Lately-ish.

Oh, heyyyy. A bit behind!😯🥰

September & October (2024) vibes from the camera 📸 roll.🙌🏼 Oh boyyyy, where to begin?🤔 Well, for starters, it’s been quite nice to step away from the frequency of phone/social media use for the past however long. So much to say & yet I’ll keep this one short (ish 🥲) &, of course, full of goodness.💐✨

Change has been constant in my life for what feels like years now… the winds 🌬️ just keep on breezin’ 😌 & occasionally gustin’ 😮‍💨, & something tells me they’re not quite finished 😂. 

As shared before, I’ll bet many of us can relate to feeling lost yet completely aligned.🛤️ Here we are again, & it’s become the new normal.😦😇

Lovely Vegan 🌱 is now three years old! Yeeee!

This last year has been less about content creation & mostly about prioritizing my life & family for all that we’ve experienced ☺️, endured 😯, & enjoyed 🥹!🤲🏼🌟💫

The creative 🎨 rhythm 🎶 that runs through my soul is always flowin’ 🪄🎼 — I hope to be back sometime soon to continue my passion of compassionized “service media” 🤝 on a more consistent basis — in the meantime, we’re still vibin’ 🎵 daily in IG stories & on Threads.🤠 It’s been nice to have as a kind of journal.🥲📝📓

A message for you on the other side of the screen 📱… my sister 🤝… my brother 🤝… my family 🤝…

Whatever winds 💨 you’re workin’ through, keep pressing forward.👣💯 If you feel a bit lost, hang in there, pray, have faith in YOUR purpose, believe in Divine guidance, & allow God to unfold the details.🌌

It’s been said that God 🌞 can make a lot more of ourselves than we can; I testify to this 1000% & continue to watch this happen in my own life. I find myself continuing the practice of strivin’ to be thrivin’ in the present moment, in the unknown.✨🍃👀🍃✨

I have gone through some super hard stuff, thankful God keeps me going. I fall down, stand up, brush off, continue forward, & then fall down again. It’s a beautiful process called LIFE.😂🥴🥹🥰🔄❤️

May we lead with LOVE by sharing LOVE with one another, animals, & ALL! It is indeed what matters most.❤️💯❤️💯

We are ONE ☝🏼 FAM.

ONE under the SUN/SON.🌞

YOU FOREVER ♾️ BELONG & YOU FOREVER ♾️ MATTER.🌎🤝🌍🤝🌏 That’s what the beating 💓 sound in your chest tells you every moment of every day.⏰📆

I LOVE YOU! And no, I don’t have to know you to feel this, know this, & tell you.🤗❤️

YOU ARE LOVED BEYOND HUMAN COMPREHENSION.♾️🌞

Like we used to say at SoulRise Tribe, “carpe diem” y’all! Sending big, big, big, BIG HUGS 🫂 to YOU.❤️

A little bit of July & August, including the Rock man 🐶 directing hotel 🏨 traffic 😁😎 & mismatched socks 🧦 & sandals 🩴 unintentionally matching my outfit.😆🥲

Man. I could go on & on about all the things relating to FAITH.🌞🌞🌞🌞

KEEP GOING‼️

Wherever you are, wherever you were, wherever you're going, continue to put one step in front of the other.👣💫

Pray often,

lean in,

ask,

seek,

trust,

& BELIEVE you are supported in all aspects of YOUR JOURNEY — because YOU ARE.🤲🏼🌞✨

We are ♾️ ONE.

All the love ❤️ & big hugs 🫂.

Until we meet again, our dearest Kuna.

Rest in peace, be whole, & be free, our dearest Kuna matata!🌸🪽🐕❤️

Kuna girl passed through the veil a few weeks ago, & I hadn’t felt ready to post about it until now. As shared previously, she made it to over 18 years old & has been with us since the beginning.

Kuna represents so many things in her chapter of life that enriched & blessed ours.🙏🏼

Sean & I became a family of three with Kuna as our first dog only a few weeks into dating.

We named her Kuna after “Hakuna Matata” because she was so chill & relaxed as a puppy, which couldn’t be further from her personality as she got older.😂😏🥰

Kuna was the first of what we call our “first generation of dogs,” which includes her, Nash, & Shylo.🐶🐶🐶 See second picture in carousel.😇

I know with my entire being that those two helped & greeted her through on the other side of the veil. I felt all three of them together at last the day she passed away.🌞

Kuna was such a strong dog! Never whined or fussed about much... our “second generation of dogs” (Atticus, Rocky, & Apollo) fuss about everything.🤣🤣😍🥲

Kuna was super smart & always knew how to trick the system. From using the kitchen stool to hop on the counter & steal cupcakes 🧁, to opening the bread 🍞 drawer, to sneaking out of our apartment to a bakery 🥯 & returning later after we spent hours searching & worrying about her.

