Spent my Saturday morning with this lovely lady 💛 If you happen to ride at PDNA, you probably recognize her 🙂. Brooke is one of the awesome friends I’ve made at SoulCycle and it was such a fun time capturing her spirit today. She’s a quiet, sweet soul whose presence provides such peace 💛 #soulpeoplearethebestpeople
“When You don't move the mountains I'm needing You to move When You don't part the waters I wish I could walk through When You don't give the answers As I cry out to You I will trust, I will trust, I will trust in You..” ~ @lauren_daigle // You know when you say you’re handing something over to God to handle, but then...you don’t really? And God’s like 🙄. Guilty 🙋🏻‍♀️, but happy to keep trying 🙂 // Happy Friday, everyone! Whatever troubles you’re holding onto, hope the weekend allows you to loosen your grip, just a tad 💞
“All things in this world are gifts of God, created for us...to come to know Him better.” ~ St. Ignatius of Loyola // Before I left for silent retreat last fall, I asked ThiThoa if it would be appropriate to bring my camera, and she said that if taking pictures is part of my prayer and reflection, why not? // Each year, photography means more and more to me. It was a hobby that became a passion, and a passion that became an opportunity to do so many things and meet so many people. And lately, it has morphed into something even more meaningful - a gift that is also an offering and a means to serve; a gift that is also a prayer of gratitude to the One who did the giving ❤️ #thankfulthursday
I’m going on an Ignatian pilgrimage this summer in Spain and Italy, and we’re walking about 40 miles of the Camino de Santiago. There is so much we have to do to prepare for all of it, and one of them is to go on hikes. I went on my first lengthy one a few weeks ago (about 8 miles). It wasn’t as awful as I expected (because I expected it to be much harder since I’m not a hiker at all), and thankfully a relatively “easy” trail was chosen (Thanks, Joe 😬). It had its challenges, and I could barely move the next day, but it was such a beautiful way to spend my morning and I’m looking forward to more like it. I was out and about, walking alongside old and new friends, and the views? Well, swipe and see for yourselves 💞 #MountLowe #InspirationPoint
“Slow down. Be intentional. Notice the energy you are bringing into this space and moment.” ~ Brendon Burchard // I attended morning mass on my birthday last week, and in the past, I’ve usually had a list of plans for the day-off from work, so I’d spend the first few hours of the day going over my itinerary. It’s a habit I’m learning to curb 🙃 But last Thursday, I asked myself to slow down and keep my mind from racing ahead. What’s your hurry, Anna? I knelt there in church after communion and essentially read off a list in my mind of everything I wanted to thank God for, and with each item mentioned, I welled up a little more. Happy tears. Grateful tears. All because I took the time to, as the saying goes, stop and smell the roses 🌸🌺🌷🌹
One of the most valuable, and also most challenging, lessons I’ve learned (and continue to learn) over the last few years, is the importance of allowing ourselves to RECEIVE love - from others, but even from ourselves. Thought today would be a good day to send out this reminder ❤️ Love others, and allow them to love you ❤️ Happy Heart Day, everyone! #ValentinesDay
