✨M I N D S E T✨ It’s Monday! Start the week ✨M I N D S E T✨

It’s Monday! Start the week with reminding yourself that you are a worthy of it all. 🙌🏽You are capable of achieving whatever it is that you want. It’s all a mindset. Mindset is everything. Your behaviors, decisions and actions change favorably when you commit to changing your perspective.

⭐️Didn’t get the job? It’s OK. They weren’t ready for you.

⭐️Gained weight? It’s OK! Celebrate how well you’ve been eating! All those yummy dishes!

⭐️He/she said no? It’s really okay! There’s a real, effortless connection on the way!

⭐️The dream you’ve been working so hard on hasn’t materialized? It’s OK! God is still preparing you to receive his best! More than you could have asked for.🙌🏽

You get the point! Change your mindset, change your life. I’m on this good-good high streak and excited about all I’m inviting in my life. Mindset. It’s your best friend. Work at it. Work hard. It’s there for you!💃🏽

B! great today! I believe in you!💛⭐️

🌸A Cherry Blossom Garden Wedding 🌸 My Mom i 🌸A Cherry Blossom Garden Wedding 🌸

My Mom is one-of-a-kind. For their 50th wedding anniversary 3 years ago, she wanted a big, garden-lit, 40's style wedding, à la a Spanish novela (set in the 40s) she binged on Netflix. And so she made it happen. It took us almost 1 year to plan, but it came to life, just as she wanted. We were all clad in period looks. My brothers wore suspenders, vests, bowties and newsboys hats. The girls had on pillbox hats and petite coat lace dresses, paired with vintage gloves. I styled us with authentic estate pieces from the era. 😍

🌸The backdrop of their massive Cherry Blossoms, dogwoods and Japanese maple, all of which I climbed up in a crane to light and dangle with gold streamers, weighted by beautiful glass jars filled with candles, set the perfect vibe. The entire front yard was flowing with 60 feet streamers and lights. One of the cherry blossoms lines the driveway, and that night it gently sprinkled loose foliage on the guests. It was dreamy. The set up  was the neighborhood chisme. A few neighbors actually posted up on the street to watch as they reclaimed their nuptials.

🌸Over 100 family and friends from far and near came and braved very chilly temperatures, all to indulge her garden wedding. My siblings, cousin, nieces and nephew and I lined their path, as we curtsied them as they walked up the aisle to the tune of the show's theme song. Our family pastor officiated a beautiful ceremony. It was truly a magical night!

🌸Please help me wish my parents a very happy 53 years of marriage! Wishing many more crazy years together! 

(I'll share reception later; see previous post for Mami and Papi love!)
