Hey my beautiful soul family,
I wanted to share something from my heart with you today.

Right now, my body is in a season where I can’t just talk about self-care — I have to live it. My actions have to match my words. My body is fighting hard, and I’m having to pour every ounce of energy into resting, breathing, staying hydrated, and listening closely to what it needs.

That means slowing down in a way that I’ve never truly done before.
It means setting things aside — even the things I love deeply — so that I can take care of myself and keep moving forward. It’s not easy, and it is emotional, but it’s necessary.

I want you to know how much I appreciate every single thought, prayer, message, and bit of compassion you’ve sent my way. Your support truly means the world to me. Thank you for your patience as I move through this moment. Thank you for loving me through it.

I promise I’ll be back shining my light, encouraging, supporting, and pouring into you all as soon as my body allows. I miss showing up for you. I miss creating. I miss our daily connection. But right now… I have to fight for my health and honor what my body is asking for.

Please take care of yourself too.
Listen to your body when it whispers.
Rest before you break.
Give yourself permission to slow down, just like I’m learning to do.

I love you all so much, and I hope to be back soon.
Thank you for holding space for me. 💛

✨ Monday Mantra ✨

Good afternoon, beautiful souls. I wasn’t able to record our Monday Mantra video this week due to some health issues, but I didn’t want the message to slip by… because this one is powerful, and it’s honest.

This week’s mantra comes straight from a place many of us know too well — that one thing we’re still struggling with. The habit, fear, pattern, or challenge that feels heavier than everything else we’ve already survived.

So our Monday Mantra is:

“I honor the struggle — and I trust myself to rise, one choice at a time.”

Let that sink in for a moment.
Healing isn’t perfect. Growth isn’t linear. And the struggle doesn’t make you weak — it shows how strong you are for still trying.

✨ Soul Shine Affirmations

Repeat these softly to yourself today:
1. I am not defined by the things I am working to let go of.
2. I give myself compassion in the places I still struggle.
3. Every small step I take is evidence of my strength.

If this is your hard season… you’re not alone. I’m walking it with you.

💛

Take a moment and share one thing you’re choosing to be gentle with yourself about this week. Your voice might be exactly what someone else needs to hear.

And if you have a little extra love to spare… whisper a prayer for me today. I’d be grateful.

With love,💗 💫
Stacy

✨ Self-Love Sunday ✨
Before we pour into everyone else today, let’s take a moment to refill our own cups. You deserve the same love, compassion, grace, and tenderness that you so freely give to others.
Your soul can’t shine bright if you’re running on empty — so pause, breathe, and let yourself feel worthy of the care you extend to the world.

Self-Love Ellie has found you… now share three things you love about yourself below.
Let’s shine together. 💛

With love, 💗
Stacy

Thankful Thursday: One More Day

I didn’t make a Thankful Thursday post earlier, not because I’m not thankful…
but because today, my gratitude feels different.
Deeper.
Quieter.
More sacred.

Today, I’m thankful that I woke up.

For a long time, I took that simple gift for granted.
I neglected myself.
I made choices that hurt my body.
And now, I’m facing some health issues that have shaken me more than I’d like to admit.

There have been several nights this week where I went to bed scared —
scared of not knowing,
scared of the what-ifs,
scared of closing my eyes and not being granted another sunrise.

Not because I’m looking for pity.
Not because I want a handout.
But because this is where life has me right now —
and I know I’m not the only one.

The world has gotten expensive.
Insurance is out of reach for many of us.
We make too much for help,
too little to breathe.
And when you’re raising a child on top of it, the pressure hits different.

But here’s the truth I keep coming back to:

After spending years simply surviving…
after finally finding my light, my purpose, my peace…
I’m not ready for this journey to end.
I want to stay.
I want to keep growing.
I want to keep shining.
I want to keep loving the people I’m blessed to walk this life with.

So today, on this Thankful Thursday, my gratitude is simple:

I’m thankful for one more day.
One more breath.
One more chance.
One more morning to keep going.
One more day to fight for my life, my health, and the people I love.

And if you’re reading this and you feel that in your chest —
just know you’re not alone.
Every day we wake up is a day we’re still in the fight.
And that is something worth being incredibly thankful for.

✨ Watching Her Grow ✨

Happy 5th Birthday, Princess Stella — my sweet Ellie Bean.

Every now and then, a picture stops you in your tracks… because you can literally see the journey.
The tiny baby who once fit in the crook of your arm… now standing tall, smiling with her whole entire spirit.
The personality.
The confidence.
The sparkle.
The peace-sign poses and the goofy grins — all of it tells a story:
she is growing up knowing she is loved, protected, and safe to be fully herself.

And that’s the whole prayer, isn’t it?
To raise little humans who feel secure enough to shine.
To give them a childhood they don’t have to heal from.
To witness their joy and know…
we helped make that.

Today, as we celebrate Stella turning five, my heart spills over with gratitude.
I am so thankful that I get to be part of her journey — and the journeys of all my grandchildren.
What an honor it is to watch them grow, to see who they are becoming, and to witness their light unfold day by day.

I am blessed beyond measure for every moment I get with them — the loud ones, the silly ones, the quiet ones, the magical ones. And I pray that I get many, many more years to watch them bloom.

Happy Birthday, sweet Stella.
Thank you for the joy, the wonder, the spark, and the love you bring into our lives.
What a treasure you are. ✨💖🌈

Life moves fast.
We chase goals, checklists, and to-dos — trying to keep up with the world’s idea of “enough.”

But these are the moments that truly matter…
A quiet afternoon. A little one breathing peacefully against your chest. The kind of love that asks for nothing but presence.

When I was raising my kids, I worried so much about keeping the house clean, the schedule full, and everything “in order.” I didn’t realize how quickly those moments would slip by.

Now, with my grandkids, I see it differently. I see how sacred these small pauses are — how they fill the spaces that no amount of success, money, or perfection ever could.

One day, the dishes will still need done, the world will still spin, but these moments — this connection, this bond, this love — are what will echo through lifetimes.

These are the moments that matter. 💛

🌙 “Take a deep breath, open your heart, and let your pen guide you.”

✨ Journal Prompt:

“What part of me still believes I have to earn love, peace, or rest—and what would shift if I began offering those things to myself freely, without condition?”

Reflective Guidance:
• Explore where that belief may have originated—childhood, past relationships, or self-criticism.
• Write about what it would feel like to be fully accepted by yourself, without needing to prove your worth.
• Consider what daily practices, boundaries, or affirmations could help you embody unconditional self-love.
