Breathe. Relax. Reflect.

Once in a while,
I have a lot to say.

Those posts usually end up nestling in the "On My Heart" category.
They're usually real, raw, and me unfiltered.
And sure—they're filed under "On My Heart,"
but they're more like little glimpses into my deepest thoughts...
a place where I like to breathe, relax and reflect.
That's where I came up with that little tagline for my posts like that—
—like this.

Actually, the tagline was born at the end of this post back in August.
One of my favorite's of all time.
In fact, during that time—not yet engaged, unsure about Daniel's new job, just waiting for things—
it was all I could do to write that post and say a little prayer to calm myself.
And you know what?
It helped.

It wasn't long after that when I was approached by Jasmine,
the owner, founder and mastermind behind Bama+Ry,
to see if I would wear one of her custom copper pieces.
I knew immediately which one was the most "me," and what I wanted mine to say.
Breathe. Relax. Reflect.

A custom piece. Just for me.
So special.

I've been doing a lot of thinking lately (nothing new there),
and boy... right now, little things like this,
prayers from others and for others, the thoughtful comments you guys leave,
the hugs, the "likes," the Skype-screen kisses with Daniel,
all of it—it is keeping my little battery full.  

So thank you.
It means so much.

Breathe... That's what I need to do now right now. I feel like my world is SO busy that I don't have time to reflect, and think. You inspire me, to try and become something better and new. THANK YOU.

That B&W photo of you is absolutely stunning! And I really do love your saying. Taking time to breathe, relax and reflect is necessary in this life but too often we forget to do so.

You and me both lady... I'm been really wound up lately and today at work I finally stopped myself and told myself out loud to chill out. Maybe I sounded crazy but it felt good.

I love it! The necklace is so beautiful! And you are too! =) Praying for you! Before you know, you'll be a Mrs. And I am praying that God will bless your marraige like crazy and that through His blessing, you both will continue to bless others.
