it’s my house

I can’t believe it’s been over 2 years since my last update—that’s a really really long time for someone who’s aspiring to build a lifestyle blog.

Like wut happened in those ~2 years? That’s like, 1 life changing career pivot, 4 certifications, and before I became a ChatGPT power user. As for the ChatGPT power user part, I’m not even sure if that’s even a flex these days. It’s almost like I’ve relied on it so much that I’ve forgotten how to articulate myself.

There’s so much on my mind these days that I don’t even know where to start. However, one thing is for certain:

I refuse to use AI in any of my blog posts. I haven't done it before and I don't plan on starting now.

AI slop is everywhere and people could smell that garbage from a mile away. I refuse to lose my voice in AI. As far as I’m concerned, it’s great for punctuation and that’s about it in the creative writing space.

A while back, I saw something on social media that talks about the new battleground of class warfare that can be summed up as: The creative thinkers vs The AI prompters.

Let’s just put it this way: The billionaires aren’t teaching their children how to prompt AI.

They’re discussing the classics, fine art, and academia. In contrast, AI prompters talk to the AI and get a response that encourages the human on the other end to keep prompting it! (READ: Brain rot with it.) Read that again.

And here’s the sad part—it’s by design. (Hell yeah, that em dash is mine.)

We’re nearing the end of 2025 (thank goodness!) and my cogs are turning about 2026. While I’m not in the business of announcing new year’s resolutions, the one thing I commit to doing more of next year is letting my heart flow moar. (Once again, SEO can go f*ck itself. My job is to shine bright and give off a signal for those who want more to find me.)

I’m done with being perfectly curated. I’m source energy in a human body and I’ll start writing like it.

If it resonates, awesome, leave me a comment and subscribe. If it doesn’t, then I leave you with:

It’s my house and I’ll decorate it how I want.

Until next time. <3!

my breakup with the bathroom scale

October 15, 2023.Reading time 5 minutes.

Now here’s a radical idea — what if the journey back to optimal health is a vibrational one rather than an action-oriented one? ✨

I’ve been reading The Only Diet There Is by Sondra Ray. I came across the title listening to a Louise Hay Audible a few months back. The book isn’t that long, maybe 150 pages. It shouldn’t take me that long to read it, right? Wrong. It has taken a hot minute because it requires me to do actually do the work. 💓

I guess you can say that my resistance is softening. I’ve gotten into what I refer to as the best shape of my life and ballooned back up several times in my thirties but didn’t manage to maintain it because I couldn’t hold the vibration of a skinnier me.

For years, I thought it was all about killing myself, suffering, and proving worthiness. I still do, actually. I mean, I had an entire Instagram account that justified why I deserve to look the way I did. Maybe that’s the reason why it got hacked. Maybe that’s the Universe’s way of telling me that I need to let go of my beliefs.

Life Advice

If someone shows you who they are the first time around, believe them. This lesson has taken me so long to finally learn but I’m really glad I came to my senses about a lot of people this past year and will be damned if I let them back into my life. I’m not going to sit around and try to rationalize why they’re like this.

THAT IS AN ASSHOLE.

All I can do is keep my vibration high and radiating strong and everyone else who isn’t what I stand for which leads me to…

the best life advice from a 39½ year old

July 6, 2022.Reading time 3 minutes.

Today marks 39½ revolutions around the 🌞 for me.

I really can’t think of a better way to commemorate this momentous occasion other than to share the best life advice that will keep me winning well into my 40s. 🌻

Without further ado, I present to you the following nuggets of wisdom:

There is nothing more important than feeling good

Truth be told, I took today off yesterday. 🙈 It was because I found myself slowing down as I was completing my free association exercise on the 4th. I probably needed a day (or dayS) off sooner but just kept putting it off. My free association was mainly about the things that I wanted to accomplish and buy in January 2023.

