Pockets of Joy 💕

This evening deserves its own post, not only because it was a great night but because of what it represents.

There are so many unseen layers of this grief. I keep discovering new facets.

Such as finding yourself unexpectedly as a one when you’ve spent over half your life as a two, and what that means in social settings.

Uncomfortable feeling like a 3rd or 5th wheel but knowing your people are for you, and their love for you is just that. Love and care.

The tension of allowing myself to feel ALL the feelings, but reminding myself they are feelings not always truths.

Leaning into the hard things because sometimes the hard is sprinkled with joy.

I’m so grateful for the blessings that continue to surprise me.

Pockets of Joy 💕

I’m absolutely SHOCKED! 😮

Two weeks into using these Wands and I was feeling like I could see a difference.

My skin feels tighter, less puffy, and I feel like I can see my jawline WITHOUT my contour.

The tech lines on my neck seem to be less, so I decided to film this to share how easy it is to use them and how great the applicator feels.

Like a little at home spa moment!

Then I put my before and after photos together - I’M BLOWN AWAY! This is 20 mins apart!

You can use morning and night and the results will intensify with continued use.

It’s impossible to to describe the hole his absence leaves behind. But what I do have is gratitude for how rich Adam’s presence made our life.

It’s his birthday today, and the truth is he never liked celebrating it. But he loved spending time with and serving family and friends. He often chose to celebrate by cooking and sharing whatever was his current obsession.

Standing in the kitchen prepping a dinner I know he’d have loved. A carnivore through and through so I’m cooking a beef roast with our favorite sides.

And starting with something new, we are trying caviar for the first time. It was on our list so we’ll see how that goes. ;)

Even though it’s his birthday, I missed him just as much yesterday and I expect I will each day moving forward. But I’m left with the legacy he created. One of serving others, trying new things, never afraid to ask questions, curious and caring, and laughing with complete and utter abandon.

Love you always Adam xoxo

Makeover Monday - grief struggle bus

After a soft start to my day, the waves started to rise and my afternoon took a turn.

I had a plan today but it took a backseat to some bigger feelings

I’ve learnt the last few months it’s better to lean into my feelings and allow them to wash over me

I try to do a few things that help bring me peace, taking the space and grace as the waters recede

Taking 5 or 10 mins for myself to throw a little makeup on is so helpful for me

But on a day like today, 3 mins is all I could handle, quick eyebrow, touch of concealer, little main shade, and some blush
5 little shades but truly helped soften the day.

Mother’s Day thoughts…

This last year has housed some of my most treasured Mama moments and some of the hardest times I’ve ever experienced.

One of the greatest honors of my life has been being mother to these two amazing young women.

I’ve learnt so much from them over the years and this year has been no exception.

Motherhood isn’t for the faint of heart, it’s long days and fleeting years. It’s joy and frustration, and so rewarding. You never know in the moment if you’re making the right choices.

I’m so grateful for the women who have gone before me, learning from them and taking advice has allowed me to navigate so many moments.

I know this is a day filled with excitement, a balance between grief and joy, heartbreak, anticipation, sorrow, delight or disappointment, I see you. I pray you know you are LOVED, and you find peace today even if unexpected.

Hard to believe half a year has passed without Adam beside me. I’ve said this before, but it never ceases to amaze me how I can be so aware of his absence, all the missed moments, and yet I have to remind myself several times a day that he’s really gone. That this is real, and not a terrible dream.

Sometimes the waves of grief move slowly in, sometimes they come fast knocking us down, but I think it’s the moments where the tide steadily rises, and you don’t realize you’ve wandered too far out. The day felt ok, but suddenly you realize you’ve been swept out, and an overwhelming sadness covers you. The thought of never getting to talk to him again, ask him about countless things or hear his boisterous laugh. But in the stillness I mostly feel so grateful for time and the impact he had on our lives. So much of every part of my life is wrapped up into the life we built together.

I’m finding there is so much healing in sitting in the grief, and letting my girls see that. I’ve read several different quotes about how after a loss, being without that person, we are never able to be who we had become. That somehow we’ve lost certain parts of our self. I certainly can’t speak for anyone else in their grief, but for me, I’m forever changed and who I am because of Adam. I carry the lessons, all the things he encouraged in me as I walk through each day. Those parts of me are not gone, or hidden, in fact I find myself being bolder in moments where I hear his encouragement.

