Thankful Thursday // Time to Heal

I'm not doing well physically or emotionally, but I'm thankful for the privilege of having the time to focus on healing. | Belle Brita

My default personality is a bright and bubbly person who sees the world in rose-colored glasses with rhinestone accents. So spending much of my time physically unwell and emotionally low clashes with who I prefer to be. I like being healthy and happy. I thrive as a healthy and happy person.

Thankful Thursday: Summer Edition

I'm thankful for the early signs of summer! | Belle Brita

Considering how hot and humid both Georgia and South Carolina get in the summer, it’s amazing how much I still love this time of year. Maybe it’s because my birthday is in June! I know it’s not summer on the calendar yet, but summer in the South starts in May and lasts through September. I’m… [Read More]
