There are three reasons why walking alone in empty

There are three reasons why walking alone in empty places—or nearly empty places—has helped me lately. 🌸✨
⁠
▶️It's a way to easily social distance because no one's really around. ⁠
⁠
▶️I can appreciate the moment and the beauty of the day. (I mean, look at the flowers in this pic I took. 😍) ⁠
⁠
▶️And I can feel normal, at least for a bit. ⁠
⁠
Are you finding activities that bring you peace? If you're not, consider *scheduling* the time. And do tell me what you're planning!⁠

Heard of this savings strategy? It's my secret to

Heard of this savings strategy? It's my secret to stashing cash for lots of things—though not as secret since I shared for @BusinessInsider. #flashingback⁣⁠
⁠
▶️Unfortunately, we can't go to Europe now from the United States—or really move about freely. But, if we’re lucky enough to be working, and to be able to save some extra money, this mind and money trick can be a way to save for education, debt reduction, a “freedom fund,” and more. (I once used it to fund travel to Europe, across three countries, for a month.)

▶️Even with $20, $50, or $100 at a time. We CAN do it.

▶️Feel free to save this to remember later (link’s in my bio). I'm behind on sharing content here, but I'm STILL successfully using this strategy. ⁠Have a happy Friday! ⁣⁠✨

"It's okay to rest for a moment. Gather yourself.

"It's okay to rest for a moment. Gather yourself. Plan." Things I said to myself this past month with so much going in the country and the world. Anyway, I'm baaack. Looking forward to new activities on my social media accounts and in life as I navigate DC. Wishing you a good July (if you're actually seeing this) and talk soon. 😘⁣⁠

There is a lot to deal with now. And yet, blessings, too. No matter how I feel, thankful is on the list. Hello, June. 🌿#gratefulheart

People in the United States are heartbroken. Exhau

People in the United States are heartbroken. Exhausted. My heart is heavy. I’m tired of racism. Tired of black people being murdered by police in the United States. George Floyd. So many others. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Tired of mistreatment based on bias. Tired of crime in general. There was a horrible spate of shootings in Chicago recently. Tired of so much. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Protests make sense to me. You speak up when you see injustice. You take action. But the looting, destruction, and related acts...those are not okay with me. ⁣
⁣
“A riot is the language of the unheard,” said Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., also saying that he affirmed “another way” and “social justice.” It’s all so very layered. ⁣⁣Found this photo I took of the National Museum of African American History and Culture. Black people’s history in this country goes back to slavery. And yet, we’ve persevered. And we will persevere. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I’m not entirely sure what I want to say right now but doing it anyway. We’re dealing with a pandemic. This is a disaster. This country has to do better. Be better.⁣ ⁣Trusting God now and always. Heart is heavy. Tears. But I still have faith in what is good. 💔🖤 ⁣

You matter. No matter your race, ethnicity, or any

You matter. No matter your race, ethnicity, or any specific characteristic. The news this week has been frustrating and sad, in part. Take time to process and take action, if you can. But please don’t let this darkness dim your light. 🌟

This is a pretty memorial. But it stands for somet

This is a pretty memorial. But it stands for something hard fought. Today in the United States we observe Memorial Day. I took this pic last year; swipe to see what each star stands for. Now, I’m thinking of those in the U.S. military who died while serving. And wishing you a safe and peaceful day. 🌟

When you’ve just seen it’s GEMINI SEASON, and you’re stoic outside, but inside you’re like...🥳😆💃🏽[Swipe!]
P.S. Going to the top of these Spanish towers, which began to be constructed in 1392, was worth celebrating. If you ever go to Valencia—when we can travel again—do take the stairs all the way to the top. And enjoy. #thesilliness #flashbackpic #yay

Treasuring this brief time to feel the breeze...and breathe. 🥰

Social distancing continues for me, and I’ve been wearing my mask when I (rarely) venture out to stores and things. But taking this walk for exercise—with no one nearby—felt amazing. This air, and being present in it, seemed especially sweet. Have you caught any sunshine as we’re home more these days?

Felt sad earlier, I confess. Have gotten some melancholy news. But I’m also thankful. When I look out on life, the view is good. And I have faith that good things will still happen.💃🏽 #tbt #appreciatethislife

Remembering this day and appreciating my beautiful

Remembering this day and appreciating my beautiful, smart, amazing mother! Happy Mother’s Day to all of the mothers, aunts, grandmothers, and those who are “like” moms and offer us guidance. I’ve had some *amazing* women in my life. And if today is hard for you, I am sending you 🖤, too.
