Hot Date!

Have you had a hot date recently? I know I have! So far, I’ve had two hot dates this week (and my husband has had one). How can that be, some of you may be thinking?

Well, how it all started is really kind of funny! My husband has been having his hot dates on Tuesdays for a while now. It wasn’t until recently I started having my own hot dates on Tuesday nights too. We’re not together during these times, rather we’re having hot dates of our own. He leaves the house while I stay at home.

Tell me more…

Okay, you see the story goes like this.

My daughters have been going to hot yoga on Tuesday nights. This has become part of their routine. I’ve went a time or two in the past, but it’s mostly my husband that joins them. I think it’s great! Health, wellness, healing, caring for your body, mind, and spirit!! Imagine how surprised I was when I heard he wanted to take classes (and then he did and is still going)-Whoa! Never know what path life is going to take you.

As for me and my hot date, I don’t have to go far. All it takes for me is walking downstairs and getting in a nice hot sauna I had heating up for a bit prior to going in. In a sense, I get to chill out by myself and still get hot and sweaty (our sauna is set around 140 degrees). This is my quiet time and space. The house to myself for a little while. A much-needed moment after working all day. Quiet the body, mind, and spirit. There are times when I listen to podcasts, other times I sit quiet, listen, and just be. Then there are moments when I write or read blogs. So much encouragement, hope and ways to be inspired!

God is always with me. I seek Him and talk to Him as I know the importance of making room for and time spent with Him during my days. From longstanding pain, woundedness and the ultimate desire to wholeheartedly forgive, to those filled with unconditional love, compassion, peace, and joy, He knows my heart and exactly what it needs. In all circumstances He is leading me back to Him. I am reminded of His goodness, His love. I can drift off into a peaceful slumber knowing I have a Heavenly Father who is watching over and wants what’s best for us all.

Hello and welcome, I am so glad we have crossed paths! It’s no accident you are here! Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by, notice and read. As a wife, mother, grandmother, teacher (and so much more), I see the world through my lens. From the way I was raised, to every experience, moment, and circumstance in life, has shaped the way I think and see the world. For several years now, I have been walking more closely with God, getting to know Him, how He speaks to me and through me. He has given me the ability to write, a way to express how I am feeling and what I am going through. This has been a beautiful, crazy kind of journey where much healing is taking place. A time where I need to offer myself up some grace and appreciate the hard work, dedication, and commitment to creating a better version of myself. I am learning how to work through and release old trauma, healing, shedding old layers of myself, accepting and embracing my true and authentic self. Getting to know the new me has been quite foreign, especially when the old wants to cling to what is familiar, old habits and mindsets. Writing has been my saving grace (and photography is right up there too). An outlet, a way to release, a way to pause, reflect and see there is more than what my mind is leading me to believe. God’s word, His voice is there. When I keep Him first, above all things, I’ve realized things work out for my greater good, my higher purpose. I hope you enjoy and find words of wisdom you can relate to!
