    Checkpoints: Dealing with Grief and Getting Through the Hard Days

    Overwhelmed with grief? Wondering how to get through the day? Checkpoints are little moments throughout the day where you check in with yourself and with God and have a simple conversation in order to cope. "God when does the pain stop?" or "I have no idea what to do" were some of my checkpoint conversations. Whatever you're feeling is okay. You were not meant to get through life's challenges alone. Use checkpoints whenever the day seems to unbearable and you have no idea how to get through it. Nothing is impossible for you! One tear, one moment, one step at a time and you will overcome the difficulties you're facing today. Check in with your Heavenly Father. He's waiting to hear from you.

    Coping with Uncertainty

    Do you have too much going on in your head to get anything done? Are you lacking motivation during this mandated down time? Are you struggling to lose weight? How are you coping with losing your job? We are all in this together. We all have a habit of comparing ourselves to others. And even in quarantine we are still doing this!! We see what other’s are doing (or say so social media) and we immediately feel less productive than they are. Ladies and gentlemen, we are all in quarantine; eating, sleeping and feeling some level of anxiety about our current circumstances. EVERY ONE… Be encouraged! We will all get through this. I hope these Scriptures and words of encouragement fill your heart and mind with God's peace.  - God is my refuge, my strength and my provider (Psalm 91) - The Lord is my Shephard I lack nothing (Psalm 23:1) - When I call to God, He will answer me (Psalm 91:15) - God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. (Psalm 46:1) - I can do all things through Jesus Christ who strengthens me (Philippeans 4:13) - I am a work in progress and am worth the effort and work that I am doing on myself, for myself and my family. - I am becoming better - I am enough - I am good enough - I am brave and courageous Love,  Your Friendly Vegetarian

    Self Care - The Skinny Podcast - Episode 3

    Taking the time to take care of yourself, to heal and address your well-being is a part of our own responsibility to ourselves. Self care comes in different forms. It could be starting a new career in a field where you know you’re living your purpose. It could be having a medical procedure done, like surgery, to improve your health so that you can be around longer with your family and achieve those goals and dreams. It can also mean having conversations with your family about what you need, and how they can support you. In this episode I discuss taking the time to take care of yourself and your well being. What does self care look like for you?