She is who she is & marched to her very own beat of her own drum 🥁.

Kuna, we love you forever ♾️ & ever, sweet angel. You are always in our hearts & in our thoughts. We will see you, Nash, & Shylo again soon at Rainbow 🌈 Bridge... never to be parted again.🫂🐾💯✨

May & June recent vibes from the camera roll 📲 are overdue.🧳🕺

Lots of divine timing & blessings in this chapter of our journey. Healing spaces in beautiful places.🤲🏼🌟💫🌄

I loved our time here. The birds 🐦 chirped every morning, & the cool air breezed 🌬️through the mountains ⛰️ almost every evening.

The dogs 🐕 enjoyed lots of time in the grass “making friends” with squirrels 🐿️ by staring them down.😂🥰

I finished working in the temple 🌸 & will forever ♾️ value my time there. A blessing beyond measure.💯✨

These last pages of the “in between” could be summarized as FAITH OVER EVERYTHING… & I mean everything!📝📖

Pray, pray, pray.🙏🏼

Endure, endure, endure.😅

Believe, believe, believe.🫶🏼

And keep moving forward.😇

If you’re in a part of YOUR journey that feels uncertain, look up & trust the only source that can offer certainty: GOD.🌞

ALL THE LOVE ❤️ & BIG, BIG, BIG HUGS 🫂. 

A double birthday.

A double birthday 🎉!🙋🏼‍♀️❤️🐕 I met this sweet soul when I was 18 years old, and now she’s 18(‼️) & I'm double that (you can do the math 🧮, haha)!😆🥲 

WHAT. How? When? Where does the time go?🙏🏼✨

Grateful for Kuna. She has been a part of half my life on this planet.🥹 I love you beyond measure, Kuna Matata!🌸🌺🌼 We gals have to stick together in a home full of guys!😂🥰

SEEKING INNER PEACE...

---

A much-needed reminder, indeed!😯☺️✔️ Remembering where to turn for inner peace is a constant journey — an imperfectly perfect path of growth.🛤️🌹🥀

It’s normal to find ourselves struggling to turn inward for peace when, for whatever reason, we feel a dominating inclination to turn outward.🫨

Just keep going & keep pushing to go inward, no matter how much your ego convinces you otherwise. And if you don’t achieve the inner peace we all are seeking, BE KIND TO YOUR MIND about it‼️💯

BE PATIENT & GRACEFUL with yourself no matter what‼️💯

“For every one that asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened.”🌟💫✨

👉🏼HOME WITHIN = GOD.

👉🏼GOD = TRUE INNER PEACE.

Growth, peace, & cultivating a home within are marathons, not sprints. More like ultramarathons, haha. Welcome to our journey called LIFE.🙌🏼🎢😲🥹🫣🥰🥴😏😵😌

…repost…

I’m a big believer of “BE-ing HOME” & dwelling there as often as possible! And we ALL possess this holy space within.🌞 It’s your pure, inherent essence as a living soul in this world. Before you reach outward to find peace, wait… GO INWARD.❤️

Cultivating inner peace is invaluable to our overall wellbeing. No amount of anything in the material world can come close to measuring our eternal connection within. Our oneness with God, love, creation, & all of life.🤝💫

This peaceful sanctuary silences the noise of the world & goes beyond time & space. It’s your “home” that is truly untouchable from the outside world.🙏🏼🪻

Seek within.

Nurture within.

Go there, dwell there, & heal there.✨

Be peaceful. Be home.🤲🏼🤲🏾🤲🏽🤲🏿🤲🏻

Love you, love you, love you, fam!🫂🌎🌍🌏

March & April recent vibes from the camera roll 📲 are overdue. The current chapter 📖 of life is STILL “in between” while living in an Airbnb.🧳🕺

Current feeling? GRATEFUL.💯

Mixed with uncertainty, yet very FAITHFUL.😐🥲 Tired, yet quite RESILIENT.🥴😌 Nervous, yet super EXCITED.😬😍 Lost, yet completely ALIGNED.😵‍💫😇

Sending love to everyone with an important reminder from a recent 2024 vibin’ story post 🌻:

If you are going through any sort of trial (when are we not? ), please, please, please hang in there & know that you’re never alone & everything will be okay.💯

Remember that you have made it this far by overcoming previous obstacles, & I promise you that you will overcome the current ones you face.💯

Wherever you are, take a quick breath with me. This journey is not a walk in the park, but we will make it through the ups, downs, & in-betweens together.🤝🌞

“These things I have spoken unto you, that in me you might have peace. In the world you shall have tribulation, but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”

BIG HUGS 🫂 & ALL THE LOVE ❤️.