You’d think that today would be the day that I get cracking on these things but not really. Instead, I did what was best for me. I bought myself a ticket to Abraham’s in-person workshop, a mani/pedi, and renewed my domains, I’m also leisurely updating my blog because it feels good.

Do I care if anyone’s gonna read it?

Not really.

Why?

There is no law of assertion in an attraction-based universe

SEO can fuck itself because I know my people will eventually find me.

I attract what I radiate.

I zig while the naysayers zag.

When it feels like you’re about to be blessed, shut up

This explains why I haven’t been caring too much about social media these days. I find that creation is more fun when I’m the one witnessing the Universe orchestrate perfect circumstances and people to lead me to the next and the next.

I’m a creative genius and everything that I’ve manifested since quarantine has been done in stealth mode. I’m done with making announcements because I’m done with the peanut gallery or worst yet, my perceptions of what the peanut gallery thinks. If you’re close to me, maybe I’ll share a thing or two but for the most part, I’m about being comfortable these days.

Perhaps the most radical piece of advice I have for myself these days is about food.

hindsight is 2022

December 31, 2021.Reading time 5 minutes.

A couple weeks ago, my friend Vernon sent me a text: We really have lost 2 years.

I guess it’s all a matter of perspective, right? At first glance, that message felt kinda grim. Like… what the hell happened these past two years? Pandemic, lockdowns, civil unrest, a nail-biter election, and moar civil unrest aside,

I am sooo appreciative for all that’s happened *for me*, FULL STOP. 🛑

Read that again.

It’s really hard to see the big picture when you’re faced with so much adversity in-the-moment but I’d argue that hindsight is 20/22. (See what I did there? 😉😉) I’ve sifted and sorted through so much crap these past two years that I’m ready to (in the words of Abraham-Hicks) cash in my vibrational chips. 🌈✨

there is no practice life

November 27, 2021.Reading time 1 minute.

Read that title again. ✋🛑

It has been a long while since I’ve updated and I think it’s fear of not being perfect enough. Here’s the funny thing —

The moment I don’t give a rip about SEO and doing what I’m supposed to do marketing-wise, I get the most engagement. Lighthouse lifestyle is a prime example. Damn right, it’s not my job to save anyone. Read that post if you want to know why.

Today, I’m getting on my soap-box to talk about how the time is now.

2020 has caused me to put lot into vibrational escrow. Don’t want this, must want that. I hate this, I must love that. This person is shitty, I put an equally amazing opposing version of them inside the vortex. ⚡

I’ve done a much better job at showing up authentically in many areas of my life this year. As 2021 draws to a close, it’s time to lean even moar in the direction of what I do want because after all, there is no practice life.

If I can have it any way I want…

lighthouse lifestyle

I called it months ago.

2021 continues to be the Year of the Level Up.

I realize it’s been months since my last post but I promise you, it has been time well-spent. I’ve been letting go of the struggle and doing what feels fun, purposeful, and elevating.

As a result, I feel like I’ve finally opened myself up to receiving from the Universe. ✨ A couple of weeks ago, I stumbled upon a really awesome Instagram post about lighthouses. Here we go:

2021, aka Year of the Level Up.

I can’t believe we’re almost through Q1. 😬🙈

It’s been a really hot minute since I’ve updated. I’ve been busy living life because words don’t teach, life experience does. While it may feel overwhelming in-the-moment, I now see the events of the past few months as the best thing that’s ever happened to me.

It’s always a data-gathering experience –

I don’t like this, I like this. I don’t like this, I like this…

And on and on it goes…

These are the aces I hold in my back pocket for 2021. 📓

my biggest life lessons from 2020

Words Don’t Teach, Life Does

2020 has been a treasure trove of life lessons and most of it has left me feeling kinda lost and emotionally raw.

I’m not a fan of regurgitating the past unless it helps me move forward. If I could pick out the 🌈 and silver lining after the storm, I’m all for it.

Now that I’ve somewhat lived past *it*, I can talk about the life lessons I’ve learned thus far.
