Preety things for myself

This isn’t a post — just a moment of honesty from me to me ....

Whenever stress starts to pile up — the kind that sits quietly on my shoulders and refuses to leave — I find myself drawn to pretty things. Not grand things, but delicate ones. A new bra set. Soft lace panties. Maybe even a silky nightie that feels luxurious against my skin.

It’s never about showing it off. It’s about feeling like me again — the version of myself that still finds beauty even when life feels messy.

I’ve always had a soft spot for Bra House. There’s something oddly comforting about walking into that store — all those colors, fabrics, and textures lined up neatly, waiting to be chosen. I love picking things that match — a bra and panties that belong together. It feels like quiet harmony, a little control in a world that often feels scattered.

When I slip into something that fits beautifully, it’s like my body exhales. I’m reminded that I don’t need to wait for a special occasion or a reason. Feeling pretty is the reason.

I used to think I had to earn moments like these — lose weight, hit goals, or wait for someone else to notice. Not anymore. Now I buy the set because I want to. Because I deserve to feel good even when no one sees it. Especially when no one sees it.

Just now, after one of those long, draining days, I stopped by Bra House again. I picked up a lovely matchy set — soft blush tones, delicate lace — and a nightie that felt like a quiet promise to myself: to slow down, to breathe, to remember softness.

Maybe self-care looks different for everyone. For me, it’s this — small, pretty things that remind me I’m still worthy of gentleness, even on the hardest days.

Finding Strength in Vulnerability: My Journey with Anxiety

 Hello there! Can you believe we're already halfway through 2024? Time truly flies. Unfortunately, this year didn't start off on the best note for me. It's been a long, dragging few months, and just yesterday, I experienced a severe anxiety attack that lasted for three hours. It felt like my world was falling apart. I couldn't catch my breath, my heart was racing, and my body was shaking uncontrollably. What triggered this? It was just a normal Monday until this sudden wave of anxiety hit me. I had to leave my desk and talk to a colleague to try and distract myself. But the palpitations only grew worse, and I found myself telling my close friend that I needed to get out of there. As soon as I reached the bench outside, the tears started flowing. I felt more vulnerable than I have in two years. It reminded me of my first anxiety attack, which happened alone, in the middle of the night, leaving me feeling lost and scared. I've always been a worrier, constantly frettin...

Honoring Our Journey of Progress

Hey there, beautiful souls! How's life treating you all? Sending out a shower of blessings your way. Lately, I've been on another     journey of self-discovery and growth. It's incredible how we can be our own worst critics, isn't it? We often find ourselves tangled up in the web of our own expectations, only to end up feeling utterly devastated when we fall short of achieving what we desire. Yews ouch!   Ah, the vicious cycles of life! They have a way of knocking us down, hitting us hard in the gut, and making us question our worth. It's as if we're constantly riding a roller coaster, one moment feeling on top of the world, and the next, crashing down to the depths of despair. Oh, how I know that feeling all too well! But you know what? In the midst of these tumultuous ups and downs, I've learned a valuable lesson. I've come to realize that it's unrealistic to expect myself to be the same person every single day. Life is a constant ebb and flow, and...

Near-death Reflection

Two days ago,  I had an experience that shook me deeply and made me truly appreciate the precious gift of life.  After more than twenty years of driving, I was in a major car accident.  I don't remember much about the incident, other than the airbag exploding in my face.  I was in shock at the time, but perhaps thanks to my previous training as a crew member in an emergency, I was able to cope with the situation. But when I got home, I succumbed to emotions and found myself unable to do anything but cry and cry.  Only then did I realize how lucky I was to be alive, how lucky I am to be able to get home.  The fact that the man whose towing my car said it was a terrible accident and I could lose my life.  The weight of this awareness impressed me so much that I could only hug my mother and keep crying. This experience made me think about how I live my life.  Have I treated others kindly and respectfully?  Have I made a positive impact on those ...
