Memorial Day

8 years ago I was standing at the top of the Indiana sand dunes asking myself when I would stop making excuses and start actually living life. 🥺

7 years ago I was just starting out my life in Houston. On my own for the first time with two kids. I had just starting out on my career and had bought my first car. 🚙

6 years ago I was finding my footing in the world. Still trying to wrap my head around my past while surviving my way into my future. 😢

5 years ago I moved into a house with my boyfriend. It was the first house I ever lived in since moving to the states. 🏠

4 years ago I was traveling all over the States for work and for personal and making dreams I never thought possible for myself come true. ✈️

3 years ago we bought and moved into our first home. I was not only living my dreams but creating new ones and learning to design a life I deserve. 🏡

2 years ago I was living the American dream, working hard on my self development and discovering the person I was deep inside. 📚

1 year ago I was walking through the depths of myself in meditation and silence. Learning to let go of my past and embrace the person it made my become. 🧘🏻‍♀️

Today, I’m sitting 20 floors up over looking the beach, feeling an overwhelming sense of gratitude that 8 years ago the stars aligned and my whole life changed. 🥰

Freedom – it’s was all I wanted. It was what my soul was searching for and 8 years ago on top of the sand dunes my soul tasted freedom and it lit a spark that set me on fire. 🔥

Of all the things one could want in this world, it was my desire for freedom that pulled me out of a life that was consuming me. 🥹❤️‍🔥

This day has so much meaning to me, not just because it’s a day that so many fought and died so we could be free. 🇺🇸 But this day I found my courage to fight for my own freedom and make my dreams my reality.

America is truly the land of freedom and I am so blessed to be living my own American dream. ❤️🇺🇸🥰

Happy Memorial Day!!! 🇺🇸💃🏻
