What could you let go of, for the sake of harmony?

I would try to let go of stress but so hard to do so because of too many people in this world that causes stress when driving or in crowds.. The cost of living is so extravagant that all we do is struggle so that also causes stress to rear it’s head.

So harmony? Don’t know what that feels like anymore!

On the nature of stress: 

• “Stress is not what happens to us. It is our response to what happens, and that response is something we can choose,” says a mindfulness resource. 
• “Stress is caused by being \”here\” but wanting to be \”there.\”” quotes Eckhart Tolle. 
• “It’s not stress that kills us; it is our reaction to it,” according to Hans Selye. 

On managing stress: 

• “The greatest weapon against stress is our ability to choose one thought over another,” according to William James. 
• “The key is not to prioritize what’s on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities,” suggests Stephen Covey. 
• “For fast-acting relief, try slowing down,” says Lily Tomlin. 
• “Sometimes, the bad things that happen in our lives put us directly on the path to the best things that will ever happen to us,” says Nicole Reed. 

On coping with stress: 

• “It’s okay to not be okay. Take a deep breath and let yourself feel your emotions. But don’t stay there. Find healthy ways to cope with your stress,” according to a mindfulness resource. 
• “In times of great stress or adversity, it’s always best to keep busy, to plow your anger and your energy into something positive,” according to Lee Iacocca.

A wedding is the ceremony where two people publicly commit to a lifelong partnership, typically involving the exchange of vows and rings, and often including a celebration called a reception. It’s a formal event marking the beginning of a marriage and is often steeped in cultural and religious traditions. 

Here’s a more detailed breakdown: 

• Ceremony:The central part of a wedding, where the couple exchanges vows, rings, and pronouncements of marriage. It can be religious, civil, or symbolic, and may include readings, music, and other rituals. 
• Reception:A celebration following the ceremony, where guests congratulate the couple, enjoy food and drinks, and celebrate the marriage. 
• Traditions:Weddings often incorporate cultural or religious traditions, but couples are increasingly personalizing their ceremonies and receptions to reflect their unique preferences. 
• Legal Binding:A wedding ceremony can be legally binding, depending on the jurisdiction and whether it includes the necessary legal procedures and registration. 
• Symbolism:Weddings symbolize the couple’s commitment to each other, the joining of families, and the start of their journey as a married couple.

Describe your most memorable vacation.

That will be hard for me!

I have actually had a few while we were able to afford it back then.

I’m going to list them because they were all memorable and worth sharing!

Florida- to swim with dolphins! I was able to experience the first with my daughter and cousin! The second with my husband on a seperate trip.

Another trip to florida specifically to pet a tiger with my daughter and to meet Hope and Winter from dolphin tale movies!

My most recent trip was to Michigan with my husband to see as many lighthouses as we could!

We actually stayed in a lighthouse for our 5 days and it was amazing!

I won’t show all of them due to being quite a few!!

20!! They have over 100 so we barely scratched the surface! Will definitely go back when we can to visit many more !!!!

If you were forced to wear one outfit over and over again, what would it be?

Oh boy! Just one? Have you even seen my closet?

How am I to choose just one outfit!?

But ok, here goes, if I had to choose just the one (so not fair!)

It would be my upcoming renaissance faire outfit with accessories! Simply fun and pretty! ( in my opinion!)💐
