Today we observe & celebrate Memorial Day. ❤️🤍💙 However, this is more than just a holiday; it's more than just a day off from work or a weekend to have fun.

Memorial Day is a chance to pause, remember, show deep gratitude, & honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Today we remember that many freedoms & rights we experience today came at the cost of human lives. We pause today not only to remember those service members who gave their lives, but also the families, friends, & communities affected by their loss.

Today we celebrate those who gave their lives for the liberties we currently enjoy. Let's continue to show gratitude & deep thanks for all who have lost their lives protecting our country & those currently still serving.

Happy Memorial Day!!! 🇺🇲🪖🎖❤️

I had the most phenomenal day earlier this month spending time with some beautiful, inspiring women! Our Soul Care Sunday: Spring Edition was a magical experience filled with slow, gentle, relaxing activities that made making time for self-care feel a little easier & a little more achievable. With the support of other women, our sisters, we were able to feel encouraged, empowered, & like being our authentic selves was enough. All the love & positive vibes could be felt from start to finish.

If you couldn't make this Soul Care Sunday event, stay tuned for more info on our Summer Edition coming soon! Thanks so much to A Small Place Bookshop, Touch of Char, Adaora Ceremonies, First.Love.Yourself LLC, Atl Collectibles, Diva on a Plate, & all the amazing beauties who made this event incredible.

Thanks so much to all the beautiful, amazing women who I was able to share a space with today at Macon Magazine 's Women About Business event at the Mill Hill Community Arts Center.

This was such an inspiring & rewarding experience, & I always love the chance to learn from other empowered women. We all succeed & grow when we work together & support each other.

Big thanks to Susannah Maddux of Macon Magazine, Cox, & all the other beautiful souls who made this day possible. 🥰🙏🏽🙌🏽

Happy Tuesday Yall! 👋🏽 As yall know, I'm all about supporting small businesses, & today I had the privilege of visiting Macon Made Nutrition downtown on Second Street!!! 😁

The space was very welcoming with colorful, happy vibes. The owner, Cheyenne, was very friendly & knowledgeable. She took the time to explain what they offered & even suggested a loaded tea for me to try since it was my first time. I am sold!!! The Fiery Sunset tea I had was DELICIOUS!!! 😋

If you're looking for a new spot to try with friendly people & drinks that are not only tasty, but also nutritious, please stop by for a loaded tea, smoothie, or protein shake! You won't regret it!

A mother's role in her child's life is both unique & irreplaceable. She loves, cares, nutures, guides, protects, comforts, & sacrifices like no one else can.

A mother loves her child unconditionally. Her voice is the first voice her child recognizes. The bond & connection shared by mother & child is like no other.

So let's take this day to truly give deep thanks, gratitude, honor, & love to the beautiful women who brought us into this world. Without them, we would not exist.

If you are still blessed to have your mother, never take her for granted & make sure you show her your love & appreciation every single day. For those who have lost a mother, let today be the day for happy memories you shared together & the peace that comes from knowing you were deeply loved.

Happy Mother's Day!!! 🥰🤗🌸🌹🌼🌷

Happy May!!! 🌷☀️🤗 The arrival of this wonderful month brings many beautiful, amazing celebrations. In May, we look forward to graduations, Mother's Day, Memorial Day, Teacher Appreciation Week, & Mental Health Awareness Month, just to name a few. It's also the month of my wedding anniversary & my husband's birthday!!! 🎉💍

As we continue to enjoy the wonders of spring (my favorite season) & celebrate with family & friends, don't forget to also take care of YOU. Yoga can be an incredible addition to your current or your new wellness journey. Self-care is essential, & we're always better able to care for others when we take care of ourselves first.

There are multiple opportunities to practice with Empowering Peace Yoga in May. You can practice Virtual Beginner-friendly Chair Yoga with me from home via Zoom every Tuesday from 7-8pm EST. You can also practice with me in person this month at Homegrown Yoga in Macon, A Small Place Bookshop in Avondale Estates, & also Artspace Macon.

PLANT ADOPTION DAY!!! 😁🤗🪴 As most of you know, I'm an avid plant lover/enthusiast/addict!!! Plants have always been a source of peace for me. So last Thursday, I decided it was time for a new plant baby! Big thanks to Cam & Leann of Cam’s Plants at Ingleside Village for helping me choose my newest addition! My 2 plants I've gotten so far from Cam's are definitely thriving. 💕

If you're looking for something new & different to add to your plant collection or looking to learn more & slowly step into the realm of plant parenting, Cam is the person to go see. They always have interesting plants stocked & are always willing to help with all your plants needs. I love them! 🥰🌱 If you're also a plant lover, please share your plant babies in the comments!
