Life for Rent

Life | 04.19.18

This wandering soul found a place to call home. Yes, I’m now a proud homeowner with my husband but home is a relative term with a definition that varies per the person of whom is defining it.

My people.

For me, my heart is in the people I love. I believe a part of them is with me at all times therefore I share the same with them. My definition dually exists because in my 35.5 years in this world, I’ve moved twenty-five times. This probably explains my tendency to purge my closet, house, and anything in excess of what I need to survive in life.

The things I need to survive this autoimmune challenged life is peace, love, food, clothing, kind people, healthy food, positive environments, rest, and everything “glittery” with goodness to focus on in turbulent moments for serenity.

All things serene with Anna May Photography.

With my purging comes the opposing action of holding the precious people and things close to me. In today’s Wild West world, you never know what to anticipate for the four walls that provide you shelter. I have indoor cameras, outdoor cameras, panic buttons, and sufficient weaponry to guard my people and pets. But nothing is full proof so we have insurance to cover us in the worst-case moment’s that can happen to anyone.

Before I was married I also had renters insurance that proved to be quite important as two homes in my 35.5 years had instances that included the moments I couldn’t predict. Much like health is a necessity to living a complete life, safety is a necessity to feel secure in your four walls. Granted, the level of coverage you select in terms of limit, the cost of replacement, and the rate you prefer will vary by average cost of the renter and the type of coverage you choose with Erie Insurance.

It also helps if you like playing “hostess with the mostess” like me, then you most definitely need a policy for anyone that could be injured on your property; heaven forbid though…

Coffee Shop Junkie

Another great perk of insurance is that it covers you anywhere you are in the entire world. Example: If I’m out and about in NuLu working at Lueberry Acia or any given coffee shop and I lose my laptop because someone were to take it when I’m grabbing a water or using the restroom. Insurance (renters or not) covers losses like that. So take that, bad people that steal things. You suck and what you do comes back around so have fun with that!

Combating negativity with glitter since 2014.

No that my heart and body have a place to call home it eases up on my anxiety that used to keep me up all night. While a completely stress free life is an unobtainable desire, you can most definitely feel safe and sound knowing that the things you love can be replaced so you can focus on the experience of living this life to the fullest with the people that are home to your heart.

✨ 𝓉𝑜𝓅 𝓃𝒾𝓃𝑒 ✨ Compared to ✨ 𝓉𝑜𝓅 𝓃𝒾𝓃𝑒 ✨ Compared to other years, 40 posts in 2020 is scarcity at its finest when compared to other years of me posting almost every day. The time away has allowed me to get through one of the darkest years, so many of us have faced. While I’ve historically turned to my keyboard as a release of hardships, I’ve been unusually reclusive as I’ve focused on a silent health challenge, family, friends, work, and school as a guiding light. ✨ 2020 was a year I never really wanted, but I learned much about myself and tapped on inner strength to push through. ✨ Therefore I must be grateful for the lessons I’ve learned. 🙏 2021, please be kind. The world and I need it. #thankunext #surviveandthrive #ciao2020 #topnine

• 𝓂𝑜𝓇𝓃𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝓌𝑜𝓇𝒹𝓈 • Today I choose to show up as the best “me” I can be, much like how the ocean shows us how to be. ☀️ The empowered me that battles my autoimmune diseases with radical approaches to heal all within me. 💪 The confident me. The me that handles both anything and everything the world tosses at me. 🌎 The me that faces the world with eyes of possibility, creativity, and solution. 🤩 The me with a heart full of hope and a head full of beautiful dreams. 🥰 The me that floods others with kindness and love. 🌊 The me that knows my strength is my best asset because it paves the way for all of my dreams, much like a powerful currant like the waters can be. 💛 The me that knows it will be okay. Because this life is much like water, it never stays the same as it ebbs and flows. It’s a mystical cycle that reminds us how small we are compared to the big picture of this journey called life. 🤗 How refreshing is that ocean breeze. • 𝓈𝒽𝒶𝓉𝓉𝑒𝓇𝑒𝒹 • #writersofinstagram #wanderer #transformationtuesday #bellaoflouisville ✨
{ 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝒷𝒾𝓇𝓉𝒽𝒹𝒶𝓎 𝒸𝒽𝑒𝒸𝓀-𝒾𝓃 } It’s my birthday week, and while there is so much happening in our world that impacts each of us in a multitude of ways, there is still so much I’m grateful for. • I have a loving husband, kids, mom, extended family, and my fur babies. • I’m in remission with my autoimmune diseases. While I still have bad days, the good ones overshadow them. • I’m growing my career with education to continue chasing my dreams. • I have a loving roof over my head, cozy clothes on my back, and inner peace about things I cannot control. • It might not sound like much, but for me, life has given me more than I’ve ever prayed for. • I’ve “socially distanced” myself IRL and digitally with COVID to focus on family and my faith. I’m re-emerging into the world with a renewed sense of contentment and optimism. I’m ready to shed the 37-year-old shell to joyfully leap into 38 with all the hope I can muster. ✨ Cheers to this wild journey we call life! 🥃 #anotheryearwiser #cheers #celebrateeveryday
