Allison Unplugged

Everyone’s got monsters and skeletons, hiding in their own closets. Let’s chat about them, let’s let their story take a little space because all things happen for a reason… in the darkness is a message of awareness and boundaries.

It’s national assisted living week and you all know how I feel about our elders so get out there and figure out how you can help out and make a difference. You won’t, and just make a difference in a seniors life, it will bless you tenfold as well!

Spilling the tea on my favorite childhood activity aaaaand it’s Virgo season so what better time than now to get organized and motivated. You day planner can be your best manifesting tool!!!!

I’m not sure why, but I really do not like the word busy. I used to be overwhelmed by the busyness of life. Now I realize most of the things that make me “busy” are things that I actually prayed for. Let’s change that word/mindset from busy to blessed!

You know me always trying add more tools to my toolbox to assist the greatest generation!!! Tooting my own horn over here about something I did in my Grandparents honor. 😊 👵 👴

This is a friendly reminder, mostly to self that you do not have to do it all. I don’t know about you all, but the summer season seems to get a little out of hand with mini projects, an overly abundant garden, vacations, and getting the kiddo ready for school. no one says you have to do all the things all the time. It’s OK to skip household chores and work on the garden. It’s OK to skip cooking a meal and order a pizza. It’s OK to go to the dry cleaner so you don’t half to iron all the shirts! And, for heaven sake, schedule some joy in your life immediately if you have not done so recently!

So here we are for phase 2 of the story, and the ending really of it all regarding my first marriage. And I use that word loosely. I accidentally married a transgender person in my early 20s. Listen to last weeks episode for part one to hear the details of how my naïve young self stumbled down this journey

I know this isn’t the easiest subject and for many it’s a hard pill to swallow, but we do all end up dying. It does not always have to be a scary process, nor does it need to be feared. I hope this episode can help shed some light on how you can hold space For those around you.

Y’all we are 1/2 way through 2023 what are you up to?!?

How many times do you go over your gratitude list a day? For years I have had a great gratitude practice and it’s often how I start and end my day. Recently, I had the realization that I don’t really share with others that they are on my gratitude list… Let’s change that. when was the last time you told your teenager you were grateful that they clean some thing? When was the last time you let your partner know you’re appreciated the way they kissed or held you? When was the last time you told your neighbor, thank you for growing those gorgeous flowers so I can admire them from my yard? Let’s start telling people how amazing they make our lives and how grateful we are for them!!!
