Sunrise thoughts 🥰

I look inside myself and see it. I was created. 💗

As | look at Nina from Wild Bloom, her shirt slipping gently off her shoulder, so relaxed in her body and presence, it pulls me back to another version of myself. Twenty-four years old. Newly separated. No job. Living with my mom with my 2 year old son. Standing in the unknown with no clear picture of what came next. And somehow, in the middle of all of that uncertainty, I found another soul who simply saw me. Not for what I could become. Not for my potential. Not for what I could offer. Just me. And he chose to love me there. Through every season since, even the hardest ones. Even the days when I made it difficult to be loved, when I was hurting, unraveling, guarded, overwhelmed. He stayed. He loved me through all of it. There's something so sacred about being loved before you "arrive." Before you figure yourself out. Before life looks polished or certain. Just being fully seen in your humanness and loved anyway. I feel myself stepping back into that girl again. The one who stood in the unknown with softness still in her heart. Open. Curious.Ready for whatever came next. But this time, I return to her with lived experience. With grief and beauty woven into me. With lessons, loss, motherhood, love, healing, and becoming carried in my bones. And now, instead of searching for permission to exist, I feel ready to share my heart with the world. Not from a place of needing to prove anything, but simply because l've lived. Because I know what it means to break and rebuild. Because I know how deeply humans ache to be seen, held, and understood. There's something beautiful about meeting yourself again after all these years and realizing she never really left. She was just waiting for you to come home to her.🌱✨

Saturday Morning Reflection with Jade the babe ☀️ I hope you all have a beautifully fantastic full of little moments that make you smile 😌

I wanted to share this because I recently ordered wildflowers from Created By Nature, and just a few days after they arrived, they sent over a guide for planting based on your region and ways to help the flowers truly thrive as pollinators. I just thought that was really thoughtful — like, “hey, now that your flowers arrived, here’s how to support them and help them grow well.” 🌼 It made me think about how much beauty there is in intention and care. I watched a video today where someone said, “I can’t wait for God to show me what blessings are going to unfold in my life.” That really stayed with me. Every day truly feels like a privilege just to be here, to offer our hearts in the small things, and to care for what’s been placed in front of us. Whether it’s planting flowers, listening deeply, showing kindness, or simply showing up — every loving intention adds something meaningful to this world. I think that’s part of what it means to live in grace and to reflect the love of Christ through how we care for others, ourselves, and the earth around us. With The Listening Well, I keep feeling reminded that not everything is ours to carry or hold onto tightly. Sometimes it’s about receiving, listening, learning, and then giving it back to God — trusting that whatever is meant to grow will grow in His timing and for His purpose. There’s something powerful about believing in the unbelievable, because sometimes that faith is exactly what allows beautiful things to bloom. 🌿 https://www.createdbynature.com/pages/gardening-tips?customer_posted=true#ContactSubscribe
