[I appreciate you. @DeeLaSheeArt]

Not enough adults are understanding that they have to create moments of happiness in their lives. Find things to be excited about. Create plans to look forward to. Decorate the house during holidays. Make a playlist you only listen to on Tuesdays. Keep your favorite snacks stocked in case of a bad day. You have more control over your joy than you think.

Being able to only focus on school while in school

So, I spoke to people getting food at a food bank and here are some things I learned from those in need:
1. Everyone donates Kraft Mac and Cheese in the box. They can rarely use it because it needs milk and butter which is hard to get from regular food banks.
2. Boxed milk is a treasure, as kids need it for cereal which they also get a lot of.
3. Everyone donates pasta sauce and spaghetti noodles.
4. They cannot eat all the awesome canned veggies and soup unless you put a can opener in too or buy pop tops.
5. Oil is a luxury but needed for Rice a-Roni which they also get a lot of.
6. Spices or salt and pepper would be a real Christmas gift.
7. Tea bags and coffee make them feel like you care.
8. Sugar and flour are treats.
9. They fawn over fresh produce donated by farmers and grocery stores.
10. Seeds are cool in Spring and Summer because growing can be easy for some.
11. They rarely get fresh meat.
12. Tuna and crackers make a good lunch.
13. Hamburger Helper goes nowhere without ground beef.
14. They get lots of peanut butter and jelly but usually not sandwich bread.
15. Butter or margarine is nice too.
16. Eggs are a real commodity.
17. Cake mix and frosting makes it possible to make a child’s birthday cake.
18. Dishwashing detergent is very expensive and is always appreciated.
19. Feminine hygiene products are a luxury and women will cry over that.
20. Everyone loves Stove Top Stuffing.

In all the years I have donated food at the Holidays, I bought what I thought they wanted, but have never asked. I am glad I did. If you are helping a Family this Christmas, maybe this can help you tailor it more. It does for me!

One thing I realized is that everything always ends up working out. Sometimes even better than you can imagine. Remember this when you feel like you're in a hard place or you feel like you're being challenged the most. Believe in where you're headed. See the bigger picture.

Whenever a show like #mafs or #TheBachelor brings out a psychic, it makes me wonder if the people who are having the reading done wonder if the producers just told the psychic everything, because like, bfrfr

One thing about me, imma make a list 📝 my notes app is crazy 😂

[itsmariahchante @RyeChante]

Imagine being able to experience any emotion and not letting it get in the way of your happiness or success. That’s called being emotionally empowered.

You making a vision board for the new year?

[itsmariahchante @RyeChante]

Yes! My mom and I would go there to pick up some bread pudding when I’d get out of school early during my senior yr. Got me wanting bread pudding now 😩

We’ve been scammed into thinking occupational wellness isn’t a thing

[Alexis. @alexistere]

work really shouldn’t make you feel like you’re gonna lose your mind.

[itsmariahchante @RyeChante]

Social wellness is all about who you are surrounded by. It’s about your community and your relationship with your community

[itsmariahchante @RyeChante]

If you ever googled how to make friends as an adult or wondered how you got to that point, no judgement, it’s just time to develop your social wellness

[itsmariahchante @RyeChante]

It’s because we don’t trust people

[itsmariahchante @RyeChante]

Guess why people struggle to make friends and build community as adults…

[itsmariahchante @RyeChante]

@alexistere Very scary! He is not a safe person to be alone with

[itsmariahchante @RyeChante]

Oop. I just finished the episode 😬

[itsmariahchante @RyeChante]

Justin is exhausting. How are you going to give Alexis a reason to be annoyed by telling her you know it’s not fair that he wants to stop the convo even though he started it and then ask her if she has regrets. He should’ve said no b/c obv he doesn’t feel wanted #mafs
