1.8.19~41 Things That Make Me Smile

HELLO BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE!


When I started this blog, I promised to be real and raw, no matter what that meant. That hasn't changed at all. I'm definitely still going to be real and raw, but real and raw doesn't always mean sad or hurting.
So today, I am going to make a list of things that make me happy, things that make smile. I have absolutely no idea how many things will be a part of this list, but I am going to list as many as I can think of. I wanted a really happy post that didn't involve a story of stress or whatever. I have been trying to be very positive and happy and encouraging to others and myself this week. I often find that when I try to keep myself focused on the happy and good things in life, the more calm and happy I am.
So without further talk, here is a list of things that make me smile:


1. puppies

A Life With Love is a Life That's Been Lived~12.29.23

      "It's been a year. And I ain't saying it ain't been a good one. It's been a did a lot more than I could one. It's been 365 record lows and record highs, loving and losing, fun and confusing, praying and shifting gears. For the minute you've got, it's probably a lot more than you wanna hear. So all I'll say is, it's been a year."           -Ashely Cooke     For those of you who may not know, we lost my mom after a long battle with cancer on December 20. Some of you have walked alongside myself and my family in during all the way through her journey and some of you may not have. None the less, I feel as if it is my duty to share her story, her life, and her beauty through her story and her journey. So, feel free to stick around and read, though it might possibly be the longest post I've ever shared. ♥     On April 12, 2022, I was at work as if it was any other day. For me, it was. I vividly remember sitting in our "two...

Tuesday Evening Thoughts~11.14.23

 In 1855, a man by the name of Joseph M. Scriven, wrote a poem in order to comfort his mother. She was living in Ireland and he resided in Canada at the time. Joseph published this poem anonymously and never was recognized for it until almost thirty years later. Yet, this poem has become what we now know as the old hymn,  "What a Friend We Have in Jesus."        I often find myself hearing this song and thinking so deeply on the words of it. The depth of which this poem was written (later turned into a song) is something that as a young child I grew up singing in church as the average Sunday hymn. I never thought twice about the true meaning of it until I was much older and encountered things in life that taught me to rely on the Lord. None the less, I'd like to share what I've learned and what the Lord has showed me through this beautiful song.  "What a Friend We Have in Jesus" What a friend we have in Jesus, All our sins and griefs to bear!...

12.31.18~Here's To 2019!

2019 is obviously upon us...it's a new year, hopefully of new things. I want to do new things. I want to try new things. I want to sing new songs. Meet new people. etc. etc. I'm excited to see where 2019 takes me and the special people in my life. I'm looking forward to seeing how God works in and through me! I want Him to use me in any ways He sees fit. I want Him to use my music, my blog, and my youtube channel for His glory. I have some goals and hopes for this next year, and I just wanted to share some of those with you. So the first thing that I am setting as a goal for 2019 is to simply "trust more. worry less." I often find myself worrying about all kinds of things, big and small. I want to trust Jesus more and worry a WHOLE LOT less. I don't want to worry about school, church, music, or anything. I want to learn to be more fluid and flexible. I definitely want to just release stress over things and just breathe. I want to be more in the moment and ...
