You can still bloom brightly,
Even on days that are overcast.
As quickly as storms may form,
We also know that storms won’t last.
The tepid rainwater from the grayish cloudy skies,
Can wash away the glistening tears that fill your eyes.
The loudness of the rumbling thunder often can hide,
All those deep thoughts of despair you may be feeling inside.
As the streaks of light from the brightest lightening bolts dash & flash,
Memories seep into your mind,
Both the good & bad from the past.
So as the storm finally settles,
The anguish & anxiety does too.
Continue to keep walking forward,
Just as you were intended to do.
Storms can sometimes cause severe devastation,
But they can also create beautiful new destinations & paths.
So on the days forecasted for storms and rain,
Use your best gear so that you can trudge on through.
It may take you a tad bit longer,
But in the end that’s what makes you that much stronger.
Change your mindset & focus on you,
Being real with yourself and just staying true regardless of what others may think of you.
Keep your head held high and just keep giving it your best,
For what others may do or think of you, doesn’t define all the rest.
Others might come along just to try to dull your shine,
But even on your worst of days,
You’ll always be better in so many ways.
Because after the storms have come and gone,
You’ll still be standing tall with dignity and pride,
While no matter how much they do or try,
They will never be able to disguise their ugliness inside.

Make time to do new things & don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone in order to do so. I was 50yrs old when I first tried it this summer. I should have tried kayaking years ago because I’ve found that I actually truly enjoy it! It’s also nowhere near as difficult as I thought it might be. ☺️ Since then, it is now my hope to buy my own kayak before next summer! lol 😂🤪♥️

OMGosh! Sometimes, I can’t wait until I’m old enough to say that I can’t hear folks when they are bumpin’ their gums! 🤪😂

You get to decide each day, which road you travel. Take the path less traveled. Go to where you find your peace. Life can take you to the most beautiful destinations. You just have to be willing to make the most of the journey along the way. ~SandraSaysSo

You ever wonder if people from your past think about you & miss you in the same ways you do them? 🤔

Good morning, my friends! What’s one goal that you’re currently working towards achieving? For those of you who know me, know that I’ve been working on rebuilding myself after getting out of a toxic relationship. My goal was to have PEACE, not only for myself but also for my children. I want my kids to grow up in and around positive people and a comfortable environment. It never mattered where we would live because I always tried to make our house a home. Through my hardships, I’ve still pushed forward and strived to do and be better than I was before. I never let the setbacks hold me back for long. If one thing doesn’t work, I just try something else. I just never quit trying, nor do I ever give up. I no longer let my emotions and the love that I have for others, control my relationships. Instead, I decided to remove anyone who brings negativity to our lives. I will not force anyone to be in our lives either. I’ve learned that the only one you can truly count on is yourself. Don’t let anyone control you or your life. Don’t let anyone keep you from the happiness and life you deserve. Create a plan and start taking steps towards executing that plan. Baby steps is always better than no steps. One thing that is constant is change. Embrace it. Don’t be afraid of it. So, if you’re reading this and it somehow resonates with you, just know that you’ve got this! Please reach out if you’re needing help with creating a plan or if you just need to vent. I’m here.

Good morning! As I lay here awake in silence, I take this moment to just take it all in and reflect. Yesterday, was our first day back at work after the summer break. I can honestly say that I’m truly blessed & feel so very grateful to be a part of the Smith team. Last year, being my first year teaching middle school, was definitely a learning experience. I plan on taking what I learned and improving in all areas, especially classroom management & behavior. I’m going into this new school year with a different perspective and mindset. I’m excited and looking forward to the new school year! Soon, I’ll be making my bare classroom and turning it into a cozy learning environment, a place where all my students can feel safe and welcomed.

⚠️Attention: There’s a fake IG account using some of my photos and content from social media. I only have ONE account on each platform. Any others are fake! I would not and have not messaged anyone privately asking for money! Please do not send money and please DO REPORT the account! They have me blocked so I’m not even able to find it. I did message IG and made them aware. I’m also wanting to make you aware! Thank you!

I’ve decided to get back into pour painting. It’s something I truly enjoy doing & love the peace it brings me. I don’t have many hobbies because I stay so busy with work & housework. However, everyone needs a hobby! So, with that being said, ya’ll be ready for it. 🤪 Sending ya’ll love & light! Have a wonderful weekend!
