Confession Time! I almost broke one of the two greatest commandments. As I was working a pre-closing shift at my job I was overwhelemd with lethargy. I had no motivation and was extremely tired. So as I was handling my pre-closing duties which it to filll up salad dressing containers for the openers and morning staff I said that I would not do all the dressings because the moring staff could handle it. #PLOTTWIST I would be the morning staff but I just didn't know it yet. back to the story: I proceed to do the salad dressings that I wanted to do and as I was starting to clear my area but I knew that even though I was tired I would want to have had the dressings prepared for me should I work an opening shift because we do have a busy work day and salad dressings are a hot commodity (people usually ALWAYS ask for extra and we run out quick). SO I filled up all the rest of the dressings and made sure that the opening staff had a little extra for the popular salads so that there would be one less thing to worry about for the morning. After I got off work that evening I received a text from a co-worker asking me to cover a shift for her that next morning and I took it because extra money is never a bad thing. When I arrived the morning after I recalled this scripture below: Matthew 7:12 (NKJV) "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets." (this scripture alludes to the second greatest commandment) So lovelies, since I choose to obey the two greatest commandments by treating my neighbor as myself/ doing unto others what I would want done to me, I had sewed good seed and reaped the benefits in the morning. Matthew 22:36-40 (NKJV) "“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?”Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.'" Thanks for reading lovelies! Peace & Blessings <3 Nándi

Hey lovelies! I've been MIA but it's all out of self care. Self care has become of major importance to me since I graduated this past May. #ClassOf2018 #FirstGenerationGrad So instead of hitting you all with a lengthy blog post, I thought I'd keep it short and sweet. Here are a three of my top self care tips that I have been using. 1.) God first! You are no good to anyone if you haven't taken any care of yourself. The most important part of life to me is your spiritual life. After all everything in this life will one day pass away so if I'm feeling run down or tired 😴 I will readjust my time and life to focus on my pursuit of God. “Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.” III John 1:2 NKJV 2.) Schedule regular "Me" time. I literally lock myself in my room sometimes and enjoy being in my own space even if I go nowhere just 30 minutes to an hour of me time gives me a much needed rejuvenation for productivity & positive living. 3.) Sleep IS a priority. It is totally okay to skip out on plans or schedule outings early if your sleep schedule is affected by staying out too late. As I am adjusting to a new time in my life these things have helped me bounce back from college all nighter's and lacks schedule into my big girl duties before grad school. Thanks for reading lovelies! Peace & Blessings <3 Nándi |
