Eclipes

The sun and the moon perfectly aligned in the Universe today, dancing their way across our entire country on the path of totality.

To celebrate such an awe-inspiring event, I gave away almost 100 mini eclipses to those who needed a start-of-the-week reminder to shine like the Universe is yours, because it is. All parts of ourselves- both the light and the dark-can be powerful. It is all a beautiful part of this wild, cosmic experience of life. Next time something is scary or hard or dark …this is your reminder that it can still be a stellar experience too.

There are 53 Mondays this year and how you spend them is up to you. Start off the week knowing how powerful you are. Attitude is Everything; Everything is Temporary. // When the world feels like a cold, dark place- Be the silver lining eclipse that radiates optimism.

Happy Monday PASS IT ON! #thehappymondayproject

Whoopee Cushions


Happily Ever Laughter // For April Fool’s Day, I gave away over 100 mini whoopee cushions to strangers who needed a reason to giggle. Some days, all you need is to let a fart out, crack a smile and do the damn thing. Stop taking Monday so seriously! Feel free to clown around. Life is better when you’re laughing.

Dopamine Dinos


“Dopamine Dinos”

Tiny dinos, big grins, Mondays are more than just head spins,

In pockets, on desks, they'Il boost your dopamine on a whim,

A dash of joy, a reset for your brain,

Each little dino, a cheerful way to stay sane, Life's too short to fret, let's share dino delight,

In every corner of this silly adulting life, let happiness ignite. Happy Monday! //

Never forget that the smallest of gestures can make all the difference in someone’s day. Today, I gave away more than 100 “dopamine dinosaurs” to strangers who needed a reason to smile. Life is tough, but so are you!

Reset your brain in silly ways to add more joy to your life in tiny bursts. Keep your dino in your pocket or on your desk within eyesight. When you see them, I guarantee you will get a ping of dopamine. Sometimes, all you need is a silly little companion in your pocket to remind you that all this adulting bullshit you have to do today is really not that serious.

Stay Fierce. Stay Kind.

“Stay fierce. Stay kind. Don’t let the world get the best of your mind. It helps to wear whatever gives you wings right now. Stacy eats trashy pizza on the kitchen floor while wearing her wedding gown.”

I’m not crushing it this week. My body and my heart are both overworked and overwhelmed. But you know what? It’s okay. You grow through what you go through. It’s just a bad couple of days, not a bad life. This is a kind reminder that we could all give ourselves a little more grace. Self-love baby!

So to every Mama who has a sink full of dishes tonight, to every Mama who got take-out for dinner, to every Mama with a baby that just doesn't want to go to sleep, to every Mama who has a messy house and hasn't showered today...it's okay if all you did today was survive. Tomorrow is a new day and I promise you that this is all worth it. Everything that you are is enough. You've got this! Be you, Bravely.

Some days are messy and the struggle is real, but you’ll make it through. You are not alone. Don’t let yourself sink! You are alive and you are doing the damn thing and for that- I AM SO PROUD OF YOU. Work hard. Dream harder. It only gets brighter from here.

Crayons

Do the Universe a favor- Never hide your magic. Dare to colour outside the lines. We may all be a little broken, but broken crayons still colour. // Never forget that the smallest act of kindness can make all the difference in a stranger’s day.

Disco Balls

Maybe you experienced a magnificent start-of-the-week revelation today. Maybe your biggest accomplishment was getting out of bed.

Wherever you are in life, it is right where you are suppose to be. Embrace it and don’t forget to take care of yourself.

You are allowed bad days. You are justified in your struggles. I want you to know that you are loved, seen, heard, and understood. Being an adult is literally jumping from feeling like you are on top of the world to feeling like you cannot even take another step. Just take a breath! You are not alone. You are alive and you are doing the damn thing and for that, I AM SO PROUD OF YOU.

Eat ice cream unapologetically before noon and bumble your way through the rest of the day. Just do it dancing while smiling so hard that your eyes close.

WORK HARD. DREAM HARDER.

I Am Not Lost Scarves

I am not lost.

If you need to stay warm, this handmade scarf is meant for you. You are worthy. You are loved. You are not alone. If you are waiting for a sign, THIS IS IT. Happy Monday. //

Whoa. Holy moly. When it rains, it pours, and you can bet your ass that I am going to dance in it. What a special day. When I decided to learn how to crochet on a whim a few months ago, I thought I was capable of making one or two scarves. I never would have dreamed that I would be able to make dozens of handmade scarves before Christmas. Today, I took my little project to Downtown Nashville to warm the hearts of the homeless. I left blessing bags around the city. I also handed out wrapped scarves to strangers on the street who needed a reminder that someone is thinking of them on this sometimes lonely holiday.

These homemade little blessing bags were the least I could do to remind these beautiful humans who are currently down on their luck that life is tough, but so are you! Your heart matters-YOU MATTER. You are not alone. Don’t let yourself sink!

There were 52 Mondays this year and how you spent them was up to you. Start off the week and end the year knowing how powerful you really are. Happy Monday and Merry Christmas! PASS IT ON! #thehappymondayproject #attitudeiseverything #everythingistemporary

(Thank you Haley Burks McClincy for fueling my crazy ideas and helping me learn to crochet on a whim. Also thank you to my mother-in-law, Sue, who also helped me learn to crochet and pitched in to add a bunch of handmade scarves to the pile. Y’all are the true MVP’s)
