  • Some days you will be productive and others you won’t be. And that is okay! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Yesterday I read a quote that said “You’re not working from home: you’re trying to get work done at home in extraordinary circumstances.” And it was the permission I needed. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ P.S. more photos of good dogs will be coming in the feed because they are really bringing me joy.
  • ✨ Taking extra long daily walks has given me the opportunity to explore new neighborhoods that I hadn’t been to before. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Still daydreaming about this cute little house I stumbled on last week. ✨
  • I loved what @veronicabeard had to say about this. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “You’re not stuck at home. You’re safe at home. One word can change your attitude.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Hope you are all staying safe at home. 💛🛋🛁 Share this in your stories to remind your favorite people to stay home.
  • 💛 TAKE IT SLOW 💛 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The past couple weeks have really given me time to take things a little slower. Today I woke up and finished a book, cooked breakfast, and took @stanleydoodlegram on a long walk. Although, I can’t wait for things to return to normal I am trying to enjoy some of these slow moments, and be grateful for them.
  • ARE YOU STAYING CREATIVE?! ✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Staying indoors doesn’t mean you can’t get creative. Here are a few of the ways I plan to get creative this weekend. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ❣️ make up my own yoga flow practice ❣️ take photos ❣️ make my own craft cocktail ❣️ learn to needlepoint
  • 📚 BURIED IN BOOKS 📚 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Who else has been spending some extra time reading over these past couple weeks? I am looking to add to my reading list so let me know what you are reading too.
  • 💛 LET’S LIFT EACH OTHER UP 💛 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I know we are all feeling stressed, anxious, afraid, and just generally unsettled. But I want to bring a little light into your day. Share one thing that is bringing you joy in the comments and let’s lift each other up! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For me it’s FINALLY finishing my course and getting ready to share it all with you. Pre-quarantine I kept putting this off, even though it was something I was so so passionate about. But having the world turn a little bit upside down gave me the motivation to really turn to things that are bringing me joy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Can’t wait to read what is lifting you up. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Mural by @brookesmartillustration found at @mavendistrict
  • ✨ DO WHAT FEELS RIGHT ✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Last week really flipped things upside down for me and I know for a lot of you too. Which is why I wanted to remind you to do what feels right and best for you. Maybe it’s waking up and working out or maybe it’s cookie dough for breakfast. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There is no one right way to navigating everything that is going on. Be kind and enjoy the little things. 🍪
