All hard things aside~ I am livin’ my best life! Remembering it’s up to me to decide!

I can be sour, sad and mad.. or I can be happy, thankful and glad!

I can think of all the things not going quite right.. or I can remember why this life is worth the fight!

I can be consumed by the trauma I’ve endured or I can reclaim some control!

Remembering control is really just an illusion. All we can truly do is control our reaction to life’s confusion.

For me .. it’s sometimes hard to explain.. I literally see people as people.. we are all the same.

I am looking to spread more kindness and less madness.

If you really take yourself out of yourself.. who are you?

Surely you can see that comparison is a thief of a lot of good and keeps you from doing what you often should.

So instead of thinking it could/would/should be better. Look at your life and realize the beauty that comes with the weather!!

Livin’ your best life doesn’t mean you have all you desire.. it’s realizing your life is something much greater!

Today my heart felt heavy when I learned some hard news from my bestie. One of her dear friends, who’s already endured some crisis.. is watching her sweet sis-in-law fight for her life! She also told me of the passing of a young mother.. who lost her life in a car accident- her family is in the heart of the struggle.

We are blessed to be on this journey. Life is holding the pen to our own story!

I currently have some extremely challenging things taking place. The most important thing is realizing how lucky I really am to wake up and find grace.

I have learned over time that it’s not best to act out of emotion.. so I will wait to share how I navigated when there is less commotion!

I guess knowing that some of us just aren’t willing to perform for excellence .. let’s you know there is always room for improvement!

I am the girl that was told by a sweet youngin’, “you are livin’ your best life in your adorable Jeep!”.. as I sat to get my favorite summer Sonic drink! In that moment I felt so confident.. a selfie was a must after that sweet compliment!

For a brief moment.. I forgot.. I AM livin’ my best life, because I got caught in the fog. I immediately knew after she reminded me, what I should write for my blog.

I guess there was a reason it didn’t come to me earlier today.. I didn’t know just yet~ what was the most important to say!

Writing for me is very cathartic. It’s helping me to share what I’ve found to be the best method when facing adversity .. it keeps me doing part!

As a matter of fact, YES, I AM LIVIN’ MY VERY BEST LIFE! Even when there are heavy things brewing. I am the lucky girl sportin’ a cute “old school” red Jeep .. that my hubby got me without me even knowing!

Never forget what some kind words can do. In fact, it can be the difference between believing or not that a dream can be pursued!!

I sorta felt a bit unsettled as the day unfolded. Next thing you know my husband brought me back the last bite of his ice cream, after an outing with his realtor colleagues!! I think it’s safe to say we help each other find joy in all things!

He reminded me a couple times today that life is good and we have a lot to be thankful for. After all.. we have choices- and for his reminders, I remember why he’s easy to adore!

Honestly, I have more than one reason to feel like my day was made! I am sitting outside in my Jeep as I pulled into the shade!😉

For every hard part~ there is a flip side! And that is you livin’ your best life!! 🤍🤟

..So in between surviving the hard and sometimes not believing I can be a voice. I am over here screaming from the Kansas flatlands that we all can and deserve to be livin’ our best life!

Everyone’s best is going to look different. Let’s not judge, shame and be belligerent! Everyone’s story is up for interpretation and it would be boring if we were all the same! How about finding a way to love.. a real reason to gain fame!

We can live a less filtered life and show our true colors.. without intentionally hurting each other!

Find your rose colored glasses and try not to run with the masses. Remember we are all human and we all have moments we want to cry.. ultimately we are all just trying to live our BEST LIFE!

Stay Rosy, Amber
