30 for 30-Vibrate Higher

Hello everyone in blog land!

I know…It’s been greater than a year since I updated this blog. I’m not going to sit here and lie and say “oh yeah…I’ve been busy.” It’s not a lie though. I have been. Marriage, career, and oh yeah—a new purchase of a house! J That process within itself took over a year. I’ll blog about that process soon.

The point of this blog, while I sit here on my 2nd wedding anniversary, is a point of reflection I’ve had in the last few months.

My 30th birthday is in 2 days. It makes sense to be reflective of all the things I’ve done in the past 29 years. (actually 24 because my earliest memories come when I turned 5.)

I’ve done a self analysis of myself through my blog. It all started in 2013 at a time where I moved to a new city to start a career in my chosen field. I knew the struggle of getting to that point but at the moment, I was excited, nervous, and slightly anxious. I remember feeling those exact emotions last when I graduated high school, graduated from college. Honestly, with each major transition of my life, I’ve felt similar emotions. How I’ve dealt with them has varied. I’ve noticed when I’ve let my emotions overtake my logic and the stuff I’ve learned—it can be overwhelming. I’ve had days where everything is fine and days where it feels unbearable at times. What I’ve noticed is that these intense moments have kept me from being my best self. There were days when I wanted to blog and the insecure voice inside whispering “what if they don’t like it?” “you sound so preachy.” Etc. My husband, who has been a saving grace for me, has told me “Whoever who told you something was wrong with you—fuck them.” He’s right. The main person that I war with is myself, the insecure voice in my head. So to that voice, fuck you. I can’t allow you to continue to steal joy, creativity, hustle, shine, and greatness. YOU HAVE TO GO! To beat this voice, I have re-visited some tools I’ve used in the past to get back on track.

My tool kit stems from childhood really. I’ve always enjoyed reading, learning, and expanding my mind. I am looking forward to the 30 for 30 list I’ve created myself. I’ve also noticed that the things I write in my own handwriting I tend to achieve. To conclude, I’m looking forward to my 30s—revisiting and enjoying the things I absolutely love and creating new things. My greatest hope, if you still follow, is to continue this journey with me. I am hoping to re-vamp this blog to fit within the context of this new phase. I hope you continue to follow and learn to and watch me vibrate to my higher self.

3 good things:
1. Vacation! Spa time soon!
2. Celebrating my 30th.
3. Finally settling into our house and hosting our kick back

Vibrate higher,
Barbara

Happy Wednesday folks! Hope you all are having a lovely day! ^_^

--------------------------------------------------------

Sometimes, I find myself doing mundane things at work, home, or wherever and I think "I don't want to do this. Why do I have to do this?" Then I realize, it's not for my benefit but for something bigger.

I have encountered that lately. I've entered into partnerships and various things that the end part was the bigger goal than individual components.

A prime example of this is when I started to follow Jesus' example and follow God again. The big picture is not me but the relationship I have with God. It's all about Him because He is the true source of everything for me. Without Him, I am nothing. Although it is true He cares for me and loves me, the gifts, talents, and everything else He has blessed me with serves his benefit and glory--not mine.

At work, they have started a new discharge design to better serve our patients. Some nurses gripped about it because they felt like it was "too much work". However, they failed to realize that at the end of the day, the hospital is a business and if the patient is not satisfied, we cannot operate efficiently therefore we won't have a job there. It is much bigger than us--it is for the overall good for our organization at the end of the day.

Life is truly bigger than what others may make it out to be. It is bigger than ourselves. It is more about we instead of me. Unfortunately, in our society today, it seems like more and more people are so stuck on small that they cannot seem to see the bigger picture.

What do you think? Is there more to life? What is your bigger picture? I would love to hear from you all!

3 things-

1. Church today. The eyes of faith series is awesome and I am excited to hear a word tonight! Faith first comes by hearing!

2. My BF. :) I appreciate and adore you!

3. My upcoming vacation--so excited for the beach!

Feel free to share on social media!

Lots of love and blessings,

Barbara <3

Yes, the bigger is the important. How you fit in that puzzle isn't always up to you. However, God is the one who designed the puzzle and it is up to you to finish it. I must say you are one very important puzzle piece to me.
