I was laying on my office couch staring out the window when I saw leaves beautifully falling from the trees in great numbers. This triggered me to rummage through my reseller bin for a full length skirt I previously thrifted. It has a richly colored leaf pattern that matches the fall season perfectly.

God is on the Throne

Girl, Yes! You most certainly can rock a mini dress while pregnant! One of my favorite lounge dresses is a thrifted Athleta Black V-Necked Topanga Dress. I wore it all the time before getting knocked up – so I figured why give up now!!! Allow those extra curves and thick thighs to elevate the sexy mamacita-ness! My strategy is:
Wear the mini dress til’ seams start snappin’ & the baby starts clappin’!

This world is too loud. Not nature. We humans. Many of us fill our days with so much noise and very little intentional silence. When I walk through my local forest preserve and my neighborhood pathway that is enclosed with trees – it is quiet. It is peaceful. Sure, there are birds singing a new song, squirrels scurrying across fallen leaves as they carry out their nut burying business, and mallards quacking and paddling at the pond – but nevertheless, it feels calm.

We are trading in person giggles and heart to hearts for the constant feed of content. The pressure to share, post, watch, wait, and respond is insane and quite frankly – I am overrrr it! I have been asking the Lord to make my life so enjoyable in the real world that Instagram becomes an after thought and an overflow of the abundance I am experiencing in the real physical world. The Lord has heard my prayer. My life is becoming fuller and fuller – the favor of the Lord, guiding of the Holy Spirit, and self control (a fruit of the Spirit) – has sponsored this movement in my life.