This season has reinforced the importance of focusing on joy, being present, celebrating eachother and truly listening, to God and to others. To hold all things with an open hand. I think if we allow it, grief forever impacts how we navigate our relationships. I think it can turn bitter when we hold things so tight and we miss the joy, but if we allow it to fill us up, and we celebrate the moments, holding everything with an open hand I think God blesses us more. I’m working hard on that.

The last few days during my devotional and today during church I keep thinking about God’s presence.

Many times in my life, I’ve desperately cried out for His closeness, and if I’m honest so often it was during the hardest moments.

But I’ve been thinking how often when things are good we forget He’s with us and sovereign, perhaps our pride allows us to think we alone are the reason for our good circumstances.

And when things are bad, we are hurt and feel abandoned by God, as if He’s walked away from us. That our circumstances are because He’s deserted us.

But the truth is He is sovereign, and present, regardless of our circumstances. Our blessings come from Him, and He allows our struggles.

He is weaving a story for His glory using ALL of our circumstances. Developing our testimony that points to His deliverance.

Regardless of where you are today friends, He wants to hold you, and walk along side you. ❤️

It seems impossible that 90 days have past without Adam. So much time and yet almost the blink of an eye.

I don’t want the days to pass, it means another day has gone by without him. And yet, I know there is no stopping the sun from rising or setting, the days continue to move. Each day I wait for the wave of grief to wash over me.

This grief is filled with so many different losses. Mourning what I thought our life would be, where we’d be going, missing my cooking partner, my best friend, the person I bounced everything off, who pushed me to plan ahead, my DIY buddy, my travel partner, my biggest cheerleader, my secret keeper, my old age partner, my lover, the Father of my girls, even the spider killer. And each one of these is etched on a tile and tossed in a bag like scrabble letters. Every morning I wake up, I take new ones out of the bag, never knowing what the day will bring or what loss will cut deep. Woven through each tile are threads of love and precious memories, that make my heart ache, and fill me with gratitude. For those moments and memories belong to me forever.

Psalms 34 tells us the Lord is close to the Broken hearted. I always believed, and I’ve felt it in dark times, but this closeness, like I’m being carefully held, God unclenches my fists, carrying me through moments that seem impossible. He holds me in a sadness I didn’t believe possible. The shards of my broken heart are carefully held, and in the moments where they make it hard to breathe my cries for relief are answered. Truly miraculous. Sitting in this pain that feels so unfair there’s a peacefulness that’s hard to describe. I’m grateful for every moment and wish I had so many more. But the depth of our love and friendship is worth mourning.

Love you forever Adam xo

Hard to believe it’s been a whole month without Adam. It’s been so fast and so slow all at the same time. So many times a day I go to text him, to call him, to ask his advice or share something funny.

Adam loved to prepare and talk about the future but I preferred to focus on the present. Somehow we managed to encourage eachother through both. I’m so grateful we tried to make the most of the moments, to focus on the joy and try to pivot as life happened.

I’ve thought a lot this weekend about how important it is to say the I Love yous, take the photos, spend the time together, life moves so fast. Since his accident I’ve been so aware how quickly life can change, but there is no preparing for this. I’m so sad for the many plans and dreams that will go unfulfilled. But I’m so grateful for the life we lived together and the joy we packed into our life.

Hearing about LOVE today for advent as we prepare for Christmas was bittersweet. I’m so thankful for the peace that God is still covering us with. His joy this season is so comforting. ❤️

The girls and are I so grateful for all the love and support we’ve received. It’s been amazing. Thank you

Life will never be the same. On Friday we tragically lost my best friend, my husband and our girls lost their amazing Dad. The time we had was not enough but we are so truly grateful for every second.

Adam had this amazing gift at making you feel seen and heard. He wanted to know what you had to say. What you thought and why you felt that way. Some of it was his natural curiosity the other part is he just knew how to connect.

He put everyone at ease, his presence was calming and in hard moments he brought peace, levity and a steady voice of reason.

But his laugh was simply the best, loud, boisterous and with abandon. You always knew if Adam was in the room. If we teased him about it, he made a silly face and laughed. Cause who cares.

So grateful he’s with Jesus. And through this time we can feel God holding us so close.

The girls and I are so grateful for all the love and support. There are no words. ❤️
