This is the Good Stuff~Attitude of Gratitude

 


Hey Babes!

Have I got a great thought to share with you today! 

I sat down not having any idea what to share or what I wanted to say. Thoughts about spring, it being April crossed my mind and I was just going to lean into something like that. And then when thinking of a title, this popped into my head. So I am running with this instead. 

The good stuff. Hmm. What exacty does that mean? For starters, there's a lot to be said for having an attitude of gratitude. Well, I take it to mean, when you're shooting for a goal, or planning your life, or looking ahead, whatever you want to call it, you're searching for "The Good Stuff." Am I right? 

What if you're already there? Hear me out. I know that could be a bit confusing since I'm the one pushing toward you're next level babe, your higher self, the next amazing level to achieve. 

Hold on though. Are you embracing this level though? Have you stopped to think about that where you are is also a place you've strived for? It's also what you planned for, dreamed of, prayed about in the past? Don't get so focused on your next level that this level goes unappreciated. 

You are always growing evolving and becoming. Being grateful for achieving is also super important! 

I think back to the days where I was writing in my journal daily: I am a great wife. I have an exceptional marriage. I have a loving husband. I have an exceptional sex life. I love living in the house that we bought together. Honestly those days were about two and a half years prior to achieving what I was shooting for. I was determined that I was going to have that life. It took two and a half years, a move across states and a breakup with a guy that didn't want any of those things, to make it happen. Why am I telling you this right now? Reminding you that not only is it important to journal, affirm and be grateful, but that you also need to take inspired action. I thought that I was when I was doing "all the things," and then I had to step into the reality that my current partner, at that time, wanted none of that. 

Fast forward and I've got the good stuff! I have all that I journaled about and more! I am in my office, surrounded by my things, in our house, decorated the way I wanted, listening to him mow as I write this out. This, is the good stuff! This is what I wanted, prayed for, dreamed about. This right here. 

I do want more and I want to continue to evolve, grow, aspire, dream and achieve more goals. 

But. Trust me when I tell you, I am thankful and appreciative for this moment right here as well. 

Sending you so much love and blessings!

Always here in your corner and rooting for you! 

Your bestie~

The ALMOST end to Summer!

 Hey Bestie, Welcome Back!  Yes, antother hiatus taken. Totally unplanned and I vow to get better at showing up here for you!  So what gives this time? So much.  I typically sit down to write to you on the weekends. Well, there has been a lot happening and the weekends ended up being either a blur or a total veg time with literally scrolling aimlessly on socials or just in front the tv. It started with mom. She had a toenail that seemed to be maybe in grown. She tried to cut it out herself. It then got inflammed and then there was a small section that turned black. SO scary.  Well, she's also kind of stubborn. I tried to first get her to go to a podiatrist. She thought that maybe there was a piece still in there that she didn't quite get out. Well, she also has neuropathy and touching her feet is painful. So it went untreated. I then suggested that maybe we just have the people that do her nails try and pull it out. Finally that suggestion seemed a good one. The...

Community and Friendship

  One of the topics I get so many questions on is, friendships in later life.  There's a lot of you that reach out and are not really sure what to do. Some of you have lost friends over time, or had mom friends that you chatted with at drop off and pick up, but maybe it didn't go anywhere. Some of you were just so focused on mom and wife life that the girlfriend life kind of went to the way side.  There's a lot that can happen to us along the way, as life takes on many different shapes. Growth, moving, some of us even just lose ourselves somewhere along the way, and it's a matter of stepping back and getting yourself back. I think I have been every one of these women along my journey.  I thought I'd share a few tips and tricks to help you find your tribe!  1. Start by Revisiting Your Passions Finding friends with shared interests is key. Whether you’re into yoga, knitting, painting, or 80s rock concerts, there’s a community out there! Re-engaging with hobbies is...

September got me feelin' all kinds of ways

Hello, September! Welcoming Fall, Fun, and Feelings 🌻🍁 Can you believe it's already September?  We have a wild and crazy September here at the MacLean house!  For me, it’s not just the start of fall but also the month I turn 50! (Cue the confetti! 🎉) I’m so excited about all the fun things we have planned—pumpkin patches, cozy sweater weather, and warm apple cider. It's that magical time of year when the air gets crisper, and the leaves start to turn those beautiful shades of red and gold. 🍂 We took an adventure to Branson last weekend! That was so much fun! With my 50th upon me later this month, my kiddos surprised me by taking us all to one of our favorite locations! We have not been to Branson as a family for way too long!  We had so much fun!  Back home for now and this next week we will head to California. I’d be lying if I didn’t say this September also feels a little bittersweet. We’re still processing the loss of my father-in-law, and it’s a reminder that...
