Stay Focused.

I know it may be a struggle, but try to look beyond what is right in front of your eyes.

“It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.”

Aristotle Onassis

Don’t get lost in the present moment. I know it may be a struggle, but try to look beyond what is right in front of your eyes.

One thing I learned at the age of 22, is that life keeps moving and the world keeps spinning, whether you are ready for departure or not.

At 22 years of age, as most of you know, I had major back surgery that threatened my ability to walk again. Yes, this was incredibly scary. And yes, my mental well-being took most of the hit.

But, now at 31 years old, I have a different appreciation for my current state of recovery. I am able to REST my mind and body because I am FOCUSED on what’s to come. I know my current state does not define the rest of my future.

While you are drowning it is hard to think about anything besides oxygen. But once you figure out how to swim, remember where you started and FOCUS on where you are heading.

With love always, LotusFlower,RN

I made a promise to myself that I wouldnโ€™t lose my self in social media as I conquer one of my biggest fears.ย #rejection

So, instead. You all are going to get the bloopers. The imperfections… I refuse to attempt 1,000 takes and criticize myself for what others MAY think about me. 

I have no idea what I am doing here, but I love it because ๐™ธ๐šƒโ€™๐š‚ ๐™ผ๐™ด.   ๐ŸคŽ๐Ÿค

Teach true self-love, itโ€™s our only real love.

Post-Op Day #3

The Dreamer

Reflections by LotusFlower, RN

My day started with a refreshing phone call from one of my sisters โ€ข

While sparing yโ€™all the 2-hour long details that transpired โ€ข

We processed our current barriers, we shared our goals, we uplifted each other, held each other accountable, we had an honest talk โ€ข

It left me feeling encouraged โ€ขย 

& that it is OK to dream foreverย โ€ข

To not take life for face value, to not grow content , but to always search for more โ€ข 

I needed this more than I thought, because I didnโ€™t realize how much I am seeking shelter in my comfort zone. โ€ข 

So, today I am breaking down walls that have been built. โ€ข

I want to break free from the corner I have been in โ€ข 

It whispers lies that โ€œIโ€™m not good enoughโ€ โ€ข

So, today, on post-op day #3, Iโ€™m grateful for being a

DREAMER โ€ข

Post-Op Day #1 :

Hello Loves!

Happy Tuesday !! So many things to share , but Iโ€™m going to keep it short and sweet ! ๐Ÿฏ

As you know, I had a recent injury, and yesterday was my big surgery ๐Ÿ’‰

This opportunity has granted me a lot of time to reflect on lifeโ€™s joys and lessons ๐Ÿ“š

And, I want to share the moments I am grateful for with you! So, I will be posting and checking-in throughout this journeyโœจ

Hoping to share light and positivity for others who may be healing and on their own road to recovery. ๐Ÿฆ‹

So, for today, on post-operative day #1 : 

โ€ข

Iโ€™แด Gส€แด€แด›แด‡า“แดœสŸ Fแดส€ Lษชา“แด‡. ๐ŸŒป

โ€ข

…To still have the opportunity to fight through lifeโ€™s unexpected hurdles. But, also experience the rewards from not giving up. ๐Ÿฅ‡

This is my promise to not give up on myself, and I hope you find it in your heart to do the same for yourself ! ๐Ÿค

Sorry, not super short, but I promise I tried ๐Ÿคฃ It’s still sweet though! –

With love,
