What Brings You Joy In Life?

May 18, 2021May 18, 2021by Olivia131 Comments

So many times I have started writing a list of things to be grateful for, and I have found that once you start writing, you cant stop listing the things that brings you joy. The act itself of starting to think, and acknowledge the good we have in life can be hard to start. Often times we are surrounded by negative things, and bad situations that it clouds out the good we actually have. Whenever I feel like I am going through a hard time, I find it so beneficial to remind myself of the good I have in life. The great people I am surrounded by. The job I have, the life I get to live. Those are the things that matter.

It is What It is

January 22, 2021January 22, 2021by Olivia53 Comments

Do you ever find yourself in situations saying it is what it is? I find myself saying this when I get let down or if plans don’t play out like I thought they would. I mean the whole of 2020 was a big it is what it is wasn’t it? Because of the year we had in 2020 I think we all have this mentality now to some extent. We all had plans that year to do great things and see family and make memories and instead it brought loss, death, heartbreak and isolation. And it really reminded me that we really aren’t in control of our lives. We can control our now but not so much our future.

How to Find Pockets of Peace In Your Day

September 17, 2020November 1, 2023by Olivia40 Comments

Recently I have become addicted to Tik Tok, I’m not proud of it but they say the first step of beating an addiction is admitting you have one. So here I am. Haha I’m totally kidding but I really do love watching Tik Tok videos. A few months ago I stumbled across a page where a woman called Nabela, who shares these amazingly put together videos showing pockets of peace in her day. Even if she doesn’t have a great day, she finds even the small positives and I thought it was such a great idea and such a great way to remember to be grateful and see the goodness in each day.

So today I thought I would share how you can find your pockets of peace in each day. Then I thought we could start a conversation and share with each other our pockets of peace. I’ll start by sharing mine and then you tell us yours in the comments!

Ten Blog Awards in One

August 8, 2020by Olivia79 Comments

Thank you thank you thank you thank you to all that have nominated me for a blog award! I got so many awards this week it was impossible to post them all individually so I decided to do a collective post of them all.

I really appreciate the fact that I got nominated for all of these awards. When I started blogging in 2015 i had really made no connections with people or even tried to. I got low interactions and low traffic because it didn’t even cross my mind i’d need to interact with other bloggers to grow. I’m so thankful and glad to have met so many lovely people. And I love that we get to share our blogging journeys together!

Just for info, it would be impossible to answer all questions in one post, so I’m going to say thank you to those that nominated me and leave links to their blogs instead. I think showing some blogger love back to you all is needed!
