December 7, 2025: this wasn’t on purpose

Happy Sunday happiness crusaders 💖

I apologize for not updating this as regularly. The busiest time of the year has been brought upon me as a single parent. This usually starts around Halloween and will slow down after Valentine’s Day next year. Thanksgiving was a doozy as I visited my own family’s for the first time in seven years and I didn’t feel like I lasted an hour. For Christmas, my daughter and I will be road-tripping to Colorado to see some good friends (my co-founder of WMMH and her family). I’m excited to see what the rest of 2025 will look like, to see what 2026 will provide for my family and I, and celebrating a special little girl’s 9th birthday!

Today’s sermon at Frias Church was a word I didn’t know I was desperate to hear. What is given is never lost. It is sown. If God provides and it stays with you, it will never be sown. For the good we teach our children, they grow into the adults spreading that goodness to future generations. Choosing to take five minutes to love your spouse sets your relationship up for success for years to come. The seeds we plant today are sown for generations. It all starts with a choice. The choice to express gratitude. The choice to love. What seeds will you plant for yourself to be sown in 2026?

When God’s blessing is on your ordinary, it becomes extraordinary.

May God, who gives this patience and encouragement, help you live in complete harmony with each other, as is fitting for followers of Christ Jesus.

Romans 15:5

Until next week, here’s three things today that make me happy:

curating playlists (stay tuned for this), peppermint white mochas, Squishmallows.

Celebrate what makes you happy always.

Stay blessed,
