My incredible friend has shared her story of love, loss, and faith. After seeing each other at camp every year of their childhood and many bumps in the road, Claudia and Hayden married in 2014 after coincidentally ending up in the same city. Hayden tragically passed away last year, however Claudia is thankful for each moment they were able to spend together. karlamontalvan.com/2018/02/08/love-you-till-the-end/

Hello, February! Greeting cards have made this month all about love and friendship. We've all had it shake us to our core at some point, right? Well, my dearest dog, Milo and I would live to invite you to share your love story with us. The stories will form a part of the "Fourteen Days of Love" section on the blog. It can be any love story: happy, sad, familial, romantic. We just want to know it all! For confidentiality I will change the names (if you wish) of the persons in your story.

I am my biggest critic. I am very hard on myself and it's not at all the best. I've been pretty hard on myself lately for everything: decisions, impulses, actions, you name it. But guess what? I'm human. You're human. Every single one of us makes mistakes and IT IS OKAY. It is okay to make mistakes. You aren't perfect, and you must understand that it's the only way to learn. Today, I'm going to sit here until I forgive myself. Until I love myself, hug myself, and remind myself that IT IS OKAY. #selfcriticism #sadness #individuality #forgiveness

"Create beauty with every day you are given" I have made so many life changing decisions in the past 8 weeks, that I have been stuck on the whirlwind of change. I think I am growing more than I ever have before. I've paid my price--don't be fooled. In life you give some and get some, it's not linear--EVER. However, it tends to somehow always give you something much better than what it took. I'm horrible at dealing with loss and change. There has always been so much of it, and in some ways I feel like I search for it and welcome it when times get mundane. So, here is a snowy day. I've been experiencing loneliness in a way I never had before in the last 2 months. Let's just say I'm getting very acquainted with myself up here. But today, on my walk, I stood small in the beauty of nature, and realized that I am a part of nature too. That perhaps I am just going through an inner and outer Winter....and what comes next...Oh! Spring! I don't regret the choices I've made thus far, despite all my frustrations...they are taking me somewhere...stay tuned and I'll tell you where to soon.
