WHY HELLO

LET’S CHAT!

I've never been into Vision Boards, because I didn

I've never been into Vision Boards, because I didn't know how to ask for what I wanted. Also - I never really knew what I actually wanted. That energy has been shifting, as my Inner Voice guides me toward abundance and expansion.
And with that, here are my intentions for the year, for the universe, for me. 💕

ESN 101 is officially live! I created this package as an introduction to Ever So Neat, and my approach to organizing from within.
March session starts next Wednesday, 3/15! [Link in bio] 😊

What if my house is too small to host visitors?
What if my career transition was good for my soul but bad for our budget?
What if my children don’t treat their friends the way they treat each other?
What would people think of my parenting/marriage/organization, if they were with us 24/7?
Why do I feel unable to cook hearty homemade meals for other people?
These are some of my recurring insecurities. And it turns out that inviting a family of five to spend the week with us is a really good way to have them surface. 😜
Luckily for me, I have amazing friends who took me up on the offer, and came simply to spend time with us. They made themselves at home, communicated their needs, and recognized ours. They joined us in our everyday activities, and gave us reason to add extra fun to our days.
They consistently proved my worries wrong. And beyond that, they left me with the knowing that even if those things were true, they would love me nonetheless. 💕

The most simple act that makes me feel most like a

The most simple act that makes me feel most like a mother: Preparing fruits. It connects me to all the small ways I've been nurtured by my mom, aunts and grandmothers. (And gives me the gentle reassurance that I can provide the same comfort for my littles, too.) 💕 Do you have one?

For a while, I kept being the one before The One.

For a while, I kept being the one before The One.
The one who got away,
The one who let herself get in the way.
For a while, I was worried about not being the only one.
I never felt like the one and only;
Never the “it was always you”.
Because for it to always be me,
I had to always BE me.
How could I fit myself beside another;
when I didn't know the shape of me?
When I met you, I was on my way to becoming myself.
And you didn’t know every part of me,
but you loved them, nonetheless.
And you didn’t know all the ways I would change,
but you loved me, nonetheless.
You chose forever, with me.
And you continue to choose forever,
every single day.
It took me a long time, but I finally learned
That the love I experience in a relationship
Is a mirror of how I love myself.
And the greatest gift you’ve given me,
Is the gift of being me.
All of the versions, all of the time.
In it, I have found the greatest gift of all:
Acceptance in myself.
You give me the space to explore who I am,
while offering the comfort of coming back, always.
To nestle myself under your arm,
tuck my cold feet between your knees,
And settled down, into my real life dreams.
And, love, I’m so happy,
To keep dreaming, and living, with you.

Tet.
Every year, I fall short of properly celebrating Lunar New Year, despite my best intentions to pass on our family traditions.
This year, I felt especially homesick as I realized…how can I replicate the family traditions…without my family? All of my happy memories involve me being surrounded by them - multiple gatherings, performing at the festivals, playing Ba Cua Ca Cop, enjoying extra special Tet foods…
And the li xi! All the cousins would get in line to greet the adults with their wishes for the new year. I distinctly remember the nervous feeling of not wanting to go first because of my limited Vietnamese, but also not wanting to go last because all the good lines would have been used.
Anyway, another year has passed without anything to show the boys. I was, however, able to create a deep moment of connection for myself - eating a quiet dinner in the company of my ancestors. It was a last minute altar, but I somehow managed to find just enough to make it come together. (Though I’m quite sure each of them would have some comments about my setup lol.)
It was just what I needed, as I start off the year with every intention to reconnect with my roots while expanding my little branches as far as they can stretch. (And maybe even more.) ✨
