Have I Changed?

Last night was the first time I have watched the local news in way more than a year.  I listened for about 5 mins, and was reminded why I stopped. 

There is so much goodness out there in the world. Why are we only focused on the bad... why?? 

People ask why/how I can be so positive all the time. First let me tell you I am not perfect, and I do get caught in my negative thoughts much more than I would like. 
BUT... I started with turning off the news media.... even long before this crazy unforeseen year hit. 

I opened my bible more.
I started self care. 
I started reading inspirational books.
I starting soaking up wisdom from others who were a positive influence in my life.
Spoiler alert: You have the choice to follow who you would like on social media, the news etc... If the people you are following/listening to have a negative impact on your mind and thoughts you can hit that unfollow button at anytime. -yes I promise it's that easy
AND
I stopped comparing my life to others. 

Have I changed. Yep 
Dang Happy about it too!

Meet Shantel Delagardelle

Hi! I am Shantel, a wife, a mama of two girls on earth and one little boy in the arms of the Lord. I will always love Jesus first. I am a nature lover, and also enjoy camping as long as it involves a camper, also known as “glamping” (glamor camping). I am a believer in learning all the things possible while still here on earth. In my "free time" you will find me listening to a book full of wisdom on audible, because lets be honest the laundry has yet to fold itself. One day we plan to grow a homestead complete with gardens and chickens, nothing big (yet), but enough to live on fresh foods for the summer. In the past few years I have become super passionate about holistic wellness for my family.

I believe we are all on a journey to create a life we love and finding our true passion is where we need to focus. I have learned we all have a purpose in life, and if you haven’t found yours yet don’t give up, lean into God he's got you!

I look forward to sharing this crazy journey of life with you.

Ps ask me about my 4yr olds growing pains and how I officially, unofficially became a super crunchy mama. A simple switch and we have been opened to a lifetime of wellness, purpose and abundance.
