Days 8, 9 & 10... L O V E

Day 8: Do you love yourself?

Yes, but not as much as I should...

Day 9: ...why or why not?

I love myself because I'm fucking awesome! Im beautiful inside and out and im just all around dope. I know I could  Love myself more because I don't treat myself to the highest standards that I want for myself.

Day 10: How  Can you love yourself more today?

I can embrace my flaws and continue to accept myself for who I am. Making sure there is room for change and growth. Stick to my guns and realized when compromise is counterproductive to my cause...

Day 6 & 7

Shut up, shut up! I'm trying. Here's days 6 & 7...

Day 6: How would you describe yourself? 

I think I need to re-do Day 1...I feel like I answered both questions the same and they definitely are not the same. Ok... so how would I describe myself? Hmmm...I am like lightening. I am powerful, awe inspiring... and dangerous. I am the glimmer of light shining through the darkness. I am the calm and the storm. I am only love. I am strength and determination. I am empathy and compassion.

I'm not everyone's shot of whiskey though... I'm eclectic and eccentric. I am passion embodied. 

Day 7: What are your values? What do you represent? What do you want to embody? 

I value consistency and reciprocation.  Empathy. Respect. Loyalty. I believe that you should embody the energies you want to receive. I tried to be love and light because that's all I want to receive back from the universe. I represent compassion and care. I'm truly an empath. I feel everything. I want to be a Beacon of light that's that that not just talk it but walk it as well.

Days 2, 3, 4 & 5 🤦🏽‍♀️

So... I'm the worst... like the absolute worst when it comes to routines! OMG. 🤦🏽‍♀️ I've been good at posting to IG, but horrible at completing my blog. I've been so busy with work and my regular life that focusing on this has been a real challenge but I'm getting better! Ok... here we go: 

Day 2: What Are You Passionate About? 

I'm passionate about love. About family. About the arts. I'm passionate about my loved ones. About food. About traveling and living life. I'm passionate about the youth.

Day 3: What Are The Achievements You Are Most Proud Of?

God allowed me to create the most amazing child. I've obtained two degrees and have been able to create a career, I'm passionate about, and work for over 10 years in that field. I've paid off a car and walked away from an abusive man I absolutely loved. I was able to come back from severe anxiety and PTSD. I'm still able to love after all the hurt and pain.

Day 4: What Are You Most Grateful For In Life?

I am grateful for family structure and the way I was raised. As I get older, I realized that everyone's upbringing has a significant impact on how they interact with and impact the world.  My family structure is one of nurture, compassion, support and empathy. We communicate and compromise. We speak our minds. We love and laugh. I'm grateful for how I was raised because it allows me to love and connect to people on an almost spiritual level.

Day 5: What Are The Most Important Things To You In Life?

Family… are they things? I mean they're mine. Are we talking possessions? My cats are kind of things… right? I love those old Fur balls. My car is very high up on this list as well. I would feel lost without my Widow. I also have an affinity for my gadgets but I've been kinda disconnected lately... but where's my phone?

Day 1 - Who are you?

Who am I? Who am I? I am Yoshi. I'm a modern day hippie. An empath that loves people and hates them at the same time. I'm a giver...that will give her last to make sure her loved ones are good at the detriment of herself. I am love. I am hope. I am pain. I am desperation & despair. I can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare. I am confusion. I am chaos. In the midst of my own darkness; I am light; dimmed by the darkness of my own determination. I am me.
