tell you who you are.
Beyoncé Knowles, singer-songwriter
today i love me. it’s been a long journey to that statement. life has it’s twists and turns ups and downs as you well know. i hope you are at a stage where you can say “i love me” and mean it and believe it. if not, that’s okay. it’s a process, a journey. we’ll work on ourselves together, mmmkayy?
so that’s a little about me! thx so much for following along!
OM is the mantra that is believed to be the sound of the universe. studies have found that chanting OM can help to fund peace and calm and feelings of social inclusion. the sound of OM frees the mind to release anxieties by focusing on deepening the breath. 🌬
Connection: I define connection as the energy that exists between people when the feel seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive judgement; and when they derive sustenance and strength from a relationship.
Brené Brown
we are all connected together on this earth and in this universe. our purposes are intertwined. how will we affect the world around us today? what energy will emit from us to others?
HBU? what techniques do you use to calm yourself in a stressful social situation? 💜
today’s mantra: i will reach out to others in an effort to build human connections and minimize my screen time. 🥸
WOW we survived the social media blackout! 😜 did you download any new apps? start glitching due to addiction withdrawals? chat with a hooman?
I would absolutely love to go back to the simplicity of the 80s where there wasn’t texting, social media, iPhones, or smartphones. I love the fact that you would go home and check your messages. I’m not well suited to the world of modern technology.
Matthew Rhys, actor
statistics evidence that social media may be a link to increasing mental health problems. 🤔 i know that i spend too much time scrolling. HBU? do you have a healthy relationship with your social media accounts? take a walk. scrub a floor. find a friend. hop off your screen and smile. 🦄
today’s mantra: i will be more tolerant of those in my path today acknowledging that all people are facing challenges of some sort.
and just like that #generalmills and #targetfinds have chosen to create #mentalhealthawareness in their #marketing. i definitely did a double take walking down the aisle. my favorite marketing is awareness marketing that shares #love for a customer.
What the world needs now is love sweet love.
Hal David, Songwriter
we ALL have our things. if we approach others with more compassion and less #karen tendencies we may just be able to show a bit more #kindness and truly change the world around us.
our words can make or literally break someone’s day or week or more. so, when we open our mouth today let us think first. unleashed harshness however unintentional can make a huge difference in the course of someone’s mental state. lift up and be lifted. ⬆️
today’s mantra : i pledge to slow down and listen to others while equally requesting others to slow down and listen to me. 🙏🏽
one day mid-pandemic and #blm a distraught woman came into my office at work. she was explaining her situation. she was lost and depressed and sad. she stated, “i need u to see me.” i simply replied, “i see you.”
Most people do not listen with the intent to understand. Most people listen with the intent to reply.
Steven R. Covey
wouldn’t we all feel so much better if we slowed down to ‘see’ others around us? really see them…their pain, their hard times, their sadnesses?
equally, wouldn’t it feel amazing to be ‘seen’ in every conversation? our anxieties clear. our hesitations felt. our secrets accepted.
it’s all about #love don’t you think? just more love. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
today’s mantra: i will take one fairy sized step in the direction of a goal today in an effort to feed my soul it’s soul food. 🎂
halloween postcards are here! i feel like I threw a design together quickly to print up BUT I DID IT and that’s the ticket. 🎃 putting cute unicorn friends together with mental health verbiage is a trick but #challengeaccepted !!! i am happy to have these printed up even if i may have no real idea where they are going…??? 😜 all things in good time i suppose.
A dream is a wish your heart makes.
Lily James
HBU? what is your dream goal? how are you going to take one step towards it today?
when we invest time into our goals and dreams we begin to become our own manifestors of our divine potential. the action of following our soul’s purpose brings light to our hearts and pulls us from the dark spaces we may find ourselves in from time to time. Find your soul’s food. Find your inner light. 💡
today’s mantra: i will choose to seek out the good that crosses my path today.
the messages of light and goodness are there for us daily if we choose to see them…a butterfly flitting by, a sun dog in the clouds, an a-ok sign on a building.
Where intention goes, energy flows.
James Redfield
our energy vibrations will attract what we are putting out there into the universe. be good. do good. and good will flow back to you. 🌈🦋✨
we can’t always have “on” days. some days are “off”. it’s on those days that we need to pull ourselves to center and step out of the house in whatever character we need to be to get the tasks of the day completed.
All the world’s a stage, and the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances.
William Shakespeare
it’s okay to smile and not be okay. find a friend. have a chat. hug yourself. take another step forward.
today’s mantra: i will allow myself the permission to play a character role today if i need to.
well i am printing up some postcards today! it feels like a tiny bit of progress…actually HUGE progress. everything about a small business is leaps of faith on top of leaps of faith by plus consistency. i am learning so much!
if you are a new friend, thanks for stopping by! see you again soon.
He is a unicorn who loves to voyage on adventures to see the world. He especially loves to let his wild hairs fly free in ocean breezes. He loves crashing waves.
Life sometimes crashes all around us. Time in nature soothes the soul. Deep breaths remind us to stay centered and grounded to our eternal purpose on this earth journey.
