Oh my beautiful people, welcome back to the moments podcast. I want to start off by apologizing for the fact that last week we had no episode of moments. I have missed you guys and truthfully I recorded an episode

to upload for last week and I completely forgot about it and I never exported it and I never edited it and truthfully I think that was meant to be because I was like really not feeling myself not feeling like myself last week when I recorded and when I sat down and I have just kind of felt like I've been dissociating big time with everything that's been going on in my life and in the world and the episode

was a whole lot of nothing and that's not to say that this episode might turn

out the same way because I'm still struggling with a lot of the same feelings in my head and a lot of the same situations but I've

definitely been more hopeful. I've been leading into my faith more. I've been

trying to trust the process and hopefully my brain will work a little

bit better and I'll be able to complete some thoughts more than I was able to last week.

Also noting that it's important for me to continue to record and share my life,

even in the moments where I don't necessarily feel my best,

and share this podcast and upload this

podcast because that's why we started it in the first place. We started this as a

place where we are going to be real, we are going to be authentic, we're not just

going to highlight the pretty moments of life, we are going to be authentic, we're not just going to highlight the pretty moments of life,

we are going to work through and talk through everything it is that we embrace and experience

together.

And that being said sometimes those lows are deeper than we can really wrap

our head around and like they're so low where we don't have the motivation to continue our work or share how we're feeling and I just

unfortunately feel like that's where my head's been at the past couple of weeks like I've just been feeling so

down exhausted and anxious that even when I want to get online and talk about how I've been feeling, I can't necessarily do it because I'm just lacking all of that energy if that makes sense. But we're here and today we're going to talk through it, we're going to work through it. I want this episode to be a couple of things. One kind of a life update and if you don't care I'm so sorry. On that note we're also going to be talking about the hurricanes that have just hit Florida. I'm I live in Florida by the way in case you guys don't know that.

Different ways we can help we can donate we can make an impact and we can restore

everything that's been broken and bring people together and build up our community and all of those things.

And the next thing we're going to be talking about is dogs and shelter dogs and how you can
