• First lemme just start off by saying 2020 has been such an amazing year for me so far. I have absolutely grown so much already and it’s barely March so I can’t wait to see how much more God has planned for me. It’s been such an eye opening year and I just know this is the year of growth and big things!
• It’s also spring break and on top of that we just got extended two extra weeks off due to the Coronavirus! So expect a lot from me these next two weeks because I tend to write a lot when I have nothing to do. (mostly because I sit in my feelings for too long, anyone else?) However, that is also when my best posts come to me so we shall see. Gosh, I really needed this break to get here though and now that it’s extended I’m so excited about all the extra stuff I’ll get to do. We just took a mini trip to Austin to just get away for a while and visit our friend Caleb which was a lot of fun! (My last blog post has all our pictures from the trip if you would like to check it out.) I’m going to use the rest of the break to just get my life together and catch up on everything. We need to remember to give ourselves breaks every now and then to just breathe and regather ourselves. Self care is important people! I will preach that till the end.
• My not so little brother turned 18 this week and I’m actually pretty emotional about it lol it’s just crazy to me how fast time flies by. I’m not ready for him to grow up. My youngest sister also turns 15 next year and I could cry. She’s the baby of the family and SHE’S GOING TO BE 15!!! Whaaaat..
• Overall, I’ve been feeling super overwhelmed with life lately so this break was definitely needed. I’ve just been resting and I feel like I can hop back on my feet again to keep going. For a while there, I really felt like there was too much on my shoulders and I ended up having to take stuff off my plate sadly, but it was a good reminder to not take on more than what we can handle. I often want to help too many people and do too many things at once and it leads to me being stressed out and overwhelmed so I need to work on that. I just always feel like I could be doing more, ya know? But I need do to it at a pace. I’m just sorta at this point where I feel like I’m doing a lot for others around me, but it’s not enough, so I keep trying to do more and it never works out. It’s tough being.. well, too caring, too loving. An empath. I’ve actually been super into researching more about empaths and it’s so interesting to read about and how much I relate to it. I’ve been researching a lot of things lately tbh and they all lead back to self care and self discovery.
• Also I’m going to be catching up on my reading during this time off so lemme know if y’all want some book recommendations or want me to review the books I read…hmm?
  

Also don’t forget to be washing your hands continuously and for 20 seconds!!
–Lots of Love, B.
